Myria says "It makes me happy that you are worried about me, but don't worry too much, I will be careful. Besides, I am not going to take the trial until after your crazy plan ends. We have time that we can spend together until then."
"Alright, I will try not to worry. So, my plan for today was to head to Illium. I take it that you are coming with me?"
Myria says "Of course I am. You are not getting rid of me that easily!"
"Wasn't trying to!"
By this time we have finished eating and I was planning to get out of bed. However, Myria has other ideas and attacks me again before I can manage to move. She is extremely affectionate and I can't help but to respond in kind.
We go for another two rounds and then we are interrupted when the door opens. To my astonishment, it is Lin who enters the room and she joins us without saying anything. When she joins in, I find myself not sure what I am supposed to do, but the girls take over.
It is obvious that they planned this because Myria shows no surprise at all. Working together, the two of them manage to completely exhaust me. From the look of triumph that Lin gives me, I am guessing that this was the plan all along.
I always knew that Lin would get me back for some of my comments, but I didn't imagine it would be this much fun. They manage to wear me out so much that I end up taking a nap for a while. They wake me up after a few hours and then we have lunch together.
Once we are done eating, Lin gives me a long kiss and then leaves to return to the tower. I was expecting her to stick around and talk, but I guess the books are calling her. Myria just smiles as she looks at me and laughs at whatever look is on my face.
"What?"
Myria says "Your confused look is just too cute!"
"You two really did plan this, didn't you?!"
Myria says "Plot against you? Do you really think we would do something like that?!"
"Yes! Absolutely!"
Myria just laughs and then kisses me before she gets up to get dressed. Watching her get dressed is quite pleasant and it reminds me that I made some things for her. Once she is ready, I get up as well and let the chiefs know that I am leaving.
However, before we head to Illium, I open a gate to the castle and take Myria through. I introduce her to Jarvis and then give her a full tour of the castle, ending at my workshop. Once we are there, I take out all the things I crafted for her and then ask for her blood.

Myria says "My blood? What do you need my blood for?"
"In order to make all these items a set that only works for you. I did the same for Lin, I want the two of you to be equals. Also, they will help keep you safe so that I don't have to worry as much."
Myria says "I thank you for the presents, but you don't need to worry about us being equal. I already know that Lin was the one to open your heart first and I don't expect to be equal with her. I am fine with that, I don't care about position as long as I can be with you."
"Just because you are okay with it doesn't mean that I am. If I am going to be with both of you, I will do my best to treat you equally. I may not always succeed, but I will try. Also, I guess we should talk about what I am now."
Myria offers me her blood and says "What you are now?"
"Yes. You have seen my normal form. I am no longer a beastman, I am a beast now. The main reason that I bring it up is because I have a beast's instincts. I do my best to keep them in control, but I sometimes struggle."
Myria says "What are you worried about?"
"Mainly the instinct of ownership. You and Lin are now my mates, my instincts see you as mine."
Myria says "I have no problem with that."
"That's good, but there is still a problem. If my instincts are triggered, I will be insanely jealous. If I see a man touching you, I can't promise that it won't become a bloodbath."
Myria says "That won't be a problem, I am not interested in any other man but you. Wait, what about Lin and Bella? Isn't that going to cause problems?"
"No, because I don't see Bella as a threat. Wait, that's not the right way to say it. I don't see other women as a threat, they don't trigger my instincts."
Myria says "So, you are okay with what's going on between Lin and Bella?"
"Yes, I even encouraged it. I didn't want her to be alone when I am busy with other things. If Bella hadn't gotten involved, I would have been encouraging you to get into a similar relationship with her. I still think it would be a good idea, that way you can support each other after I am gone."
Myria says "I have no problem with that. Among the bunny tribe, men are for reproducing and women are for fun. After what happened to me, other than you, I don't ever want a man to touch me. Besides, Lin is really cute! You did good when you stole her!"
"I didn't really steal her, she used me to run away from a bad situation. Don't get me wrong, I am glad that she did and I am really glad that I met her. Not even counting the emotional stuff, she has been a great help to me along the way. I may not have made it back without her."
Myria says "I know, I have heard about most of it. I wish I could have gone with you instead of staying here."
"I'm not sure about that. I can see you trying to kill me for some of the stunts that I pulled while I was gone."
Myria says "I wouldn't actually kill you, but punishment would definitely be in order! The way you do things with no regard to your own life really pisses us off! But you already know that, don't you?"
"Yes, but I wouldn't be where I was if I didn't take risks. Most of the risks I have taken worked out really well. Anyway, the enchantments are done. You already know how the pouches work and you should know about the shapeshifting clothes. The choker allows you to shapeshift into a rabbit, just like you wanted. It can also shift if you don't like it as a choker. The new armor will also shift as needed to fit you perfectly. It can also move in and out of the pouch at will, so you don't have to deal with it."
Myria says "These are all amazing! Your skills are incredible!"
"Thank you. I've had a lot of time to practice. Oh, I made you new daggers as well. I didn't make a new bow since I wasn't sure what combat style you are using these days."
Myria says "It's fine. I actually haven't used a bow since the procedure. The daggers just feel better when I use them."
