Luckily, I am fairly sure she will forgive me and I will be able to make everything up to her. Although, I have to admit that making it up to her is probably going to be a lot of fun. Those kinds of thoughts seem disloyal to Lin, but she is aware of the plan.

In fact, she was the one who came up with the plan, but I should still talk to her about it later. We should probably discuss if there is going to be some kind of schedule and I need to know if a threesome is on the table. That is something I have never done before, not even in my old life, but I certainly fantasized about it often enough.

Just the thought of having Lin and Myria together starts getting me excited. However, it is far too soon to be thinking about that and I struggle to put the thought from my mind. It is not easy to do, but I manage by turning and watching the kids playing.

Of course, it is only temporary, now that I've had the thought it will come back to haunt me. At least it will until I discuss it with Lin and see what she thinks about it. I almost slip back into those thoughts, but just then Lin and Myria come out of the house.

Lin says "Alright, I have memorized all of them. It will take me a while to make them though. Which one should I make first?"

"The school girl outfit, please."

Lin says "Alright."

Myria says "Ash, wipe that grin off your face! You pervert!"

"Do you even know what that means?"

Myria says "Yes, Lin taught me!"

Lin laughs and says "Don't worry, she is just teasing you. She already made me promise to make her one of the maid outfits."

Myria says "You weren't supposed to tell him that!"

"Did you explain everything to her? Or just enough to get me in trouble?"

Lin says "You will just have to wait and see. Although, making the outfits would be faster if you taught me that trick of yours to merge materials together. Save me some stitching."

"Sure, that's easy. You just insert your mana into the materials and then fuse them together. The trick is you have to understand how the material works. For instance, with cloth you need to know how the material is made. Specifically, you need to understand how the threads that make up the cloth are laid out and fuse the ends from the two pieces together."

Lin says "I understand. What you said makes sense, but I've never looked at cloth that way. I will have to try it out."

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

"I have no doubt that you will be able to figure it out."

Lin says "What about leather? Is it the same?"

"Yes. In fact, it is even easier to work with. You just have to keep in mind that it used to be part of a living creature."

Lin says "Okay. I will need you to make me some buttons as well as all the metal bits."

"That's not a problem."

Myria says "That look on his face tells me he is all too eager to make whatever you need."

Lin says "I hate to admit it, but I am also somewhat excited to try some things out. You are too, don't lie."

Myria says "Of course I'm excited, but you weren't supposed to tell Ash!"

At that point all I can do is laugh, Myria said that with such a straight face. Lin also starts laughing, making Myria blush and run off to join the kids and Brightfire. Lin and I talk for a while longer, then we shapeshift and join the kids to play for a while.

Once everyone is worn out I end the soulscape and head upstairs with Lin. However, before I forget I ask her to take out the jewelry that she doesn't like. Once she does that I ask her what she doesn't like about the pieces she hands me.

Lin says "Mostly they are too bulky and not very attractive. It is more like they were made to use as much gold and as many jewels as possible."

"They probably were. They were made to show off wealth, not to highlight the beauty of the wearer."

Lin says "That's why I was going to let you use them as materials."

"No need for that. I can rework them into something more light and delicate. I can even make a few more pieces with the extra material."

Lin says "In that case, can I request something?"

"Of course! What do you want?"

Lin says "I like my collar, but if I am going to wear it all the time I would like to make some changes."

"Sure, no problem. Just tell me what you want it to look like and what enchantments you want."

Lin says "I will leave the enchantments to you, but I want it to hug my neck. I don't know why, but having it tighter feels more comfortable. Also, can you make it a bit prettier?"

"Actually, I can make it into a normal necklace if you want. I only made them as collars because I was copying what the goddesses made. Now that I know the enchantments they can be anything."

Lin says "No, I still want it to be a collar. Although, if any of the elves that were slaves ask for one, it would be better to make them a necklace. They don't really look like slave collars, but they still might have issues."

"Yeah, I will keep that in mind. Knowing that, you still want a fancy choker right?"

Lin says "Is that what you call a collar that is skin tight?"

"Yes."

Lin says "Then yes, that is what I want."

"Okay. I have several ideas I want to try with it, but it can wait until the morning."

Lin laughs as I sweep her up into my arms and kiss her as I carry her towards the bed. In the morning, I wake up before Lin and gather the collar and materials before heading downstairs. The kids are still sleeping, but they will probably wake up soon enough.

I lay out the materials on the table and then I shrink down, but this time I push it further. The enchantment is meant to shrink me down to a specific size, but I push extra mana into it. It works, but it takes a lot more mana than I was expecting and I can't shrink to smaller than a few inches tall.

However, that is enough for what I wanted to try so it is acceptable for now. I will see about improving the enchantment later, I have a choker to make right now. From my conversations with Lin I have come up with a number of ideas I want to try out.

My goal is to make a true artifact without using any divine energy to do so. It is going to require the choker to contain a massive amount of magic. First I remove all the jewels and look through them, the best of them is a thumb sized emerald.
