When I woke up, I was hugging Freya and apparently had tried to burrow into her fur while asleep. I sat up and rubbed my eyes. I then did my morning rituals. After me and Freya had breakfast, I once again gave the nicest cut of meat to Hestia. I made some salad this time as well. 

"Freya, I don't suppose you know where to get some cows for milk do you?"

Freya shook her head.

"Sigh, I would really like some milk. I could make so much, like butter... and cheese. Oh, how I want to try cheese! I will just have to be patient. I meant to ask Melianna about it, but I forgot with everything that happened." 

I can try one thing though! I walked out to the greenhouse. I greeted Luna and walked over to a space next to the other trees. I removed one of the peach tree saplings and replanted it in the next row. I planned to make this a fruit tree greenhouse anyway. Next, I planted an apple seed in the empty space by the other apple trees. I was thankful I hadn't used Nature magic to grow all the other fruit trees yet as I wanted to replant and rearrange this entire greenhouse.  Next, I used Nature magic to grow the apple tree. A regular apple tree, not a sacred one... I don't need Holy Vinegar or something. Surprisingly, I now had enough Mana to grow the tree all the way to maturity. I quickly harvested the apples and ran back to my kitchen. I got out some glass bottles and corks.

I got out a large wooden mixing bowl I had made. I want to Smith my own steel set later. I still need all kinds of things for my kitchen after all, but almost all of it needs steel. I place about thirty apples in the bowl and used creation to extract the juice. I stored the waste for my compost later. I then took my bowl of juice outside. I set it on my table out back and used Creation to turn the juice to high quality apple cider vinegar. I got out several more bottles and proceeded to make several different types of salad dressing. I mixed it with the vegetable oil I made previously and various herbs. Hmmm I need some olive trees and I need a new greenhouse. It needs to be at least thirty feet tall and three times the size of my current one.

"Well, that is for another day I suppose." I said as I stoppered my last bottles of dressing and vinegar. I also need to figure out enchanting. I really need magic items. I especially want some that produce heat...

I walked over to my smithy Freya at my heals.

"Okay since I don't have any magical metals my new sword will have to be plain steel. I guess that..."

I was interrupted by Freya's bark.  "What is it Freya? 

"Woof."

Tail wagging, she increased her size and motioned for me to climb on. I cautiously approached her. "You want me to get on? Where are going?"

She didn't wait to convince me and crawled between my legs lifting me up. She immediately ran off into the Southern Forest at a quick pace. I grabbed on tightly and she sped up to a much higher speed.

 I shrugged and held on tightly around her neck. Suddenly she was off like a bullet. I screamed and made a small wind barrier in front of me with magic so I wouldn't be blown away. We were going very fast. She was using Nature Magic to greatly boost her speed. After about twenty minutes and I don't know how many miles we arrived at a massive cave entrance.

I got off and tried to pretend I hadn't almost dyed her fur yellow because of the speed we were moving at. I glanced around us, the cave entrance was surrounded by a rich green moss, and there was a small creek flowing into a pond nearby. I glanced at the cave warily remembering my last cave diving experience.

Kanta must have remembered as well as my tattoo flared the bright orange of anxiety. I first cast Detection Magic into the cave. I could not detect any dangerous monsters nearby. I walked up to the cave entrance and cast a light spere to light it up. I warily approached the cave entrance until Freya was there pushing me into the cave.

"W-wait a minute Freya! I'm going already, don't push me!"

She pushed me hurriedly into the cave and I saw something shining on the wall. I held up my light and made it float up to the ceiling to light the whole cave. I looked at the glinting vein on the wall and used analyze. 

Mithril ore: A rare ore only found in areas of concentrated Mana, known to be great with the conduction of magic power. Also known as Elfen Silver, this ore is highly sought after for weapons, armor, and magic tools. Known for its light weight and perfect Mana Conductivity, it is often alloyed with other metals to improve their quality. 

"Holy shit, it's the damn fantasy metal! and a whole vein of it if I see it right." I immediately got out my pickaxe. I then started busting up the wall and removing the ore. I was doing that for five whole minutes until I once again slapped my hand to my head due to my stupidity. I then focused Earth Magic to my hand. I imagined all the plain stone in the wall turning to sand but leaving the ore. I touched my finger to the wall. I focused and saturated an entire section of the wall until my magic had spread deeply within.

I then activated my spell and sure enough there was a loud clattering as a large section of the wall turned to sand and the lumps of ore fell to the ground. "Well, this will go a lot faster now, sorry pickaxe...Maybe I can remake you with Mithril and figure out enchanting."

I turned to look at Freya, but she had retreated to the cave entrance. I guess she didn't want to get sand in her freshly cleaned fur. Slowly working my way deeper into the cave, I continued to mine more and more Mithril with my earth Magic.

I had been at it for about 5 hours, and Freya had been sitting there at the entrance looking bored. I then decided to call it a day and gathered everything into my inventory. "Let's go home, Freya." 

I went to climb on her back again, but she dodged me. She glared at me and barked imperiously. I rolled my eyes and cast clean on myself. Freya then looked me over like a butler judging the cleanliness of a mantle. She then, after checking me thoroughly, nodded her head and allowed me to climb on. We flew through the forest, weaving through the trees like magic. She somehow managed to remain clean the whole way home. I am impressed, I don't think I could do the same.

We arrived home again in a very short time, and I immediately ran upstairs and added the mine and its surrounding landscape to my map. I then ran back into my forge bursting with excitement. I used Creation to forge the ingots. I had to stop and eat one of my apples of amazingness halfway through the ore though.

"Looks like I was right before, the stronger the material the harder it is to effect it with magic." I slowly stacked them on a separate shelf next to my Tamahagane and carbon steel ingots as I worked, taking breaks as needed. The new Mithril ingots were a beautiful cool white color, and they were light. almost as if it were an illusion. They felt like they were made of cotton instead of metal, but they were still harder than the steel I had.

By the time I had finished turning all the ore into ingots it had gotten late. I smiled and jumped around in joy because I was so happy. I had about five tons of pure Mithril ingots, and I couldn't wait to get started. After I finished my happy dance, I called Freya and hugged her. Thank you so much Freya! You don't know how much this means to me. She just licked my cheek in response. "Oh, I wanted to try one last test. I grabbed an ingot of steel and one of Mithril. I then used Creation to perfectly mix the two metals together, making sure it was blended as well as it could be. When I was done It looked like chrome. It was a shiny silver color. By the time I was done I was panting from the exertion. That must have taken a lot of my magic. Analyze.

Magi-steel ingot. A special alloy made from the combination of Steel and Mithril. Mainly used by artisans to make enchanted equipment and tools.

I smiled widely. I will definitely figure out enchanting later. Hopefully tomorrow but I want to prepare some different fruit trees and harvest them before winter. I am almost out of time. The nights are already cold, and I feel the snow will begin in less than two weeks. I warmed my hands with my breath as I made my way through the dark towards home. After we went inside. I went ahead and started a fire in the fireplace. I had been piling on more blankets, but it was now cold enough to justify it.

I removed the pelts from a few bears and most of the rabbits I had hunted since first coming to the forest. I used creation and combined them together to make a thick fluffy rug even softer than Freya's fur. It was like a shag carpet ate another shag carpet. I made it large enough for two of Freya and so dense it actually took a moment to sink into it when you aid down on it. I placed the new large comfy rug in front of the fireplace in the living room. I then went to call Freya to try it out but when I looked up, she was already on the rug. I raised my eyebrow at her, and she turned her head to the side like she didn't know anything. I rolled my eyes at her for the second time today. "I made it for you in the first place. The sass is strong with this one. I laughed and gave her a scratch and walked into the kitchen and made us dinner. 

I made a salad to try my new salad dressing. I also made Freya a giant plate of meat and added some of the orc to my salad as well. After thinking about it I made a small plate of the best ingredients from both of us and walked back into the Den. I fed Freya and looked at the plate. Should I just dump this in the fire? I shrugged and dumped the entire plate of salad into the flames, plate and all.

"Great Goddess Hestia, please accept this humble offering. I felt bad just sending you orc meat all the time, so I thought you might like some variety...  Ummm, please help keep us warm and safe throughout the winter. Amen?" 

Well, it all disappeared so she must have liked it. I really like the smell she leaves behind after the offering. I will have to make more small ceramic plates like that one..." I grabbed the blanket and a pillow from my room and went back downstairs. I curled up beside Freya and snuggled into her side. "Goodnight Freya, thanks again for today. Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to figure out how to make a heat based magic item for little Luna's greenhouse. I held up my hand above me and summoned a small ball of Sacred Flame.  It radiated strong feelings of peace, and safety. But as usual I can't feel any heat. If only it could get warm, it burns forever unless I will it to go out. So, it would be perfect for warming the house and lighting my forge.

"Can't you get hot already please". I was very shocked when the Flame turned White and flared with heat. It was so hot I instinctively threw it into the fireplace. The fire already lit in the fireplace turned completely white as well and flared with warmth. All the wood and even the ashes immediately disintegrated to nothing, leaving only the merrily dancing white flames. The amount of heat they produced spread out and to my shock seemed to somehow fill the whole house. That shouldn't be possible right? I got up and walked upstairs. It was just as warm even though I hadn't lit a fire up here yet... Huh, I will have to keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't melt the wall or something, but this seems fantastic! I ran back downstairs and flopped happily back onto the rug. "Well thanks for heating the whole house Sacred Fire, please don't make any Nymphs in the bricks of the fireplace. Goodnight Kanta and Freya. I snuggled into Freya once again and almost immediately fell asleep.

The next morning, I woke up feeling great. The Flames in the fireplace seemed to keep the house at the perfect temperature. While the flames on the table emitted the usual feeling of safety, warmth, and peace. I got up and did my morning rituals. Freya enjoyed breakfast as usual.

I slapped my cheeks in preparation and walked outside to my greenhouse. The first thing I did was to rotate out all the crops other than my fruit trees. I spread the compost I had left and rotated it into the soil with earth magic. I then replanted my fruit trees, spreading them out a little more and planting the seeds from some new ones. All of that only took me about an hour thanks to magic.

I nodded and walked to the center where all of my citrus type trees were planted. I walked up to an orange tree and used my nature Magic to grow it to maturity. I then harvested all the delicious oranges. I next stopped by my smithy and got out some sand. I used it to make a beautiful glass pitcher and some drinking glasses. I took the extra time to make them look nice. I then got out a bunch of oranges and used creation to extract the fruit juice. I filled up my pitcher and added some ice. After it was cool, I poured myself a glass and sipped it.

"Ahhhh, it's so nice to drink something other than water or tea."

  "I will grow the rest of the fruit trees later now that I have treated myself." I still need to finish healing the forest of all the trees I harmed in the past as well. hmm, not much time left before the never-ending snow starts. Top priority right now, I need a way to keep Luna warm. "I next walked back to my smithy after storing the pitcher of precious orange juice for later. 

I cast my new white Sacred Flame in the forge, the Smithy immediately warmed up. I wonder if the flame can get hot enough to work metal. I then quickly cast a light sphere to light the room and walked to my workbench. I grabbed an ingot of Mithril and used Creation to turn it into a perfect sphere. I held it in my hand, still feeling amazed at how lightweight it is. 

"Magic is all about intent, focus, and magic power. So, even if I figure out how to imbue it with an effect, I will need to power the item constantly, unless I have a way to store power, or have it use the Mana from the environment. But how would I do that? Maybe I need to use a gem, or some other type of Magic Crystals.

"Freya do you know of any stones that contain magic? I need something that contains or stores Mana."

Freya nodded and ran out the door and towards the forest. Well, I guess she is going to get me an example. I looked back towards my sphere of Mithril. Still, I need to see if it's even possible to imbue an item with an effect. I started by pushing my raw Mana into the sphere, my goal was to saturate the material completely. Once it couldn't contain any more, I tried to imprint my intent on the object. Nothing happened though... The mana just slowly leaked from the object. I next tried converting the mana of the sphere to Light Magic. It worked, but it didn't really change anything. The Mana was still flowing back out of the object. It was shining, as was my goal, but the light was draining at the same speed as one of the light spells I already use. 

I walked over to a small chest that contains the various gemstone I have found while mining. I grabbed a piece of quartz and a small diamond. I then used Material Manipulation to divide the sphere into two smaller spheres. I the embedded the diamond in the center of one sphere and the quarts in the center of the other. I then repeated the previous experiment to see if it made a difference. It did! The spere with the quartz could now hold twice the amount of Mana, and the sphere with the Diamond could hold ten times the initial amount. So, I can use gems to increase the overall amount of Mana an object can hold! 

Well, I guess it will make a light shine for longer before I have to recast the spell. It's not really what I was going for though. I tried several other things. I tried bringing the gems to the surface, putting multiple gems on one sphere, and even trying to create an alloy by blending the quartz crystal with the Mithril. Nothing changed though. I was at my wits end when Freya barked. I ran out of the house excitedly only to see a large Freya carrying a dead orc in her mouth. 

She walked up to me and dropped the orc at my feet. "Freya, I thought you had gone to get me what I asked about, but you were just hungry? Sigh..."

She barked and looked offended. She put her paw on the orcs chest and used a wind blade to cut it open. She the used nature magic to make and control a vine and pulled out its heart. She then used magic to slice its heart in half. She then dug around with her vine and pulled out a tiny lump the size of a bean. Lastly, she used water magic and cleaned it off. The vines holding it stretched over and presented it to me... 

After I got over my amazement at her fluid and fine control of multiple branches of magic in conjunction with each other. It was damn impressive okay! I grabbed the tiny sparkling gem. Analyze.

F Grade Mana Stone. 

What the heck! It was in its heart! How does that even work? Wouldn't that interfere with the blood pumping process? Do all monsters have a Mana Core? Wait a minute... if every monster has one... I dropped to my knees in despair. Just how many have I buried in the ground since I have lived here? What a waste! 

Kanta sang to cheer me up feeling my distress.

"Sigh, I will just have to save them all from now on." I walked back inside my smithy and stared at the Mana Core. I then inserted it into the sphere with the diamond. "Go big or go home." I decided to go all out and used Creation Magic to try and enchant the sphere with anything. Hopefully the ability to produce heat or water. It glowed brightly for about thirty seconds then flared strongly. I felt a lot of my mana suddenly getting sucked into the sphere. As the light died down, I looked at the sphere and frowned. "There are strange letters carved into the surface of the sphere!" λάμψη... I can't read it at all.

"Analyze."

I quickly checked my status and sure enough it was there, Enchanting Lvl 1. I sat down on the ground feeling immense amounts of relief. "I was really worried I couldn't get it to work..."

I was too relieved to even celebrate my success, feeling as if a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders. Hopefully I would be able to make myself some decent armor now. And a sword of course. I wanted to make an item to heat the greenhouse but... I glanced towards my forge that held the white Sacred Flames. These instantly seem to heat the interior structure of whatever they are in. Unlike the gold tipped flames, these flames burn and destroy in addition to providing magical warmth that instantly heats the entire building to a perfect temperature. Maybe I should use these to heat the greenhouse instead. I will just have to keep checking the surrounding plants... Not that I am unhappy about little Luna, but I am too young and immature to carelessly bring life into the world.

Deciding to do just that I grabbed some of my firebricks from where they still sat, stacked high in a corner. I grabbed about twenty of them. I then walked to my greenhouse. I walked to the center of the back of the greenhouse where I had not yet planted any new trees. I then placed all the bricks and used Creation Magic to shape them into a fire pillar. I cast a small ball of my new flames in the new hearth after filling it with white sand. Just like before, the entire greenhouse was now a nice warm temperature. I went and sat at the base of little Lunas tree. I got out the sphere I successfully enchanted earlier. "Now how do I use this?"

I sat and thought for a bit. I'll just call it a glow sphere for now. I tried inserting my MP, but I could feel it was just being sucked inside to charge the sphere. I used Analyze to observe and sure enough the total contained MP was increasing. I activated my Mana vision, and I could see the core where all the mana was gathered. My mana was flowing from my hand and being sucked into the core. I also could not see the diamond anymore, like it had been merged with the mana stone into the new core of the magic item. I stopped pouring my mana inside needlessly. I then traced my finger over the strange characters that had been engraved into the surface of the sphere. 

"So, whatever this language is, it seems to determine the enchantment. I had tried to make magic items in the past, but something was always missing. Was it just the Mana Stone I needed?"

I said illumination out loud since it was the name of the enchantment. Nothing changed. "I wonder if I have to fully charge it with mana first... It still had a lot of room for more. I started to pour my mana again when the sphere suddenly blazed with light. It was so bright I dropped it in shock. It didn't go out when I dropped it and shined brightly while on the ground. Thinking about why it activated this time I realized I had been touching the carved word this time when I supplied the Mana. I touched the letters again and supplied another small burst of mana. The sphere instantly extinguished. Excited I jumped to my feet and ran back to my forge. I got out some wood and used the cellulose I extracted to make a book. It was blank but I excitedly got out a pen I had made before for drawing my map. 

I carefully copied the characters to my book on the first page which I had just created. It was a thick book with a leather binding. I had even used a bit of Mithril to guild the edge of the pages and the title. 

§ Enchantments §

• λάμψη - illumination

I next grabbed the other sphere I had made. I was about to begin when I realized I didn't have another Mana Stone. I ran out of my smithy planning to head to the forest to hunt some more orcs but when I ran outside there was a pile of ten orcs waiting for me. Freya was approaching with an eleventh orc dangling from her mouth. After she dropped it, I hugged her and praised her profusely. I quickly removed all the Mana stones from the hearts and processed the bodies for the meat. It never hurts to have more meat since it won't spoil. I then ran back to my workbench in the smithy integrated the mana stone and etched the same characters into the surface of the second sphere. As soon as I finished carving the last character and supplied it with magic the sphere flashed white. When I analyzed it once again, it was the same as before, but the overall mana capacity had dropped to 2,000. 

"So, the diamond obviously increased the mana capacity a lot more than the quartz."  Next, I should make one without a gemstone and just use a Mana stone alone. I quickly did so, and it was the same with a Mana capacity of 1,000. I documented all my findings in my new book. This is great but I was not going for illumination when I used Creation to enchant it. So, was it just randomized? Or did the shape of the object influence it... 

I next used Creation to make a small dagger with Magi-steel. I should be smithing everything by hand, but I was anxious to learn more. I have so much I need to try. After I made my new magi-steel dagger I integrated a Mana stone into the handle. I then used Creation just like before trying to enchant it. After pouring more and more mana the dagger flashed white just as before and had a different word carved into the base of the blade. κόβω.

"Analyze."

I next used Creation to make what looked like a Mithril water faucet. "If the shape of the item matters, then this should also work." I also used Creation to merge the Mana Stone into the Mithril itself. I again used Creation to enchant the object. I then had to take a break, using Creation on Mithril is really too demanding... After my Mana recovered some, I analyzed the completed Faucet. It too had a new word carved into its surface. Νερό...

By the end of the day, I had discovered several new enchantments. My first page of my new book now listed six enchantments.

§ Enchantments §

• λάμψη - Illumination
• κόβω - Sharpness
• Νερό - Water Creation
• Άνεση - Comfort
• Θερμοκρασία -Temperature Control
• Αναπνεύστε μαγεία - Mana Absorption

I was happiest about the last one which showed up randomly on the third glow sphere I made. I wanted to make a few more lights and water faucets for my house. This time the glow sphere had two different enchantments. After checking, my enchanting skill had already leveled up to level four after my numerous tests.

This was wonderful as the light could absorb mana from the environment, which means I don't have to charge it all the time! I decided to call it a day and eat something as I skipped lunch. I first went to the forest where I had cut down all the trees and used up the last of my Mana growing a tree. I had made progress with this project and about half the trees had been regrown completely to their previous size.  Focusing my Empathy I could feel the forest giving off a feeling of gratitude. "Sorry trees, the snow will start soon, I might not be able to get here until spring. I promise I will restore you all to your former glory in time.

 The next day I walked back to my greenhouse. It was still the perfect temperature. I checked all the plants and didn't detect any abnormalities. I sighed in relief when I realized I wouldn't start spring with a building full of Nymphs. I walked towards Lunas tree and sat down by her. I spent some time talking to her, telling her about my discoveries.

"Well, I have to go Luna. I have many things to do. I will come visit you even during the winter. I know you probably won't notice, but in my past life they said even coma patients could hear you, so I figure you will know I am here or sense me or something..."

"Let's go Kanta." I excitedly walked back to my Smithy. 

I walked inside and picked up the gloves I had enchanted yesterday. They had the Comfort enchantment. I tried them on again and they were still very comfortable. It wasn't just softness though. It was almost like they gave off a super weak feeling of comfort. Like just wearing them is enough to make you smile.

I got out my new book to document my observations. Some enchantments just seem to become a passive part of the object. Not even requiring Mana from the user. Comfort is of this type. The ones that produce or create an active effect need internal mana reserves or a constant application of mana to be used. Light and water production are of this type. I picked up the scarf I had made and enchanted. I had combined the Mana Stone with the fibers using creation magic. It felt a little stiffer than it had been before. 

The Mana stone fabric is a little stiffer and less comfortable than before, but if I can add on the Comfort enchantment it should counteract this effect nicely.  On the clothing, the word of power or whatever you would call it, is stitched into the surface of the fabric. I will have to practice my sewing skills this winter. I will enchant all of my clothes and blankets. And Freya's rug of course. But first I will need a lot more Mana stones. I had tried to enchant an object without it, but it just doesn't work... Somehow the Mana stone acts like a binding for the written word of power and the object. I don't really understand how or why, but it works. 

"Freya I'm going to hunt. We don't have much time left. The wind has picked up, and it already had that cutting winter bite. The storms are approaching, tomorrow or the next day." I thought I would have more time...

They most likely won't relent until spring. Sigh... maybe I can learn magic eventually to control the weather. I was walking towards the eastern forest when I stopped. I glanced at a particular spot. It was the spot I had buried all those Dire wolves. I wonder if I dug them back up if I could find their Mana Stones. They were of a higher grade as well. I used earth magic to unearth the bodies. They were mostly bones by now. Mostly... I used magic to sift through the remains until I spotted one. After about twenty minutes of the grossest work I have ever engaged in, I had found twenty E grade Mana Stones! There were a few missing but I counted it as a win. These were a whole grade higher than the orc cores. I will have to use them for something special.

Me and Freya spent the rest of the day racing through the forest, harvesting as many orcs as possible. We were on a time crunch, so we went full speed. By the time the sun was setting we had managed to hunt over two hundred orcs.  Since I could tell when it was an orc in my domain I raced for the orcs and avoided anything else, not wanting to risk any strange encounters. We arrived back home safe and sound, and I wanted to work a bit more before sleeping. So, I made us a quick dinner and returned to my forge. I grabbed my blacksmith hammer and grabbed a Magi-steel ingot.  

I walked to my forge which was still shining with the bright white of my Sacred Flames. I carefully lifted the ingot with a pair of tongs and placed it in the flames. The ingot and the tongs that touched the flames instantly disintegrated...Well... That is unfortunate.

I activated one of my glow spheres that I had made previously for better light and removed my flames from the forge. I then got out some wood and made a barrel with Creation Magic, I then filled it with coal from my storage. It was already pure anthracite, the best type of coal used for metallurgy. I had improved the quality previously in preparation for today.  I lit the coal with my fire Magic and waited for it to get hot. I first added chips, then larger and larger pieces as it got hotter. Finally after about an hour of working my bellows and adding more and more coal my forge was glowing brightly.

I grabbed another ingot of Magi-steel with another pair of tongs and placed it in the forge. I then grabbed my hammer and placed it by my anvil in preparation. As I worked the bellows, I went through the process that I found from Alex's memories. After the ingot was glowing red hot, I pulled it from the forge and placed it on the anvil. I began hammering flipping it back and forth, making sure to fold the metal into itself, trying to remove the impurities. Unfortunately, this was a waste of time. Since the metal had been made with Creation Magic, it apparently had little to no impurities already. So, I reheated the metal and focused on shaping the blade. I was making a chef's knife, and as I hammered the blacksmith skill seemed to give me instinctual knowledge on how hard to hit, where to strike, and how to best shape the blade. 

After another thirty minutes I had the blades basic shape and began refining the edge. I even used my material manipulation skill here to compress the edge of the blade even more. After I thought it was satisfactory, I walked over and quenched the blade in a cask of water I had already prepared. Once it was cooled, I placed it in the forge and reheated the blade to about four hundred degrees. I then placed it in a separate firebrick chamber I had made and bricked it up. I now had to let the blade cool back to room temperature in order to balance the hardness and flexibility.

While waiting I decided to try something else. I got out a cotton filled pillow I had in my storage and some thread. I used Creation to evenly distribute an orcs mana stone with the entire pillow, and to etch the word for the Comfort Enchantment into the surface with the thread. When I was done, I had a white pillow with  Άνεση  stitched in large letters in the surface. I used analyze and it successfully had the comfort enchantment. I slipped it into a pillowcase and giggled to myself.

I decided to go to bed and let the blade cool down overnight. I conveniently placed the entire forge into my storage fire and all. Since the time was frozen inside, I could take it back out the next time I make something and have the fire and heat already prepared instantly. I walked through the door that connected to my house after locking the doors. I walked in the Den and found Freya already passed out on her rug. I snuck past her and up the stairs, which fortunately for me didn't make any noise as I tiptoed up them. I got out my enchanted pillow and placed it on my bed. I changed into my pajamas and jumped into the bed. The new pillow seemed like sleeping on a happy and joyous cloud. I sighed in satisfaction and wished Kanta goodnight. Kanta started singing her song in response and I was soon asleep.
