Chapter 197 Gifts PT:2

After having finished making the high quality red rose pendant. Daedalus decided that it would probably be a good idea to make similar items for Reginn and Richard. So with that in mind Daedalus began to draw up possible ideas and designs.

Eventually Daedalus came to the design of what he wanted to give Reginn. To start Daedalus walked over to his material storage unit. He had installed this unit not all that long ago, this was because he didn't want to have to deal with finding everything in his spatial ring.

Walking out Daedalus could be seen carrying a small lump of ebony as well as a few sheets of several fabrics. With the materials in hand Daedalus made his way back towards the woodworking table. Quickly Daedalus set the fabrics to the side and placed the small lump of ebony onto the table.

After placing the ebony on the table Daedalus quickly grabbed a few tools, including a small saw and several knives as well as several pieces of sand paper.

With the tools ready Daedalus began to cut off specific edges from the small lump of ebony using the small saw until it took on an octagonal shape. Then with the sand paper Daedalus smoothed the edges slightly and began on the face of the octagon. Before long Daedalus held in his hand a small octagonal piece of ebony.

With the shape completed Daedalus then grabbed one of the smaller and sharper knives and began to slowly and carefully carve rectangular holes into to opposite sides of theoctagon. As he did this he would occasionally change to a slightly larger knife and make the hole wider. By the time he was done Daedalus was quite pleased and began working on the next and decidedly most important part.

With practised ease Daedalus grabbed a small chisel from a rack to the side of the wood working table. Then he began to slowly carve into the octagon, as he did this he began to target the lines that he carved with a mixture of all types of energy he possessed. These where runes, Daedalus was slowly adding runes of protection in an attempt to create a powerful defensive enchantment like what was on Rose's gift.

With everything prepared Daedalus then worked for the next few hours on the runes. It was only when Andromeda came in that he took a moment to relax. As he did Daedalus realised that he was actually incredibly tired.

After a while Daedalus explained what he was doing and said how he needed to get back to work to which Andromeda agreed on the condition that she be allowed to stay and watch. Daedalus of course agreed and immediately got back to work, luckily he was already almost done with the runes. So he quickly got them finished and placed a small Heartwater essence crystal into the center.

Wth the main part done Daedalus quickly fashioned a belt and sewed it in place. One of the materials he used happened to be able to stretch so this meant that it could be worn easily. As he was now finished Daedalus smiled and turned to find that Andromeda had fallen asleep.
