Episode 24: The Unity Tree

--- Page 01

PAF !nowhitespace
You want a Unity Tree?
We are Witches of Chaos; we DO NOT do this.
You'd better focus on studying your “Spells of Destruction”!
Destruction?
At this time of year?
Why not learn spells of creation instead?
The next council of The Three Moons is approaching and so are your exams. Learn! Learn! LEARN!!! AND STOP DISTRACTING YOURSELF WITH THESE FOOLISH IDEAS!!!
Here?!?
NO!

A winter without a Unity Tree?!
Why don't I make my own tree from scratch with magic?!
Hey! I might even combine Hippiah and Chaosah magic together for the first time!
A big green tree, lit by stars and mini solar systems!
Aww! It would be perfect!
And it would be
creative!
But there's no way I can do this type of magic here...
...my godmothers would immediately notice if I'm not studying my “Spells of Destruction”.

Ffff
Never!
Grrrrr...!!!

Unless...
I think I remember...
Yes! In the chapter on “Spells of Destruction”, Thyme recommends trying them in a micro-dimension. But look at all these warnings:
Let's get to work!
Did Pepper just create a micro-dimension?
SCHwoomp! !nowhitespace
Good!
“ DO NOT bring the results back, for safety reasons.”
“ DO NOT spend all your Rea in the creation of the micro-dimension.”
“ DO NOT expect any assistance from outside of the micro-dimension...
Naturally.
Here it is!
Pff... Obvious!
Mm...
...no one can see what you are doing ! ”
I hope she understood all of those warnings I wrote in that chapter about “Spells of Destruction”.
That's perfect!
No one?
Really!?

So cool!
It's like a container, with only the part of the library that I need. And it's totally isolated from our own reality.
It's the perfect sandbox for testing spells.
Time to focus on my masterpiece!
ShiiING
PLOooom! !nowhitespace
Dhoooff! !nowhitespace
Chting! !nowhitespace
Heh. Uh, nope.
Ewww!
Yes! It looks good, but it's too small...
CARROT! DON'T TOUCH IT!

Plooom! !nowhitespace
I don't see any harm in bringing this tree out of this micro-dimension.
There! Re-sized it. Now it looks perfect!
Alright,
it's time to deploy this micro-dimension into reality and show them how creative The Chaos can be!
DOooong! !nowhitespace
Mmm... Pepper is back.
Bravo, Cayenne. Your educational methods are finally giving us results.
Thank you, headmistress.
I can't wait to see the look on their faces!
The KOMONAN
It's just a Unity Tree; It's not like it's a “Spell of Destruction”.

CARROT!
I'll be back in a few minutes with Thyme, Cayenne and Cumin.
Don't do anything with that tree until I get back, OK?
OK, I'll be back soon!
Prepare to be amazed and astounded! You've never seen anything quite like this.
Please follow me upstairs to see...
Shroof!!
