: Pepper&Carrot Episode 24 [en] 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! --- Page 02 Sl a m !nowhitespace 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”. tap Ffff Never! Grrrrr...!!! --- Page 03 Shrr ShiiING The KOMONAN 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!? --- Page 04 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! ? --- Page 05 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”. --- Page 06 BRRrrr BRRr BRRrrr BRRrrr BRRrrr BRrr ? !! BRRr BRRrrrr !! 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!! --- Page 07 - FIN - Shroooof!! CRASH! !!nowhitespace Fooom! !!nowhitespace ?!!
