After Skylark returned with Kim and Panz in tow, the group got back together one last time at the camp. Hugs were given, and food was feasted upon; it was a celebration, through and through, though some staples were missing.27Please respect copyright.PENANAQc8vU7Jh5V
27Please respect copyright.PENANAteGOSzlquY
Victoria and Flinty were chatting. She tried to make conversation with Kenny earlier, but Kenny had politely asked her to let him rest. Ng was making small talk with Skylark, Panz was knocked out cold and tied up, and Kim was still unconscious. And Kenny was alone in the midst of it all. But Kenny had no qualms with it. Kenny was staring at the trees, deep in thought. He was reviewing the whole situation. The people he met, the things that were said, the events that transpired. It wasn't all pleasant, of course. In fact, hardly any of it was, but Kenny viscerally understood that what happened last night was only going to benefit him. Kenny stared at Kim's body, happy that it was temporarily comatose. It could've been much worse. He said his thanks to the higher beings and counted his blessings for Skylark's arrival.27Please respect copyright.PENANA2WLvjWM4Gr
27Please respect copyright.PENANAdOFWCzIvHo
Now that the situation has been handled, Kenny stood up and excused himself under the guise of using the restroom. Nobody thought anything of it, of course. Kenny already began forming an extensive explanation for his lie. He walked a good distance away from the camp, found a relatively open spot, and sat down.27Please respect copyright.PENANA8XDYxj6uEZ
27Please respect copyright.PENANAz7FGWlwKwW
"Now then, mana beasts."27Please respect copyright.PENANAa0UFmKBDYK
27Please respect copyright.PENANADp4ebjMlRJ
Kenny harkened back to his post-toddler years. It had been a long time since he's done something like this, sneaking away to mess with the world around him. It was strangely nostalgic.27Please respect copyright.PENANAfx560aA4qw
27Please respect copyright.PENANAOlN4PPEySN
Kenny shook his head. He didn't have infinite time, so it would be best if he hurried quickly.27Please respect copyright.PENANAAe4ilh5IHF
27Please respect copyright.PENANA4Sg48OTrGG
Kenny began performing mana expulsion with Intent to match the unique mana. He was immediately successful in creating something, but the product only horrified him.27Please respect copyright.PENANAHyhonxxlQR
27Please respect copyright.PENANAxtdtjK91qr
It was a bundle of flesh. It was dark gray and was barely larger than the nail on his pinky. He touched it and squeezed it, accidentally destroying it in the process.27Please respect copyright.PENANA3yHSuT8xu0
27Please respect copyright.PENANADfdXFQvjGk
"...Maybe I need to put out a little more."27Please respect copyright.PENANAzkUKFe6yo0
27Please respect copyright.PENANA2K95K49ki0
And he did just that. He was expecting to create something with some sentience, but instead, he just made an even larger blob of flesh. At the very least, it was in the shape of something he recognized– that being a flower, of course.27Please respect copyright.PENANAvhYIpgOf6K
27Please respect copyright.PENANAEBF1dXOkut
Though it was admittedly a stretch to say that. It was another failure, but he was used to such trial and error. He dispelled the blob of flesh much like he did with his earth spells. However, when he did, he felt something crawl into his body. Naturally, he immediately tried to pry it away, and the flesh plant reappeared before him.27Please respect copyright.PENANAVWD9HXavSe
27Please respect copyright.PENANAenkFQ1drSD
Kenny gazed at the blob intently. He started having second thoughts about this, but truly, he has done worse with his own body, so he decided to smush the blob and try again.27Please respect copyright.PENANAga4YKqM9Oz
27Please respect copyright.PENANA9oF5LqiwmT
Kenny quickly lost himself in the process of creation. He felt a little sick on the inside doing it. It's not like with plants, where all he did was expedite either the growth or the death of them. This was akin to playing God, he realized.27Please respect copyright.PENANA2PE8jIo9Nb
27Please respect copyright.PENANAQO6tTDNmt5
"..."27Please respect copyright.PENANAilIMPAaAAP
27Please respect copyright.PENANA7tpIhvWzbY
He couldn't say it didn't feel gratifying.27Please respect copyright.PENANAUAAnoisIYS
27Please respect copyright.PENANAHkMyNkWqc4
"I need to study this stuff more. Hmm..."27Please respect copyright.PENANAR8y0tLKEnF
27Please respect copyright.PENANAQwQLyg0WYh
Kenny's first idea was to transport some of the unique mana here back to his home. Of course, he could only utilize said mana once per container, but he'd rather do that than walk back and forth to this forest. Unfortunately for him, he had no item on hand that could properly store the mana. He made a mental note to purchase one later.27Please respect copyright.PENANARSCVWidx5U
27Please respect copyright.PENANAcdGbYV647W
But, before he got up and left, he figured he might as well try one more thing. Kenny knew that his approach had to change, lest he fall into a pit of insanity, so this time, Kenny did something he ordinarily would deem useless: he thought of what he was going to create when he expelled his mana. He wanted to make an animal, and preferably, something that didn't make him revolt upon glancing at it.27Please respect copyright.PENANAmnkFwi76mq
27Please respect copyright.PENANAmqM4AMh0uY
So of course, he created a small, cute puppy.27Please respect copyright.PENANADzZMwLOAJw
27Please respect copyright.PENANAJIaO1JaKDU
"H-Huh?"27Please respect copyright.PENANAZXUC1twsvj
27Please respect copyright.PENANA8DVa15jsMt
It wasn't so simple, though. It wasn't just an adorable puppy; it was an adorable puppy with the face of Dragon-Maw, and the horns of a bison.27Please respect copyright.PENANApEu5LSmMcm
27Please respect copyright.PENANA4fjs47Dobu
Kenny was deeply disturbed. He didn't even imagine the horns, and yet it appeared anyway.27Please respect copyright.PENANAGemrpDhwap
27Please respect copyright.PENANALVMUxu5Fo3
"...Intent is too honest."27Please respect copyright.PENANAyjGYqTgOLV
27Please respect copyright.PENANATh7eScdjUW
Kenny readied to slay the dog. It didn't seem any more sentient than the bundles of flesh he'd been creating, after all. But when he created a boulder with magic, he gazed at the puppy's face. And then he heard the thing sniff. It walked up to him and sat obediently as if it was waiting to be told what to do.27Please respect copyright.PENANARyDIBcmJqa
27Please respect copyright.PENANAVGHO0aawvy
Kenny was deeply, deeply disturbed.27Please respect copyright.PENANAPySRKWheB8
27Please respect copyright.PENANANV8kzBgR40
"Don't look at me like that," he said. The creature tilted his head, as he obviously had no eyes and couldn't follow his command. Kenny sighed and dispelled his boulder. He grabbed the dog and put it near a bush.27Please respect copyright.PENANAy7LNUaiyrg
27Please respect copyright.PENANAXH0O4i4Rd7
"Hide in there. Don't come out unless you get hungry, thirsty, need to dispel waste, or start feeling funny. Lastly, never, ever enter my life again."27Please respect copyright.PENANAUU2bdihdx1
27Please respect copyright.PENANAmbpeEsf8Ea
The puppy nodded. Kenny felt satisfied. He was ready to turn away until he saw the thing rip its own horn off and stick it in his chest. He fell to the ground and dissipated.27Please respect copyright.PENANAFLGeRVG8cu
27Please respect copyright.PENANAdFDWFUaADX
"..."27Please respect copyright.PENANAOjOsDx1iou
27Please respect copyright.PENANAsDIslb4Mx5
Kenny was deeply, deeply, deeply disturbed. But more so, he realized that the next time he practiced with this mana, he needed to make something that could understand nuance.27Please respect copyright.PENANAgSsIIhpIVS
