Once upon a time, in a small village nestled deep within a dense forest, there lived a mysterious witch. The villagers had heard tales of her incredible powers and her ability to perform extraordinary magic. They spoke in hushed whispers about her, afraid of her dark and enigmatic presence. One day, a young girl named Lily, who possessed a curious and adventurous spirit, decided to venture into the heart of the forest to find the witch. She had grown tired of the dullness of village life and longed for something more exciting. Armed with nothing but her determination and a sense of wonder, Lily embarked on her journey.
Armed with nothing but her determination and a sense of wonder, Lily embarked on her journey. As Lily ventured deeper into the forest, the trees became taller and more twisted, their branches reaching out like bony fingers. The air grew thick with an eerie silence, broken only by the rustling of leaves under her feet.
Little Witch Academia – 15[Chariot of Fire]
Shiny Chariot rides once again and I think that’s where most of the animation went besides the showcase at the end of the episode. Wise choice though as it shows that Ursula hasn’t dulled much in her later years. She still seems intent on keeping her identity secret from Akko though this may be because finding Chariot is her main driving force at the moment. We at least are getting some idea of Chariots past as it seems she and Akko are a lot more similar than first thought. Akko and Diana seem to mirror the relationship of Ursula and Croix in their youth. However it would be a strange twist of fate if Akko ended up under Croix’s wing while Diana and Ursula teamed up. Diana has started to look into Ursula so she could very well figure out her true identity.
I feel that Akko’s nativity is getting to be a bit much as her trust of Croix is so much that even when walking up to her lair she doesn’t seem to register how ominous it is. Though Ursula is at fault as well seeing as she doesn’t seem to be making an effort to warn Akko of Croix’s intentions. I don’t really understand why she covered for her when Akko woke up as letting Akko know of the danger Croix possesses would be a very good idea. Though what is Croix after exactly? Others besides Ursula to harbor doubts over her changes to magic and with good reason. Amanda makes a point that with her innovations magic has essentially been supplanted with Science, making it indistinguishable. It does feel like with the technological upgrades it’s getting that something more personal has been lost. However another reason to be concerned is that this direction for magic is heavily dependant on Croix. In fact she pretty much holds full control of magic power distribution with this system and she seems like just the kind of person to take full advantage of that. Those routers may allow magic to be used off grounds but who’s to say she didn’t place a backdoor in them to allow her to shut them down whenever it’s convenient for her. It’s getting to the point that when she makes her move, nobody would be able to do anything about it. For everyone would depend on her inventions at that point and she would have them by the balls.
Kudo’s to the commenter on the last post who correctly guessed the involvement of Yggdrasil as Ursula points out the tree as being the source of magic power. I originally wrote it off as I thought it was strange to involve Norse mythology when so far it’s been mostly Celtic(Though we did have a dragon named Fafnir so it’s not the first time it’s popped up.) but if Wikipedia is trustworthy then mentions of a world tree are in Celtic folklore as well though that tree was unnamed. The final bit of exposition that Ursula gave at the end of the episode was impressive animation wise but admittedly only really served to inform us of what we already know. It clued in Akko to what she needs to do and the main new information to be gleaned from it is that the seven words unlock some sort of reality warping magic and the bit about Yggdrasil. In that regard I feel like unsealing the words can only really lead to trouble as Croix could swoop in to take the magic once Akko has done her job.

She could feel the weight of the witch's presence guiding her, leading her to her destination. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Lily arrived at a clearing with a small, crooked cottage. It looked as if it had been there for centuries, enveloped in a shroud of mystery and enchantment. The door creaked open as if beckoning her inside. As she entered, Lily was greeted by a spectacle of potions, herbs, and mystical artifacts strewn about the room. The air was heavy with the scent of ancient wisdom and untamed magic. And there, in the center of the room, stood the witch, her eyes sparkling with a mix of power and intrigue. The witch, whose name was Morgana, had a weathered face, lined with wisdom and experience. She wore a long, flowing robe adorned with symbols and runes, each holding a story of their own. She spoke in a soft, yet commanding voice, inviting Lily to sit and listen. And so, Lily sat, mesmerized by Morgana's words as she spoke of her incredible journey through the realm of magic. She revealed the secrets of her craft, teaching Lily about spells, potions, and the delicate balance of light and darkness. Morgana's visual storytelling transported Lily to a world unlike any she had ever known. Days turned into weeks, and Lily became Morgana's apprentice, learning under her watchful eye. She discovered the power within herself, cultivating her own abilities and tapping into the magic that had always existed within her. Together, they embarked on adventures that spanned worlds, encountering fantastical creatures and facing unimaginable challenges. But as time went on, Lily began to realize that her destiny lay beyond the forest. She had grown and learned all she could from Morgana. With a heavy heart, she bid her farewell, promising to carry the lessons and memories with her wherever she went. As Lily ventured back to the village, she carried the legacy of the witch's visual story within her. The villagers could see the transformation in her eyes and the aura of magic that surrounded her. She became the storyteller, passing on the knowledge she had gained, inspiring others to embrace their own magic and explore the infinite possibilities that lay within. And so, the visual story of the witch lived on, transcending time and spreading its enchantment throughout generations. It became a reminder that magic exists in the world, not only in the realms of fantasy but also within the depths of our own souls..
