Hello again, got the "being sick" part of the winter done hahaaahh, I'm a little bit late.
This update has a couple of spells, translations and little notes for those under read more. See you in a month again I guess, thanks for reading!
Bond with alder - spell
The red leaf of alder
The slender finger of alder
Strong is the power in your bark
The anger of the woods in your curves
I sing you the song of fae,
of milk hay's, of soil's child
of May's child, of the spell maker
of the bringer of golden spring
Give me a day, the time of one leaf
The hazy time of the sun.
Golden red from your treetop,
one bend from your annual rings.
A moment from inside your roots
A moment from the deep waters.
Notes:
Alder is known as "fae tree" in old beliefs, it has an innate connection to the väki of the woods. I was initially going to let Varpu call themselves "voikukka" (dandelion) here, but they might reserve it only for their favourite trees :) So there's a couple of older words for the same flower (mayflower and milkhay were some among many, many others. Dandelion was closely linked to agriculture and for cows especially, the finnish current name voikukka still literally means "butter flower".
Situational bond-breaking spell
Human flame, son of Ukko
Leave us, this circle.
For you the sunny morning,
For us, the eternal evening.
Notes:
Flame is a nod to the three-faceted soul thing, I've probably mentioned when bonding spells were last in the comic. It's a placeholder for löyly, which could've worked also, but I think I used fire imaginary in the original spell haha. Ukko is an ancient rain god, later renamed as a thunder god, but his reign and relationship to humans has been a bit different for other nordic-baltic sky gods. Here's it's just another nod for humans being Of Sky while fae is Of Soil.

Floral Phantom
+
Because of his fight with Undergrowth, Danny abosorbed his plant powers, like he did with Votex.
But Undergrowth had no problem with Danny having them, not like Vortex.
+
So.
Danny has plant powers, just like Dani, who did learn it from Danny.
Dani once again destabilized, and Danny had the perfect idea how to help her!
++++
Danny visited an Arkham cell for a problem.
Danny:" So, Dr. Pamela Isley. I would like to have your DNA."
Poison Ivy was angry:" What!"
Danny opened his hand, and out of his hand, a plant started to sprout from it. As Ivy saw that, she looked at the boy and waited for what he wanted to say.
Danny:" I need your DNA to stabilize a girl who has genetic problems."
Pamela:" Genetic Problems?"
Danny:"Well, Clone problems, and I think your DNA would help her. So are you okay with it?"
Pamela:" Sure."
Danny smiled and took her into the portal.
++
Undergrowth Realm.
That was how Ivy was taken to this prehistoric place, just plants and all of them speak to her. Many extinct plants too, like the Cooksonia.
And it was massive! Bigger then she thought possible.
There she meet that massive Plant god, and the tiny girl in the tube. The boy left as he shows her the place, he has to go back being a hero.

Happy Birthday!
To me :^)
Well, technically tomorrow 2 June, but I somehow finished this today.
I thought I'd have finished the Krang infection comic by now so I could have a happy birthday ending, but we're not there yet.
I uh never draw backgrounds or like to colour, but I love fully coloured pieces and well here we are. Trying my best to create something out of my comfort zone.
As a bday gift to myself I'm going to watch the new spiderverse tomorrow evening!
