When the day came, tiny purple Pippa Unicorn was very nervous. She had never been to a dragon's cave before, and she was a little scared of dragons, witches, grandmother trees and blue unicorns. They were all so strong and they knew all kinds of magic, one of them might turn her into a flower or something gross like that. Purple unicorns hate flowers because they smell so awful.

But Pippa was also curious why the old dragon had asked her to come, and she was very proud, because she had impressed all the magicals at the summit and it was her idea to do this in the first place, so she ventured out of her family home and went to the mountain cave.

When she arrived, the others were already brewing the potion. She was told to come closer and have a look. In the cauldron she saw fog, snowflakes, raindrops, sunshine, wind, rainbow pieces, starlight, cloud fluff, hail and some other less easily defined substances. The potion smelled almost as disgusting as flowers, but Pippa found everything so exciting that she forgot both her fears and the odor.
