V - 5
Chapter V - Manna, Magic, & Ribbons
Not to be confused with the infamous Chapter 5,
Chapter V explains why earlier editions of Minotaur Tails are prized by
Gnomes the world round. Or to put it another way, Chapter 5 was
previously too long, so I chopped it down to size, and then because
that made the chapter too short, I decided to add this here bonus
chapter to fluff the word count back up to where it had been before,
explain what I’d taken out, and offer to sell the missing information
for gobs and gobs of gold should the reader so desire (i.e. if the
reader should happen to be a Gnome).
Chapter 5 - Mr. Thwartbridge the Junior, a.k.a. Mr. Thwartbridge
Like most girls her age, Ruby is learning
algebra. Unlike most girls her age, Ruby gets to bring Grt -- her
pet drag-goon -- to algebra class with her. It’s one of the many
perks of being Consort, don’t you know. Oh, and if you still
think this chapter is long and boring (even after all the revisions
that have gotten the Gnomes so riled), it’s simply because learning
algebra is an inherently long and boring endeavor. It just
is. Facts be facts. I mean, Ruby certainly thinks so, which
is why towards the end of it all, she casts a spell on her eyelids, so
she can close them and watch TV. Too bad the only reception she
can get is for the local news.
