Cover art for chapter 1 of "Dandelion: Weed of all trades" featuring the two protagonists. Both are wearing dark blue store clerk aprons with name tags and chequered collared shirts. The shorter person's tag says "Dande", her shirt is green and she has yellow bob hair with a tuft resembling a dandelion on top. She's grinning nervously while striking a peace sign. The taller person's tag says "Malin", her shirt is yellow and her hair is long and light brown, it's tied to pigtails with pink bows that resemble the nib of an ink pen. She's smiling and striking a confident pose, one arm on the hip, one behind her head. In front of Dande is a figure covered in flames, and in front of Malin is a purple girlish figure with a daffodil in her hair, holding a large paint brush. A large green figure looms in the background.

A dark scenery filled with large, partially cracked eggs with faces, leafless trees with branches curled into spirals, crooked mountains and a castle, and a path walked by tired looking people with balls and chains tied to one of their ankles. One person is nearing collapse and another is laying face down. A canine creature is chewing on bones. A close up panel shows a worn down couple carrying a baby. Their facial features are obscured outside of their eyes displaying sadness, and the baby is crying and seems to be losing teeth. The page ends on a panel showing the family noticing a bright light shine from behind them.

A comic page from Dandelion. Sylvi: "My suspicion has finally been confirmed: Dandelion...is crazier than all of us!!!" The page is evenly split in 4 large panels, close-ups of Sylvi's, Marjatta's and Louhi's faces, and Dande's grandma Aure seen from the back, looking behind her at the reader, holding a letter that says "Dandelion. Chapter 20, END" In the middle of everyone is Dande going "?" and awkwardly pointing at herself.

A comic page from Dandelion. Sylvi: "In the nine years I watched her...when I realized what Väki was smouldering in that mind...a SUSPICION was born... *shows Dande as a child, showing signs of her fire Väki while sitting inside the hollow of Siru's tree, as if harboring flames of rage* I wasn't sure... It was a risk...so I told no one... A suspicion...that if I left this girl unsupervised...SOMETHING would happen. But it was half-hearted...I couldn't force the burden on her...and I had other reasons not to go..." Sylvi takes off her hat, showing a hand that's full of scars, and walks towards Louhi. She continues: "I AM angry...at myself, for not going all in and preparing her...but...it paid off regardless...! Old hag, don't bother with your threats and demands. If you want a shot at my girl, you're going to have to descend from your nest personally. But you won't, because you know that the moment you try...the second tower will fall." Sylvi is right on Louhi's face, and stares her straight in the eyes. "But thankfully, that was a lie. You WON'T have to. SHE WILL COME FOR YOU!! My suspicion has finally been confirmed:" *page ends mid sentence*

A comic age from Dandelion. Sylvi: "We've all had 5th grade history, thank you very much. But no matter how long and hard a structure stands...it WILL crumble. If slowly, then surely. And sometimes it only takes one person to cause that critical crack. You both know what I'm saying, don't you? That's why we're all here, now. Aure was a crazy one, there's no doubt about that. But only crazy enough to match energy with the North. Not crazier than this country, that has kept believing in the order of today. And so, she didn't crack the structure. *shows Dande's grandma clashing with Ukko, shattering each other's drinking pints, with conflicted grins.* I should be angry... I'm sure my co-worker is giving her a stern talking to as we speak. *shows Varma looming over Dande* But...how could I be...? She really went and did it...!!!" Sylvi's calm demeanor is broken as her eyes widen with excitement.

A comic page from Dandelion. Louhi, now bursting into a wrathful scream, as a three-eyed bird head peeks out from under her hood: THE WORLD YOU WERE BORN INTO...IS TOO SMALL FOR YOU TO SURVIVE WITHOUT US!!!" Marjatta, Kohonen, Sylvi and mister Flutterbuck are look at Louhi in silence, as a better view of the world map on the wall behind them is revealed (though many parts are still covered). Most countries have large chunks missing, both from within and from the edges, as if partly swallowed by the seas. There are landmasses that don't exist in real life, such as a gigantic sword shaped island, an island housing what seems to be a giant egg, and of course the Northland above Finland, cosisting of five islands, four small ones and a larger one in the middle, with a sixts one above the main one and between the upper two small ones housing the World Tree, the top of which is cut off by the edge of the map.

A comic page from Dandelion. Sylvi: "Now, madam president. If I might be so bold, may I suggest...that you stop wasting your time playing diplomacy with this has-been already? Her days on the throne of this world are numbered, at last I am sure of that much." Louhi: "...Huh?" Marjatta: "I wish I was as free-spirited as you, Sylvia. But even if that is our future, what we must operate within is the now. That being said... Louhi...your behaviour is certainly more flagrant than before. As if you've simply stopped caring... Perhaps the time is nigh indeed...to reconsider the relationship between Finland and the Northland. You ought to know that I do not take insinuations of war lightly, and you have more than crossed that line in this one conversation." As Marjatta speaks, her smile doesn't fade, but becomes more toothy, her face starts to become shaded, and veins appear on her crossed hands. Louhi: "You brats... You think you have an ounce of leverage against me? Once upon a time you might've been able to rely on other alliances...but you are five hundred years too late...to challenge my authority...!!"

A comic page from Dandelion. Marjatta: "I'd be more worried if he DIDN'T react to such an entrance. Would you mind not provoking him? I would prefer my floor to stay bloodless. Kononen, glasses on." Kohonen doesn't respond, and simply starts approaching mister Flutterbuck again. Marjatta calls out to him again, with a different name: "Sisu." He stops in front of his glasses, picks them up, puts them back on and returns to his position next to the president, with his earlier deadpan expression, as Louhi side-eyes him. Sylvi: "Now, madam president." *page ends mid line*

A comic page from Dandelion. The attempted kick is swiftly countered by a slash from Flutterbuck's left claws. Kohonen falls back, and as he straightens his posture, blood spurts out from the slash on his shin (his left pant leg is also cut open), and his glasses fall to the floor.

A comic page from Dandelion. Mister Flutterbuck the lion prince walks into the room, with Sylvi riding on his back. Two pairs of boots are seen sideways on the floor behind them, they seemingly knocked out the two guards seen earlier. Sylvi: "Not that this place doesn't deserve to go up in flames, but...apologies for the door, madam president. Your guard dogs are too well trained. I would've waited for my turn, had I not heard some choice words...spoken about my dear employee. Perks of the agency include protection against old hags."

A comic page from Dandelion. The guard and housemaid Sandstorm mentioned have already been killed by him, skewered on top of each other on his wrist blade that looks way longer than what should fit inside his wrist protector. The housemaid has her arms over the guard's shoulders, as if to embrace him in death. Louhi, not looking remorseful in the slightest: "OOPSIE DAISY!! The boy is too eager! KOKOKOKOKOKO!!! We still need a third, in exchange for Aure's girl!" Sandstorm: "Hm, last night's supper was a tad too greasy for me..." Louhi: "Time to find a new chef, I say!! Shall we make a deal, Marjatta, my dear?!" Marjatta remains composed, but her eyes are starting to show anger. As Sandstorm and Louhi speak, Kohonen hears someone somewhere to his side go: "Hey, that's off-limits!!!"

A comic page from Dandelion. Louhi: "You're crying over TWO?! KOKOKO!! (her laugh) Death is daily life in the North!" She calls out to a man leaning on a wall behind her: "SANDSTORM!!! Have you anyone in mind we could offer as trade?!" The man called Sandstorm is wearing a helmet, shoulder pads, wrist protectors with short blades, leather pants, a belt with an S buckle, and has a long, double bladed staff on his back. He responds with a grin: "Hmm... One of the guards and a housemaid have been taking longer breaks recently... I suspect a workplace romance." Louhi: "That'll suffice, bring them here!" Marjatta: "Louhi...don't do anything foolish." Louhi: "Now, now, who do you think I am? Of course we will grant them a chance to explain!" Sandstorm: "Oh..." He has already returned, hanging something on a long blade that has come out of his right wrist protector. On the corner of the panel, a pair of boots and one more right behind them are seen, with blood dripping down them.

A comic page from Dandelion: "I see... Aure's grandchild lives... In that case...WE MAY AS WELL START SINGING THE SONG OF WAR!!!" On the other side of the fiery swan ring is the mistress of the North, Louhi "old hag" Ilmari. One of her eyes is sharp, and the other wide open. Her face is partly shaded by the veil on her head. She is missing several teeth. She continues: "Unless you'd rather PERSONALLY uproot the weeds on your own backyard!!" Marjatta: "Louhi... You banished Ukko from the Northland yourself. And are you sure that your little prince played no part in inciting him? Two of my countrymen lost their lives thanks to your clown show. You understand that I can't simply hand over a third, don't you?"

A comic page from Dandelion. One of the people talking, is the president of Finland: Marjatta Valo. She is a an older lady with a large pompadour. Next to her stands Kohonen, a lanky man with a deadpan expression, a thin twirly mustache, and a matching pompadour. On Marjatta's desk are a Finnish flag stand and some papers, where a glimpse of what appears to be a picture of Dande fighting Ukko can be seen. On the wall behind them a large world map can be partly seen. Marjatta, with a smile: "Why, that is why I am calling you, though. Don't you hear it? The birds are singing. They tell tales of the awakening...of your husbands killer. Across her desk is large, talonless swan, which torso is in the shape of a ring. From inside the ring, a large, hooded head with a long, hooked nose is peaking out, and responds: "...I believed that Ukko would take her with him...but...I see... Aure's grandchild lives... In that case..." *page ends mid sentence as the last panel zooms in on a large, round eye.

A comic page from Dandelion. Meanwhile, in "Haltia", Finland's peak. A giant elk's head and pelt crown a tower like building on top of a hill surrounded by more regular buildings. In the distance, small hills can be seen. Four giant Finnish flags are hanging from the elk's horns. There's a lightning shaped hole on the elk's head, and on its snout is a clock. A person with a flower hat is walking up the stars to the building, saying: "Makes me sick...every time I see it." Inside, people are talking inside a room guarded by soldiers with elk horns on their helmets. Above the door is a large portrait of a buff, shirtless man whose mustache and hair seem jagged like Ukko Ilmari's, but without the beard. Someone inside the room says: "This better be important, Marjatta... The swans of Tuoni aren't cell phones meant for your leisure. Moreover... I still suffer of heartbreak."

A comic page from Dandelion. Malin: "I CHALLENGE YOU...TO...A...DUEL!!!" Her declaration is accompanied by a pose that pops two of the buttons from her shirt, one hitting Emilia in the head, and the other caught by Masara, who thinks Malin is asserting dominance. Varma: "Well... I suppose that would do...if you don't tell Dandelion what I said. We can do it once she wakes up. However...I feel like you're gonna make it a death match... So in my place you're gonna have to fight against...Masara." Masara, thinking: "Great, overtime..." and out loud: "Roger, roger." Malin: "Coward!! I'll take anyone on!!!" Masara, thinking: "I might need some time myself..." Her leg is slightly shaking after the clash with Malin. In present, Malin is putting on something that seems like armor, and says: "Sorry for popping in right away. Hope you're ready...because I sure as hell am..." *page ends mid sentence*

A comic page from Dandelion. Turns out Malin tried to punch Varma from behind, but was stopped by a kick from Masara. Varma: "My bad. You won't tell, will you?" He didn't flinch at all from the attempted attack, nor is he turning to face Malin. Emilia is in the background, with her face shaded and some water flowing around her. Masara sends Malin sliding further away from Varma, who says: "Eloranta, keep your patient in bed. At least YOU'VE got a good head on your shoulders. For now. Watch it, you'll wet yourself." Emilia looks angry, and her head is now inside a flying swirl of water, from a fish tank next to her (the fish is in the water, confused). Emilia relaxes her expression and returns the water to the tank (the fish looks at her, annoyed), thinking: "Don't let him provoke you..." Malin: "Since we're already fighting, wouldn't that do for a test? *Emilia and Masara look surprised* You're right, I'm not good enough like this. But if you give me some time, I'll prove that I can at least look after myself!"

A comic page from Dandelion. A flashback to Varma telling Malin and Emilia about needing to test Malin. Varma: "Sorry, but I won't yield on this. If you think of something, let me know, otherwise I will arrange the tst, despite the extra work..." Emilia looks at Malin, thinking: "You DO have powers, but..." *Emilia recalls Malin saying: "Please...don't tell them!!!" Varma: "You're getting off easy. Truth be told, if I was in charge, the whole trip would probably be cancelled. That thing really bit the world's strongest old man in half, and has already gone berserk once in just a few days. And now that its favourite human's fate is uncertain...it may only be a matter of time before it turns on you again. So... *close up to Malin's eyes sharpening with her face covered in shadow* ...wouldn't it be safest for everyone, if we just put it down in its sleep?" Some kind of impact behind Varma shakes the window curtain's in front of him. Varma: "Mm.. I thought I might get away with that...when Dandelion isn't around."

A comic page from Dandelion. "Flaunting the flames that burned away the world's strongest man without a trace in front of my chief like that...you might as well be holding a gun to his head!!" A woman has appeared behind Dande, literally holding a gun to the back of her head. Malin: "M-Masa?!" She is Masara Halkomäki, formally introduced with Varma in chapter 2. Dande looks at the flame around her hand and suddenly seems shocked, thinking: "W-Wait, what am I...?! Shit...!!" She deactivates the flames, and Masara pulls her gun away. Malin: "Dande, it's okay!! I actually...agree with them...that I've yet to prove myself..." Dande looks at Malin, surprised. Malin: "That's why this was...MY idea!"

A comic page from Dandelion. Varma: "Risking your own life is fine, of course, but if the others have to then risk their lives for you, well, the problem is obvious. Dandelion...she will be used against you. Don't you know that the hero can't just keep the girl? I'm not heartless, though. I'll give her a chance to prove herself. And thought it was only fair to allow you to bear witness to it. So thanks to your nap, she's had ample time to prepare. If she passes, I'll leave you to your own devices. And if she fails...she will leave immediately, and all future recruitments will have to go through us first-" "Save it." Dande cuts Varma off right as he's finishing his sentence. Dande: "That's something you should've brought up with Sylvi a long time ago. Aren't you just taking out your frustration over me on Malin? And talk to her directly when she's here. If you wanna punish me, I don't mind at all. Unless... *Dande's hair and fists catch fire* ...you're really that scared...of a little weed." Malin looks shocked: "D-Dande...!" Suddenly Dande hears a clicking sound behind her, and someone speaks: "HEY, HEY!! Aren't you a letting the heat leak a little too easily?! Flaunting the flames that burned away the world's strongest man without a trace in front of my chief like that..." *page ends mid sentence*
