Looks like I'm to first one to submit something for this contest :-) (really didn't expect that). But this image entered my head and just wouldn't leave again... So here it is :-D (WARNING: This includes elements from LSK V6-8, so be warned ;-) ) {The Undead Tourgroup - Hallween Edition} As for how this image fits Halloween: well I believe that Grisia the Demon King + Pink the Undying Lich + Roland the Death Monarch are already pretty halloweeny... And the story behind this image is that Pink learned about Halloween and decided that she wanted to go Trick or Treating. And dragged Grisia along. Who actually isn't displeased, as Trick or Treat means free sweets after all! (And as long as he's the Demon King, nobody will recognize him as Sun Knight anyway... probably). And since Roland would be more hindrance than help for trick or treat (being the serious person he is), he got roped into cleaning Pink's house... again. Which led to Grisia being torn between throwing a tantrum because the Death Monarch is wearing an apron and actually really lookin forward to doing Trick or Treat. And Pink is sitting on a giant pumpkin, because I really wanted to draw that. (And I admit that I also really wanted to draw the Death Monarch wearing an apron...) So this is the Halloween Edition of the Undead Tour Group :-D

A comic strip featuring a poor vampire butler's Halloween! Ah Ye has been watching too much anime recently... Characters cosplayed by Ah Ye: 1) Ryuk from Death Note 2) Ichimaru Gin from Bleach 3) Death the Kid from Soul Eater 4) Momo from Shinigami no Ballad 5) Elsie from The World God Only Knows (NOOOOO Manglobe WHYYY) 6) Sun Knight from LSK 7) Dictator of Life from 1/2 Prince 8) Liola from Kill No More 9) Ri Xiang Yan from No Hero Also starring: Meatbun from 1/2 Prince (realistic version) p.s. Charles's expressions are based on Ah Ye's point of view. Hence, his expressions were exaggerated in this comic because no one else can spot a 0.05 mm narrowing of his eyes.

Here's my submission! Unfortunately, I couldn't fit everyone into the picture...I would have liked to though... Just in case you can't figure it out (I'm not sure if I could if I didn't draw it)... Charles = Vampire (>_>) Ah Ye = Angel (^ ^) Shuyu = Elsa Junjun = Pikachu Dage = Nurse Grisia = Devil Lesus = Bunny Liola = Alien Baolilong = Spaceship Prince (male) = Girl Gui = Ghost Mila = ...Sunflower? I didn't really give Mila an outfit Gong Hua = ...Flower? Lol I'm not sure Jiang Ziya = Himself. - __ - Lin Jian Yin = a sword Meng = pumpkin head Ohmygod = Meatbun Meatbun = Ohmygod
Oh boy, the more characters there are in a picture, the lazier I get and my pictures become sloppier. Attachments:

I really didn't know what to do for this contest, but the first thing that comes into my mind when I think of Halloween is pumpkin. And thanks to Yu Wo's influence, pumpkin then became pumpkin pie. Then I thought about how I would make the pie, and I've made blueberry pies before in a cupcake tray so I thought I would do the same. Then I thought of how there are 12 cups in the cupcake tray...which means 12 pies...12 knights...12 Holy Knights. Thus the Twelve Holy Pies were born. Hope you enjoy looking at them. (Sorry but I can't send food over the internet) {The Twelve Holy Pies} Here are the Twelve Holy Pies all together. Each one is a different flavour that represents their respective Knight-Captains. Guess who. Of course Sun is first. Blueberry Pumpkin Pie, do you even need to ask why? Has as much blue food dye as the blue hair dye Storm uses to dye his hair each time. Sorry Storm. Even your pie has flakes of almond paperwork for you to do. Just as hot as Blaze is (temperature-wise). The red you see are actual chilli flakes. Thank you Sun for Leaf's nickname. There is strawberry jam in the pie and a strawberry on top. Sweet, just like him. He looks decent on the outside, but take one bite and you will discover what he is truly like inside...liquorice. (I apologise for all those who happen to like liquorice. I happen to think it is incredibly disgusting. Hence why it is in Earth's pie) Light and spongy like the Clouds, the marshmallows floating on top are perfect for him. White like the Cloud, pink like his hair. I just happen to hold the Judgement that Judgement likes dark chocolate. Plus it is dark, like his expression most of the time, but is truly nice (to taste). The traditional pumpkin pie full of pumpkiny goodness, topped with a dollop of Ice cream and a light drizzle of maple syrup. The perfect dessert. ...Do you really want the truth? Sigh...I actually just had no idea what to do for Moon so I just used some Oreos that I had in my kitchen. Then scraped off some cream on one half so it would look like a Moon...But hey, he is pretty tall now... The sharpness of the Metal Knight's tongue can be felt on your tongue when you take a bite of the Metal Pie. But some sweetness lingers since even though he is trying to insult you with his popping candy...poisonous words, it still tastes kind of sweet...(cough "sparkly and pretty") The nut most like Stone is of course the macadamia nut. A tough nut to crack, but on the inside, he is incredibly easy-going (on the palette). Stone actually turned out to be the best looking pie. Take that how you will. The darkest, blackest and most aromatic (what?) thing that I could find was sesame. At least it sort of looks like Hell...

Hello, I'm pretty much a newbie to Yu Wo's works here... Just discovered them a few weeks ago and finished LSK,1/2 Prince and No Hero. Well, noticing this halloween contest (thank goodness I'm not too late), I decided to join in. Basically the idea is Halloween-->candy-->Grisia-->good at magic-->witch/wizard costume. Basically it's Grisia cosplaying as a wizard surrounded by candies in the background. I used ink to draw it.

The story behind the picture:No Trick-Or-Treater A swift figure is seen on a cold moonlit night. With hair so white and part machine punishing villains he smites.
The little girl he just saved stands her smile growing bigger. She placed a candy in his hands. A warm feeling triggers.
Her figure disappears as she skipped home, the pink plastic fairy wings bent. On the sidewalk he stands alone thinking it was a night well spent.
Note: The blood isn't his! I don't want a certain older brother sending assassins to my door. *sweats nervously*

Hello, This is my submission. It's a written work. I really enjoyed reading Yu Wo and PR's work. I am nowhere near as talented as either, but I hope at the very least, those of you who also like LSK will get some enjoyment from reading this. When I was thinking about Halloween and LSK, I couldn't help but think that Halloween probably didn't exist there given how much the Kingdom of Forgotten Sound hated the undead. The more I thought of it, the more it made me think, if it does exist there, it had to be because of Grisia. Therefore, I decided to write a story about how Halloween was Grisia's brainchild and the role that the twelve holy knights would have in it. I've also attached it in pdf in case I screw up on the formatting here.
I pushed open the conference room doors, and like always, I spout some nonsense praising the God of Light.
“To be able to share this morning basking in the light that is the benevolence of the God of Light with my holy knight brothers is a joy as vast as the ocean.”
“It’s good that you came, even if the meeting is almost over and there’s almost no point to coming,” said Metal.
Hey! Is there really a need for you to practice your poisonous tongue here?
“No, this is perfect,” Storm said as he glanced up from the dozens or so documents he had in front of him. “Gathering followers is your responsibility.”
Everyone looked to me as I asked, “Is there something that my fellow brothers are asking me to do?”
“The Pope has ordered that as a part of the harvest festivities, the holy temple is to open the temple grounds to the public and use this opportunity to gather more followers,” said Judgement. The ever-permanent deep crease between his brows was present along with an overly-serious frown that didn’t seem to be warranted given the order.
Organizing an event like this should be a small matter that any of the holy knight captains can do. If not, I can always turn over the handling of such events to Adair.
I gave him a puzzled look.
“Any money used for the festivities will be deducted from your salary.”
That damn old man! I really should have stayed the Demon King!
I sat and fumed while I thought. Then it came to me as I started to laugh coldly.
“I know that laugh!” said Earth as he rubbed his hands together eagerly. “Sun will definitely find a way to make money out of this!”
I ignored his heartfelt praise as I said, “Here’s what we will do…”
******
The day of the festival arrived. Immediately after opening the doors, I was responsible for giving an opening speech to welcome the citizens.
“The God of Light’s benevolence which has illuminated the land for the past year has blessed us with an abundant harvest. We, who are the children of the God of Light, must mirror his benevolence in sharing our blessings with others as we open our hearts to the God of Light’s teachings. Those who are able to open their hearts to the God of Light will in return receive his benevolence. For those who are unable to open their hearts to the teachings of the God of Light, the God of Light will still forgive your sins and comfort you when your hearts are filled with fear. By the God of Light’s will, we celebrate those who we have lost as we bring you portrayals of the God of Light’s miracles throughout the temple grounds.”
Looking down at the faces of the crowd I could tell that most did not understand what I said.
Behind me I heard someone whisper to Storm, “What did he say?”
Storm replied back, “Those who give offerings will be treated and those who don’t will be tricked.”
Well at least someone got the message.
With that I waved to the crowd with my signature Sun Knight smile and headed to my room to change into a disguise.
You didn’t think I could go off to enjoy- I mean see how the festivities were going as the actual Sun Knight did you? I would be forced to speak long winded greetings praising the God of Light to every citizen and would never get a moment to enjoy- I mean observe the proceedings.
On my way back to my the room, I passed by the kitchens. The air was filled with a warm spice smell that I was unfamiliar with. Intrigued, I poked my head in to see Ice in an apron busily going back and forth in the kitchen.
I used my sensing ability to make sure no one else was around so I wouldn’t have to spout more non-sense about the God of Light just to ask, “What’s that smell?”
“It’s pumpkin pies.”
“Pumpkins? Why use pumpkins? Wouldn’t blueberries be better?”
“These are the pies which are being sold in pieces to the public. You ordered me to use whatever was the cheapest and available in abundance.” Ice must have noted the disappointment in my expression. Expressionlessly, he simply pointed and said, “I’m busy so I only had time to make one.”
I looked where he pointed to see a single blueberry pie.
Oh Ice, you really know the way into my heart. If only you were a woman I would definitely marry you!
I scooped up the pie happily in my arms and gave him the sincerest smile I had used all day as I said, “Thanks!”
******
I was halfway through eating the pie in my room when a knock came at the door.
“May I ask which brother has come forth to discuss the God of Light’s benevolence with Sun?”
“It’s Elaro.”
“Oh, just come in then.” As he shut the door, I said, “Want some pie?”
Elaro still never refused food. He took a piece of pie as he said, “I brought what you asked for.”
I took the bag from him and dumped the contents on the bed. They were the robes of a cleric.
“I asked for a costume!”
“This is a costume. You are a holy knight. These are the robes of a cleric.”
Someone finally acknowledges me as a holy knight over a cleric… but I still feel pissed off!
“Half of the holy temple is going around dressed as the undead. Why do I have to dress like a cleric?”
“Because...everyone knows the Sun Knight loathes the undead!”
F***! Fine I will wear the robes of a cleric!
******
Having donned the robes of a cleric, I dispelled the holy light around my head and covered the lower half of my face with a veil.
If the Pope can go around wearing veils why can’t I?
Like this it would be unlikely that anyone would recognize me as the Sun Knight.
I expanded my sensing ability all over the courtyard. Stone and Earth were responsible for greeting newcomers and explaining the festivities. I noticed that Earth was particularly focused on greeting women with shapely figures. In a corner, Leaf and other members of his platoon were teaching children how to scrap out the insides of pumpkins and carve faces into the empty shell. Storm and Earth’s platoons were busy selling Ice’s pies and different types of apples covered in caramel and nuts. Cloud and the other members of his platoon were sneaking about the courtyard posing as spirits to give members of the public a little scare. Blaze and his platoon were chasing away the “spirits,” while Adair and my Sun Knight Platoon were smoothing over any ruffled feathers as part of the festivities portrayals of the protection from the God of Light.
I had noticed a long line of people waiting to go into the Judge’s Complex. We had moved all interrogations scheduled for the day and made it so that people could visit the Judge Complex. The “cruel, cold-hearted” faction knights were all inside coordinating guests through various scenes.
Roland’s platoon members were in charge of managing the crowd around the Judge’s Complex. I saw Roland’s Vice Captain at the front of the line and approached him directly, “Tyre!”
“Knight-Captain Su-”
“Shhh!” I cut off his question and yanked him to the side. “Tyre, get me inside. I want to see how things are going.”
Tyler sighed helplessly and escorted me past the line and into the Judge’s Complex as he said, “My name is Tyler, sir.”
******
Inside the Judge’s complex were various groups of holy knights performing different little skits. In one scene, Metal was dressed up as a criminal being interrogated by Moon. That bastard actually looked like he was enjoying himself rather than a criminal being tortured! I used psychic magic to send him a message.
Metal your acting skills suck. Try to at least look the part of a criminal!
His eyes widened for a moment and glanced around until he noticed me. Moon noticed where he was looking and mouthed the words “180 centimeters tall beauty.”
Beauty my ass! F*** I am man! Moreover I’m your Sun Knight!
I lowered the veil around my face for a moment.
Stop gawking and get back to work!
With that Moon and Metal resumed their roles properly. I was so mad I left in a hurry and almost crashed into Roland and Judgement. The two had just finished portraying the battle between the Sun Knight and the Demon King in the main interrogation hall.
“Grisia, is it really ok to walk around like this?” Roland said. He was in his Death Monarch form.
“Of course! There is no one else who would make a more impressive Demon King than you. The crowd will just think it is a costume and the Hell Knight is already known as a master of disguise.”
He sighed and looked at Judgement with envy. Judgement was wearing my Sun Knight armor with his hair and face completely covered by a golden helmet.
Hey, don’t tell me you actually wanted to play the role of the Sun Knight? If I let you do that and you actually ascended to heaven, who would help Storm with all the paperwork?
The pile of work generated for the festival's activities alone was high enough to make Storm want to exact revenge on me. If I didn’t give him the rest of the day off to sleep, I’m sure I would end up in bandages and unable to move.
“The crowd seems to be really enjoying our sword fights,” said Judgement as he lifted the faceplate to speak with me.
“Of course. It’s not every day that they get to see two master swordsmen fight. Even the other holy knights gather whenever you and Roland want to practice swordsmanship.”
“It feels weird to actually be on the receiving end of cheers,” Judgement said with an extremely ugly smile.
“Lesus, I think it’s better if you keep the faceplate on.”
******
I spent the rest of the day making sure everything had gone smoothly. The “Harvest Party” was extremely successful. The amount of offerings we had gathered far exceeded the costs and the public was very pleased with all the activities.
However, after being outside all day, I needed to do a full body mask to ensure I maintain my fair complexion. I had just finished applying the full body mask when-
BANG! The door to my room had been kicked in.
Damn I forgot the curse!
I blasted both the door and the person who kicked it against the wall as I washed my expensive body mask off.
“Chikus Blaze! It has really been too long since I-”
“Sun! The Pope took our profits!” he said interrupting me.
“What?! Fix my door! I’m going to go see the Pope!”
I quickly got ready while Blaze was still in the middle of fixing my door. As I walked out, I stopped to whisper, “I haven’t forgotten that you dared to kick my door again. Prepare yourself.”
******
Using my sensing ability, I barged straight into the Pope’s study and shut the door.
“Old man what do you think you’re doing with my money?” I demanded.
“The funds are being used to cover costs during the crusade. Do you want me to dock the salaries of all the holy knights instead?”
“You-”
“Relax. Your event was so successful, you should just do it every year. If you pay back all the money used, I’ll let you keep the profits.”
I was still mentally calculating when he said, “But Harvest Party is a mouthful. You should just call it Halloween.”
******Epilogue
Thus is the history of another legacy of the thirty-eighth generation Sun Knight.

“Roland, tonight, at dusk, you must definitely come meet me at this fountain, ok? Promise me?”
Grisia’s words repeated over and over in the twelve year old Roland’s mind as he sat on the fountain’s edge, waiting for his friend. It had long past dusk but Grisia was not there. Still, Roland knew it was not strange for Grisia to be late, though he only hoped that he hadn’t forgotten their agreement altogether.
As time passed, Roland continued to remember his conversation with Grisia earlier that day. At first, Roland had refused to meet with Grisia because he wanted to practice swordplay.
“Swordplay? You can do that anytime. Listen Roland, tonight I am going to go investigate a veeery serious matter and you know how weak I am so I need you for protection. If you don’t come, what if I get hurt? That’s why promise me you will come…”
To this, Roland really couldn’t say no, just like all those other things Grisia had pressured him into doing, like buying blueberry pies for him, beating up dogs and bullies…For some reason, Grisia was extremely talented at getting people to do his bidding.
Before Grisia had left Roland, he added on something else. “When you come tonight, make sure you wear black, suspicious-looking clothes. Like a cloak for example! For sneaking, of course.”
Then, Grisia had run off, leaving Roland to ponder to himself why he needed to wear suspicious-looking clothes for sneaking. But, he was sure Grisia knew what he was doing.
Roland was too lost in his thoughts to realise that someone was approaching him from behind. When he finally realised, he spun around only to immediately recognize that head of long golden hair that seemed to sparkle even though it was already night time.
“Grisia, you - !”
Grisia, you’re late, he wanted to say. However, Roland immediately noticed that his friend’s movements were sluggish. Grisia didn’t run up to Roland and flash his usual brilliant smile as he always had. Instead, his head was lowered, shoulders drooping. It looked as though he was limping, and Roland could make out patches of red on his clothes...
“Grisia, what’s wrong? Are you injured?” In a panic, Roland dashed over to help support Grisia. He could not help but notice how pale he looked, but then again, Grisia had always had rather pale skin...
“R-Roland, I...” Grisia murmured, his voice weak.
“D-Don’t speak!” Roland gripped Grisia’s shoulders tightly. He began to whip his head around, searching frantically for a sign of what to do.
So Grisia really went off to investigate? Why didn’t he wait for me then? I could have protected him...
“Roland...”
“I told you, don’t speak! I-I’ll get help...”
“Roland, you know you’re really gullible, don’t you?”
Hearing Grisia’s voice suddenly sound extremely articulate, as though he wasn’t injured as all, Roland froze before swivelling his head to look at Grisia.
“You!” Half-relieved, half-mad, Roland watched as Grisia shook off his hand and proceeded to stand perfectly upright without difficulty. Finally, Grisia flashed his usual smile, as radiant as the sun, reassuring Roland that he was not injured in the slightest.
“You tricked me.” Roland said blankly, too drained to find the energy to be angry.
“I tricked you!” Grisia agreed triumphantly. “Aren’t my acting skills great?”
Roland could only nod. He was used to these kinds of tricks from Grisia.
“Now, let’s go!” Grisia exclaimed. “Put this on.”
In one swift movement, leaving Roland with no time to protest, Grisia placed a white paper mask over Roland’s face.
“There,” said Grisia, admiring his handiwork. “Now you just need to put on the hood of your cloak and you’ll look just like a grim reaper.
“...Grisia, what is this? Don’t tell me we’re still going investigating?”
“Of course not. Don’t you know what day it is? It’s Halloween! The day where children get candy for free! I only told you we were investigating because if I told you we were going trick or treating, you wouldn’t want to come!” Grisia chuckled gleefully.
Once again, Roland had fallen victim to Grisia’s scheming. With a sigh, he gave in.
“Ok. And I suppose you’re a knight then?”
It was true. For his costume, Grisia was wearing his usual tunic and pants but had fashioned it with bits of aluminium foil to make it look like a knight’s armour. He even carried his practice sword with him.
“Was it really necessary to add the fake blood?”
“Well, it’s more realistic this way,” Grisia explained. “It makes it look like I’ve just returned from slaying a dragon or rescuing a princess.”
Although Roland nodded, he secretly still thought that in truth, Grisia had really only put the blood so he could trick him.
“Anyways, let’s go!”
With that, Grisia dragged Roland along with him and they went to the first house.
Rap! Rap!
Within seconds, the door opened to reveal a tall boy with brown hair and a handsome, rather honest and sincere-looking face.
“Trick or treat!” Grisia sang happily, extending the sack he’d brought for storing his sweets.
“Trick or treat,” Roland repeated monotonously.
The boy’s gaze swept the two of them and settled on Grisia. For a few seconds, he simply stared, his eyes darting from Grisia’s golden, silky hair, to his azure eyes that were just like tiny pieces of the sky and finally his warm, innocent smile. The boy’s eyes slowly widened and his mouth dropped open as though he could believe that such a beauty existed.
“You’re looking extremely pretty in your costume, miss,” the boy said shyly. “One moment, I’ll just get some candy for you...”
Grisia’s smile quickly turned into a frown.
“Miss? I’m a guy,” he clarified shortly.
The boy stopped, as though paralysed and he stiffly turned to take another look at Grisia. This time, his sight was not blinded by Grisia’s flawless face but instead fell upon his knight costume and the patches of blood on his tunic that were totally unlady-like. It was the boy’s turn to frown and his face did not look quite as honest or sincere anymore.
“Shoot! You totally look like a girl!” The boy gave a scowl. This made Grisia even angrier.
“Are you blind? I’m wearing a knight’s costume! How could you mistake me for a girl?”
“Shut up! It’s because you look like such a sissy.”
“Hmph.” Grisia was fuming.
“Fine, I don’t care anymore.” He thrust his sack in front of the boy’s nose. “Candy,” he ordered.
“I don’t have any,” the boy said brusquely.
“What! But you just said...”
“I just remembered I ran out, ok?” the boy repeated, his temper rising.
“Georgo, what’s going on?”
At this point, a woman appeared at the doorway and peered down at her two visitors. With an undoubtable resemblance with the tall boy, Grisia deduced immediately that this was his mother and so his innocent, childish smile returned to his face.
“Trick or treat!” he exclaimed. “Ma’am, you look very lovely this evening!”
Hearing this Georgo stared at Grisia and looked as though he were about to spit blood.
So this little fellow also has his own fake personality!
“Ooh, aren’t you a darling? What are you doing, Georgo? Hurry up and give these two dears some candy.”
“But I’m saving them for when some pretty girls come along...”
“What was that?”
“Nothing...”
Cursing under his breath, Georgo left only to return after a few moments holding a bowl filled with an assortment of lollies.
“Where are your parents?” Georgo’s mother asked as her son placed a few chocolates wrapped in colourful foils into both Grisia and Roland’s sacks.
Grisia quickly feigned a grieved look. There were even a few tears in his eyes.
“Orphans...” he replied softly.
“Oh, you poor things! Georgo, give them some more!”
“Ehhhhhhh?”
Under the piercing glare of his mother, Georgo hurriedly placed another half a dozen chocolates into their sacks...
After the great success of their first house visit (Grisia pretended that being mistaken for a girl never happened), both Grisia and Roland proceeded along the rows of houses and steadily collected a vast array of sweets till their sacks were nearly full, with Grisia finding opportunities to subtly swindle some mothers for more candy along the way.
The visit to the baker’s house was what brought Grisia the most anticipation. When Grisia knocked on their door they were met with a young boy about their age, with hair so white it looked like a blanket of freshly fallen snow and a smile as sweet as the kinds of desserts Grisia ate on a regular basis. After explaining he had made all the sweets himself, the baker’s son went on to offer Grisia and Roland a variety of pastries. The very sight of them already had Grisia on the verge of drooling.
As the night grew late, the two boys finally reached the very last house. When they knocked, a boy answered, this time a lot more solemn-looking than the others, with black hair and black eyes giving him an incredibly imposing aura. If it had been a six year old who saw him, they might have been scared out of their wits; however, this was Grisia and Roland.
But before the two of them could say ‘trick or treat’, the boy gave them a quick look and his stony face suddenly revealed an expression of surprise.
“You’re hurt!” he exclaimed, addressing Grisia, quickly taking note of the blood splatters over his tunic.
At this, Grisia was astonished, while Roland was stunned. Seeing their reactions, the boy took another look and let out a sigh of relief.
“Ah, so it was just your costume. My mistake.”
Hearing this, Grisia couldn’t help but laugh. His high-pitched, childish laughter rang like the tinkling of a bell throughout the crisp night breeze. Even Roland gave a small chuckle and the boy joined in smiling in embarrassment, though it did not suit his solemn face.
“Ahahaha! Look, Roland! You weren’t the only one to fall for it!” Wiping a few tears from his eyes, Grisia finally turned back to the boy and gave him a huge grin.
“Trick or treat!”
“Unfortunately, I have run out of candy,” the boy said apologetically. “Ah, but I do have one left...”
He reached into his pocket and pulled out a single blueberry lollipop.
Immediately, Grisia’s eyes sparkled at the sight of it, however, he did not take it.
“You keep it,” he told the boy.
“Don’t you like blueberry lollipops, Grisia?” Roland asked, confused.
“I do, but it’s Halloween! Everyone should have candy on Halloween, but he’s run out. If I take it he’ll have nothing left.”
The boy shook his head. “I don’t like sweets. Please take it.”
But Grisia was obstinate. “How about this?” he proposed, taking out a bar of dark, bitter chocolate from his sack. “I’ll swap you! Then we’re both happy, right?”
The boy smiled once more, and his face no longer seemed as scary or imposing.
“Deal.”
“We got a lot today,” Grisia sang happily to Roland as they made their way home. “It’s late, so I’d better get going. Don’t eat any of your candy, Roland! I’ll trade with you tomorrow! Remember, I get the blueberry ones!”
“Grisia,” Roland said seriously. “Have you forgotten what day it is tomorrow?”
“Of course not. Tomorrow is the day where you will be announced the future Sun Knight!”
Indeed. The next day was when the current Sun Knight would choose which of the candidates left would succeed him. However, Roland, with his excellent swordsmanship, had the highest chances. Grisia was sure he would be chosen.
“I’ll meet you at the Holy Temple tomorrow morning, ok?”
“Ok, Grisia.”
With that, the two of them parted.
If only Grisia had known then that that was perhaps the last time he would ever speak to Roland, the both of them alive, as friends, perhaps he would not have let his friend go...
Warning: This is a bit boring so you can stop reading this part whenever.
When I first got the idea for this fanfiction, I originally intended for Grisia and Roland to visit all of the Twelve Holy Knights. However, 2000 words really isn't much. I ended up only barely staying within the word limit and only managed three of them. The first person the two of them visits is quite obviously Earth. The other two might have been a little harder (but still extremely easy) to recognize, but the Baker's son was Ice and the final boy was Judgement.
Writing this fanfiction was a very interesting experience for me, because I wanted to portray a variety of things. The first was of Grisia and Roland's relationship as twelve year olds before Grisia becomes the Sun Knight. When they are both still friends before Pink takes Roland away.
Something else that was quite fun was depicting the interactions between Grisia and the other Holy Knights when they still don't really know each other. In regards to Earth, I'm quite sure a lot of people would notice a resemblance between their encounter and one of the LSK side stories. Thus, Earth's part of the story was extremely easy to imagine. I had intended for Ice's part to be longer (in fact, everything to be longer) but in the end, I hope I was able to point out that Ice was still a kind child with a beautiful sweet smile, before he entered the Holy Temple and changed into a popsicle. As for Lesus, although he looked imposing at such a young age, he was not as serious at this point, and still freely expressed his gentleness and compassion in public. And of course, Grisia didn't really change all that much.
I really enjoyed writing this, so I hope you enjoyed it too! Happy reading and Happy Halloween!

For my entry, I decided to write a song. I came up with lyrics, and although I tried to sing it, my voice really isn't that great. It actually took me a lot of effort to muster the courage to upload it, hence why I'm uploading it the day before the deadline. Recording my singing was also very out of my comfort zone. (Actually, thinking about it now, it was kind of funny cos I was singing all this stuff about praising the light and my whole family could hear me and probably thought I was crazy). ...Below is the link to the audio file, but if you'd rather not have your ears bleed to death, maybe it would be better to not click on the link... Lyrics if you want to know what the song's about, but don't want to become deaf: The taste of chocolate
I’m a chocoholic
Oh it drives me insane
The crunch of candy
Slight hint of brandy
It’s Halloween today, let’s play
All I want to do tonight is stuff myself till full
But Judgement came and said I can’t
He said that I’m the Sun Knight and I have duties to fulfill
Those duties can go to Hell for all I care
Isn’t Halloween a Blessing
Praise the Light
You get sweets for free, hey hey
Praise the Light
Whatever Judgement says, I don’t care eh eh eh eh eh eh eh
Tonight, I’ll disguise myself
Praise the Light
I’ll sneak out and trick or treat
Praise the Light
Just for today I’ll do whatever eh ehe he
From the kitchen I can smell the scents of ice’s sweets
Of blueberry shaved ice and pie
Even though I’m meant to correct this pile of documents
I’m gonna throw them all to Storm for all I care
Isn’t Halloween a Blessing
Praise the Light
You get sweets for free, hey hey
Praise the Light
Whatever Judgement says, I don’t care eh eh eh eh eh eh eh
Tonight, I’ll disguise myself
Praise the Light
I’ll sneak out and trick or treat hey hey
Praise the Light
Just for today I’ll do whatever hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
I’ve donned the Dragon’s Saint Brigandine and have snuck out of the church
Although I was forced to pay the price in blood, the 300cc was worth it
Praise the Light
My mouth is watering i can’t hold it back
Praise the Light
I’ve got a whole basket of sweets
Praise the Light
There’s even a blueberry one
Praise the Light
Nothing’s gonna make me share it!
-ight!
Isn’t Halloween a Blessing
Praise the Light
You get sweets for free, hey hey
Praise the Light
Whatever Judgement says, I don’t care eh eh eh eh eh eh eh
Tonight, I’ll disguise myself
Praise the Light
I’ll sneak out and trick or treat
Praise the Light
Just for today I’ll do whatever eh ehe he
All I’ve done is eaten sweets
Look at all these yummy treats
But remember what to do
Have to praise
The light
Thank you god for all these sweets
Thank you lord for halloween
Have to praise
The Light
(Sorry, I got lazy typing all the eh eh ehs)
I had also planned on making a video to accompany the song, but because I've been super busy (7 exams over a period of two weeks) I was unfortunately unable to complete it in time, but below is a bit of an idea on what it would have been like...

Forced Halloween, no regret! In this image, Sun tricked Judge into the maid outfit, but got beat up instead. He had no regret.

Well, somehow I just wanted to paint how would Lesus react if forced to participate in Halloween party in mask (unfortunately I didn´t have big enough paper :/ ) And I like to think about what kinds of faces could Grisia make under that smiling mask...

Here is my entry!! RIP my bio and chemistry marks. Spent so much time on this! I’m always such a bad procrastinator, ugh, usually the last person or one of the last people to submit their entries. {Crossover Galore Leaflet}Rest assured! No Leafs were harmed in this Leaflet. ----- 1. GAME 1 – Charles from No Hero cosplaying as Gui from ½ Prince I blinked. A young man stood before me, with a calculating gleam in his eyes. By human standards he could be considered as extremely handsome, with long purplish black hair cascading down his shoulders and delicate features. However, I was not human, and it seemed that he was not either. After all, humans didn’t have such pointy ears, did they? “Yes, you will do just fine.” He said with a satisfied nod. With a swiftness that was completely unlike his nature, the young man whipped some black cloth and a cloak at me, before finally topping off his throwing practice with a…harp…? Startled, I surged forward to catch them, hoping to not break the instrument. However, as my fingertips grazed the clothes, the world began immediately to spin. It was then did I realize that somehow, I was falling out of the sky. A computerized voice spoke up. “It is now time for the birth of the vampiric bard. You will be born in the XXXX continent.” …Wait, what? And what about Young Master? 2. GAME 2 ― Ah Ye from No Hero cosplaying as Prince from ½ Prince “Charles! Charles!” I whipped around, relieved beyond words. A good thing too, because any words I had would have died at what I saw. Young Master rushed over, wearing what seemed like light armor. I believe he would have been a ‘warrior’, opposed to my ‘bard’ class. However, that wasn’t what made my mind blank. On top of Young Master’s head sat a bun. A bun with…eyes. And a mouth. And was currently nuzzling Young Master’s head. I blinked. As if this world wasn’t strange enough. (This meatbun is Ah Ye's video game lover who got downloaded into the game with him. xD) 3. Demon King Neo ―Neo from Legend of Sun Knight cosplaying as Gle from Kill No More Because really, Neo is just another Gle. Except this overpowered guy has Chasel to reel him in. (And really, Kaiser is just another money-obsessed Grisia with green hair. Maybe they’re long-lost cousins?) 4. Scarily fun AUs Modern AU in which the 37th generation of the 12 Holy Knights are the parents of their respective successors, and the Vice Captains of the 38th generation are the appointed babysitters. Featuring… Couple Costumes! Lesus (cosplaying as Meatbun from ½ Prince): 6 years old and raring to go trick or treating, if just to hoard some sweets so his poor wallet can take a break from his best friend’s sweet tooth needs. Grisia (cosplaying as Ohmygod from Female Warrior): 5 years old and already a manipulator who’s great at employing the Puppy-Dog eyes © Grisia. Even Neo cannot stand his son’s cuteness. (As it is, it’s a small miracle that his teeth aren’t rotten from all the sweets that are lavished on him) Adair (cosplaying as Kenshin from ½ Prince): 12 years old and the only babysitter who doesn’t let himself be completely trampled by his charge. Neo loves him for this (and secretly moans all the money he used on previous babysitters, before Adair turned 12 *In my country, you can get a babysitting license when you’re 12*). Vidar (cosplaying as Arctic Fox from ½ Prince): 13 years old and the one who takes a backseat whenever Adair’s there because Adair’s just that good. In addition, Lesus is like a saint compared to Grisia, so he really doesn’t have the skills to deal with the devil-in-disguise. ---EXTRA: UNISEX--- A beep cut Neo, the CEO and President of LiGHTS, off as he immediately dropped his discussion notes to fumble for his phone. His subordinates sent each other looks of amusement. A moment later had Neo cooing at the screen. Chasel, Vice President of LiGHTS, didn’t even blink at his friend’s actions. Likewise, Popilus (the Pope), the Treasurer, and Rose (Pink), the secretary didn’t either. They were already immune to the antics of Neo. “Update from your stalker?” Chasel asked, sending a small prayer to Kleenly, Neo’s assistant. Rose huffed, curls of hair bouncing in the air. She fingered her mandatory lollipop unhappily. “It’s so unfair that you have assistants who would help you stalk people! I want some pictures of cute Roland with little Ceo toooo!” The young mother (who had adopted Roland when his mother, Rose’s older sister, died in a car crash) flopped over. Neo gave his phone one last besotted look before shrugging and throwing his phone over to the hungry sharks. Chasel plucked it out of the air before turning it on to take a look. Both Rose and Popilus crowded around to see. His first thought was that Lesus, his darling child, looked extremely cute. His second was that… Grisia…was in a dress? Wait, what? “Neo…” Chasel looked up, slightly speechless. Rose had already burst into uncontrollable giggles while Popilus tried to hold down his snickers. “Why is Grisia in a dress?” Neo blinked. “Huh?” He demanded, slightly affronted. “What do you mean? It’s a unisex costume, right?” …… Chasel made a note to never let Neo buy any of Lesus’ clothes. And if he could help it, none of Grisia’s as well. (AN: Ahahaha, Neo doesn’t know the difference between girl clothing and unisex ones. Poor Grisia. Anyway, hope you enjoyed this! Special thanks to Lucathia who helped direct me to visual images of some of the characters~ Charles’ Gui costume is from the first 10 chapters of the ½ Prince manga. Ah Ye’s Prince outfit is from the chapter cover of the 2nd chapter of the manga. I tried imitating the cover pages of the manga. Kenshin’s outfit is from the first time Kenshin is introduced, and the same for Arctic Fox. Gle’s outfit is from an image from the novels (I think). So, who's your favourite cosplayer? Thank you for reading!)
