25. Graveyard Surprise (Halloween Special)
pakala! lipu ni li lon ala kepeken toki pi wile sina. lipu li awen kepeken toki Inli. + o pana e ante toki
Panel 1. In a misty, night‑time graveyard, among the cold stones of long‑abandoned graves, a beautiful young necromancer stands majestically with her staff. She faces a knight serious about engaging in a fight.  
Necromancer: Muahahaha! Attacking a necromancer in a graveyard, you clueless fool!
Panel 2. The necromancer raises her staff and arms, casting a spell that spreads luminous effects across the ground around her. Skeletons emerge from the graves.  
Necromancer: Skeletons! Rise from the dead!
Panel 3. The skeletons look at each other, some pat each other on the back, others hug, seemingly unaware of the necromancer's presence. A mix of disbelief and excitement ripples through them. In the background, the necromancer makes a horrified face: this isn’t the result she expected.  
Skeleton 1 (an adult): Hey, kiddo? Is that you?  
Skeleton 2 (a smaller one): Grandpa?!  
Skeleton 3 (holding another’s hand like a lover): Come along, love, everyone's here.  
Skeleton 4 (an elderly one, clutching its back): Hello, youth!
Panel 4. The necromancer is disgraced and her arms droop. The five skeletons now huddle together, arms intertwined. The knight roll on the floor laughing at the necromancer’s crushing failure.  
Necromancer: I hate tiny family graveyards.

Bonus: Timelapse

While I'm painting, Krita periodically takes a snapshot of the process. Here is a video compilation of all the snapshots for this episode, accelerated a lot (an episode takes between 10 and 16 hours to complete).
