"Hey, look what I found in the lawn." I said to Leo.
"I saw the same plant in my lawn too." He said.
"Did our parents bought the same plant?" I asked.
"I don't think so. It wasn't there last night and I highly doubt that my parents bought it in the middle of the night." He said.
"Really? Then is it some sort of a wild plant?" I asked.
"I don't know." He said shaking his head.
"Well then. Let's go to the park they must be waiting for us." I said.
We have plans to meet up with our friends in the park today. We reached the park in ten minutes. After meeting up, we decided to play frisbee. While playing, Jack threw the frisbee too far.
"I'll get it." I said. I ran to where the frisbee landed.
"Leo! Leo come here!" I shouted. Leo and Jack came running together.
"Hey, it's the same plant." Leo said.
"The same plant? Did you saw this plant somewhere else too? Jack asked.
"Why? How do you know this plant?" I asked.
"I saw it in my lawn." Jack said.
"Okay. This is seriously creepy. Let's follow these plants." I said excitedly.
"You just said that's this is creepy." Jack said.
"Yes, that's why we need to follow them." I said. We followed those plants. It took us to the far end of the park where the lake is.
"Wow. Is someone going to come out of the lake now?" I said jokingly. Just as I said that the water started to move. A figure emerged from the water.
"Hello, children. Are you here to welcome me?" The figure said.
"Who are you?" Leo asked.
"Can't you guess from the context? The horns, the wings. I am the devil, kid." He said.
"Were those plants from you?" I asked.
"They were grown to announce my arrival." He said.
"But those were such beautiful plants!" Jack exclaimed.
"So? Should I have sent, I don't know cactuses?" He asked.
"Well, since you three here welcomed me to the human world I will exclude you from my wrath." He said. "Now if you will excuse me. I have a lot of work to do."

Shizuka
A/N: I'm actually writing two stories at once, this and another story on ScribbleHub. I have decided to put Shizuka on hiatus due to some RL issues but my story on ScribbleHub will continue since I'm co-writing it with a friend which is easier. Please do check it out on ScribbleHub. Series name is Walking in Shadows. Four Heroes were summoned from earth to combat an evil threat in Evarenan but there was a fifth person, Hirano Shizuka. She was never meant to be summoned. It was purely coincidental and unintentional. The God who acted as the intermediatery for the summon, has shunned her. Fated to live a harsh life in a foreign world. Abaddon, a Goddess, the Empress of Night, took pity upon Shizuka. Fascinated by the strength of her will and soul, and fond of her humble and accepting character, the Goddess offered Shizuka to be her Champion which Shizuka accepted. A month passed after the arrival of the Heroes and a plus one at Evarenan, the real trials and nightmares of this world had only just begun for our offworlders, especially Shizuka. AN: Shizuka is the sequel to Overture of an Odyssey, which takes place after the events of the latter.
