Devil Art: Night Shadow

When he hear the soft voice, he almost couldn't control himself. His breath turning rapid and heavy within every seconds. His eyes turning bloodshot and shine with such a splendor that could rival the sun. if he can see his condition right now Grant would be so surprised and scared. If a voice can be so powerful then how enticing would her other qualities be. Suddenly everything around him turns blurry and blurry until he couldn't see anything apart from the graceful figure of the lady.

"Art thou really a chosen one? how could thou be so weak? no, tis is impossible. Tis is already the 1326th human i have summoned and no sign of a chosen one ever appeared. Very well then, i guess i just have to..."

Without even finishing her sentence, that lady twist her right index finger and a symbol of red flower appeared at Grant feet and suddenly he disappeared.

"made one myself.."

On a night inside the beautifully trimmed graveyard, a red flower suddenly sprouted and within seconds bloomed with a nice aroma and eye catching beauty, it spat out some kind of red smoke from it's petals and immediately wither away. Inside the red smoke a blurry shadow was formed and then a man emerged from within. It was Grant with a bloodshot eyes, he looked around with desire in his eyes but what meet his eyes was a tombstone and not what he searching for.

"Is it a dream..? No.. it can't be.. no. No way that can be a dream!!! I refuse!"

Grant was just an ordinary guy with no talent, well except that sometimes he can see things that other cannot see and interact with them. The very reason he can get this job was because he chase and beat the twin ghosts that haunt his current manager, Boss Jerry, to the point where the ghost begging for mercy.

"Humph! if the Boss didn't stop me now you would die a second time today you gutless apparitions! begone from my face NOW!!"

the ghosts then flying back to where they came from but still crashing into each other in their attempt to escape. Boss Jery, still stunned to see such weird, said such a following sentence, "I began to wonder if you can make ghosts peeing themselves if they stare at you."

"That indeed happened before! how did you know Boss?!"

"..."

Then, his days as a security guard pass slowly and uneventfully except scaring both ghosts and guests alike with his face and body. So that kind of stimulating and exciting experience is a first in his life. Then on the next few days he began patrolling in the same graveyard sector to try his luck but to no avail. He felt very frustrated, "If that thing doesn't show up today and kidnap me again, i will make it wish it would!"

Suddenly a bell chimes was heard from surrounding bushes, it grew nearer every time he tried to listen to. A black smoke rose from them and turn into a black blurry figure. Surprisingly it was the same thing that kidnapped Grant the last time he was here. 'it' then spoke:

"Hehe.. hey big guy~ it's been a whi-!!"

"Ha-ah! you're the one who pounce on and kidnap me last time aren't you! come on! pounce on me again! pounce on me harder! Kidnap me again! please kidnap me!"

"....."

Surprised, it forgotten what to say for a moment. Then laughed as if it has seen the most funniest thing ever happened.

"Fufufuahahahaha~"

"Hey what are you laughing at! come on let's do it like the last time we met!"

"Aiya~ my-my breath.. ahahahaha~"

Unable to breath normally while shaking continuously it then *Poof!* and turns back into smoke, as the smoke faded away what remains of it was a black scroll with strange engraving. It pulsated with purple colored that makes one want to touch it.

Grant, bewildered that his plan failed in a completely bizarre way turn his attention into the black scroll. Intrigued he walk and pick up the scroll and turns back into his post while muttered something.

"Is that thing crazy or something..?"

While on a place where the earth black and the sky glowing purple, a black smoke was formed then turn into a black shadowy figure that immediately rolling to the ground.

"Fuhahaha ha ha! haaaah... h-he is so so hahahaha"

After rolling for 2 minutes the black figure suddenly reminded of something

"Hmm? i forgot to tell him the password isn't? well i know it still can be opened without a password but the effects of the Night Shadow scroll..."

At the same time inside an ordinary guard post, a huge guy with a masculine face sat on the couch and focusing his gaze on a black scroll held in his hand.

"Hmm? Night Shadow? Devil Art? what kind of crap is this?"

Said the man as he read the tiny words on the outer shell of the black scroll and without hesitation pull it out of it shell and began to roll it open.

"What?! What is this..!"
