The stick that had just 'rained' from the window was crooked and irregular as if it had been detached from an old tree. After a sudden creaking noise, it seemed to shorten quickly, spinning on itself like the tip of a top.
Suddenly, a strange being came through the window, hurling its companion into the room. A boy was thrown onto the bed and, falling on his back, did an agile somersault in mid-air, landing on his feet on the floor.
After completing its spin, the demon who had carried its tamer from the roof of the building into the apartment revealed its bizarre appearance. The long wooden staff was but one of its two legs. Just as the legs lacked feet, the arms without hands were made of two thin wooden sticks.
