Chapter 11: ToyLand

Many, cities are filled with people and spirits like carrying out festivals but it is a custom here. Some people wear masks, animals; clowns; for the sake of entertaining other residents and small children. Is there a living doll? Ah, that's Automaton—the spirits who possessed the doll—good and lived like ordinary humans, come to play and entertain. Full of joy and happiness. Spirits laugh; men smile; cities are crowded with pleasure, Toyland.

Cheers etched on the face of a blonde girl. Enjoy the festive conditions of the city; eat the ranks of cakes; see the attractions of acrobatic; talk with friendly spirits. It was unexpected that the task from Jin was so pleasant. This place is quite peaceful even though it is far from the academy.

Happy, joking, and laughter. Apple now walked cheerfully and leisurely through the square, some people and Automaton greeted him. Legs stepped, light humming mouthed cherry lips until the view diverted on the villa like a museum. Unfortunately the splendor is faded with some dry leaves strewn across the grounds and veranda; the wood paints are peeling; the doors and windows are rickety, completely abandoned. Even so, this house attracted the attention of the fruit girl.

Come close. When Apple was about to open the fence, the hand stopped because of someone's pull. Surprised, turned right to the owner of hand—an older girl—Apple was amazed by his appearance, until the eve took off the mask and saw my eyes blue crystal storage of sadness; it is very different from the Joker mask.

"Don't enter .. supposedly that place is cursed." The typical sounds of children. But the curiosity bloomed in the heart, Apple occasionally turned towards Villa. "It used to belong to the Golem Master, he was famous enough that the king called him. Regardless of what happened, they fought fiercely and the Golem Master fell in battle. Since then, someone has heard crying there. I'm warning you, don't come in."

Leaving in the silence behind the crowd, Apple was surprised to see the girl disappear from the front before she thanked him and asked for a name. Sighing, again looked at the abandoned building in front.

"Crying yes, perhaps it was the spirit in question ...." Not heeding the warning of the pierrot girl pigtail two, he settles in through the back door.

Stepping with certainty even though the old hinges from the door make a strange sound. Dark, that was the first word the blond girl thought. Luckily the sun is still hanging, the light propagates every recess of the sky above the villa. Quite normal, some paintings; tables and benches; other furniture neatly arranged but. The deeper Apple stepped, the more gripping the air in this place. Wood chafing in the silent space of uninhabited signs for a long time.

One, two ... up the stairs. Every now and then looking into the space, many statues and paintings were left behind, absolutely nothing strange. It was written in the mind, that rumors are just rumors until they arrive at a wide space. There were scattered wooden dolls but they were all faceless or full-bodied. On the contrary, there is one that is absolutely perfect sitting in the middle bench.

Apple approached, looking at him who was more human-like than a puppet, his silver hair sparkling. "Golem master is really great huh."

The body of the female doll trembled, the blonde girl was shocked and stepped back. It soon calmed down, but Apple didn't look away a bit.

Boo!

Lucky to manage to avoid, just a second late maybe the face was as shattered as the wooden floor. Apple further leapt back, breathing heavily in shock. The girl doll was still silent in a kneeling position, hands were buried in the floor, head was bowed.

His head slowly tried to turn towards the blond hair.

"Haah, I-san! Satan!" Apple was terrified, screaming incoherently to the point of crashing here and there, trying to get away from the strange space.

Runs pretty fast, maybe. Some stairs he went down, I don't know how many to be in the basement. Luckily, the lights are still working here, it is clear that this place is a library, so many books but again a mess. Apple rested on one of the shelves, trying to calm an irregular breath.

"Gosh, what the fuck was that? Power, crazy! The floor is destroyed. Aduuuh´s. Haah, if this is .. how do you try?"

Withdrawing oxygen deeply, it could finally calm itself down. Puffed up and got up, now searching the library in hopes of finding something to help him. One by one, he noticed the book. Something caught the eye, the desk not far from where Apple is standing right now, right on the table there is an old, outdated book. Without thinking long read every width. Diary, it turns out this book contains the story of the owner of villa—Golem Master.

"It! That doll! But ... adult? And this man must be a Golem master." Almost towards the end sheet, he found a photo of the couple. There is something strange about this photo. After more research, it turned out that it was not a previously seen doll, but actually a human, a woman. Intrigued, Apple read the next sheet by sheet.

Squinting, Apple a little trouble, this is like a doctor's writing. It takes a long time for a blonde to read every sentence. Eyes wide open discovered the hidden secret, shaking slowly lived the meaning.

"Today, I'm about to go on a long journey, research is complete, mission is complete. Ah, no-no more precisely I will teach the weak king a lesson. How dare he! Making Orchis a weapon to destroy his enemy, of course it is contrary to my dreams.

Orchis resembled himself when he was young in the midst of happiness. Orchis, that's his name, according to the flowers he likes. Puppets .. dolls .. they are perfect, unlike Golems, no need to breathe and live temporarily. I am a genius! Everyone knows that, but can I make a soul? Maybe! Therefore, Orchis ..he has such advantages. But cursed is the king, he precisely ... precisely ....

It never occurred to me that something I created could bring bad luck to others, I had to take responsibility, there was no other way. Orchis .. If you could, I wouldn't watch you cry, after this I hope you can live happily, forever. I have to go, this is my destiny. Orchis.I, I don't think I'm coming back, I can't see you anymore. I'm .. I'm sorry, Orchis."

As it is written in the old book. Shaking hearts, the blonde girl shed tears. The soulful words of the Golem Master that turned out to have a great secret behind the quarrel with the king. Drowning in feelings, Apple forgets to be around. Steps sounded, slowly approaching. Apple was surprised to see the wooden doll he had previously met was already behind. As fast as lightning he dodged another fist, the table was smashed to nothing.

"Doll calm! Or rather ... Automaton, Orchis!" Little lips pronounce the name of the doll, yes, its name.

Apple's words revolved around the earlobe, Orchis looked coldly at the girl, his hands shaking. "W-how did you know?"

Hugging closely the readings previously encountered, ventured closer to the Automaton. Without taking time to show Orchis the contents so that he calmed down and read. Orchis picked it up, combing through each line of words. Before long the book fell out of his grasp, limp he lowered his head.

"Sir left me a ring, a memory of his past. He wanted to give this to .... Master told me before leaving with tears streaming down his cheeks. He entrusted a ring that could not be given. I held onto the hope that one day he would come back, a feeling I didn't know was welling up inside me, like wanting to explode from the chest. Stupid new sober-currently, there is only one truth .. My bond with Master, has been drawn and broken. It'll never be fixed again."

Water overflowed from the ruby eyes of the Automaton, dripping; flowing profusely; time passed. Apple held onto both of Orchis's small shoulders that looked about the same age as him. Surprised, they met face to face.

"No, that's not true! Your master left because of his responsibility, protecting you from the dirty hands of the king! Don't want to see you sad .. take responsibility for his actions, this is just because you're an, Orchis. He wants to make you happy, so .... You are his most valuable work, even believed in with the ring. Don't surrender! I-I'll help you! I'll get you out of here, no need to slump again, the big world awaits!"

So long abandoned in the uninhabited villa for expecting the arrival of the beloved until despair struck, now there is someone who encourages, opens his heart and resuscitates from adversity. Hearing Apple's words, the petals rolled up, looking shiny ruby eyes dabbled in flakes of light from the reflection of tears. The heart overflows; it trembles; courage now envelops. Remember the old days with the Master, before he lived as he is now. Moments where helpless, lovingly knit like a child himself.

"Sir blesses me, Automaton, with life and soul. I want to learn, find, and .. love. The world out there, where the master has disappeared, I will look for the reason of my existence and birth. The world awaits, endless horizons before me. I'll follow you, find the truth .. thank you." Orchis smiled sincerely with tears in his eyes.

Apple took a deep breath, delighted; happy; seeing that the Automaton understood and wanted to make friends with him. Without a second thought hugged the doll. Orchis was surprised but followed by laughter, they hugged. Orchis whispered thanks again, for opening his eyes to the truth. It had been too long to wait until the dark mist shut the heart. He was grateful, there was someone who still intended to meet him, pulling him out of the black shadow.

Some time passed, they talked lightly. Apple is willing to teach Orchis some things about the world that have never been stepped on.

"Well, then .. let's go!"

"Ep. Eh, wait! I'll change clothes first!"

As fast as lightning Orchis ran, astonished Apple followed but misfortune he lost the nose of the Automaton. Worried, the doll finally came back in different clothes. Wearing a lacy black lolita dress. The blonde girl was surprised, Orchis was confused and tilted his head. Until Apple remembers something.

"Eh, wait .. I can't just take Orchis out. Oh yea! Seal, this could be Kak Jin's job at once! He abandoned objects fused with the spirit and finally lived. Yeah, sure! Because he's an automaton, I can definitely seal it, this way" Apple whispered to itself.

"That, Orchis ...."

"Yes?"

"I'll seal-eh, put you somewhere safe, how about?"

"Safe place? Can do!" Nodding innocently and innocently, Orchis took for granted an offer from the blonde girl.

Apple breathed a sigh of relief, immediately drawing a magic circle with chalk in the waist bag. Orchis was pensive, remembering the Lord's behavior that made him alive. When finished, Apple wiped his slightly flooded forehead with sweat, allowing Orchis to stand directly above the magic circle and Orchis to comply. Taking out a Sigillium, some ragged ragged, magic circles glowed dimly like neon.

"Mordere off vestri clavus, pingere magicae circulus, carmen magico carmine, clauditis tibi!"

Orchis disappears into the flickering grains of the glitter bath. Within seconds Sigillium sucked in the light. Before all that, Orchis took the time to smile and wave to Apple, making the heart happy in tranquility.

So clear the white light highlights when putting the Sigillium back in the advance bag. Whatisthis? Of course the girl quickly reached into her bag. Story about "RED", the book opens again.

The figures of youth and women, they were sitting next to each other on the hill in the forest. Seemed calm and under the picture was a running caption: "The magician chuckles at the surprised hope, 'If you are lonely, is it okay for me to sit with you?' Witches fall in love with hope. Lonely witches can't leave hope alone. 'Will you live with me?' The witch's smile on hope. Hope had never been shown the kindness of man before, so he was terrified. 'Will I be deceived again? Will I be hurt again?' The head was filled with various worries. 'I will live with myself, go and leave me alone, ' answered hope clearly to the witch. But the witch was stubborn and refused what was asked."

Apple was silent with the book open on page six. Will the entire sheet open with regards to the events that befell this girl? Because now ... eyes as blue as the sky are shining again, this is not a gaze that belongs to him.

"Soner." Apple regained consciousness when its head was touched, its eyes returning to normal in one blink.

"Eh? Mr Xavier?"

"Hurry back to the academy."

Why should I go home? Didn't completing the mission and the task depend on the disciples? They can go home whenever they want, at least Apple still wants to enjoy the hustle and bustle of this city. The burly man pulled the tiny arm of Apple, explaining nothing. Why rush?
