Mil Solis

Chapter 1: Creation of Mil

First it started from a small nutcracker that broke down quickly. But he didn't give up. Then there were two nutcrackers. And then there were eight nutcrackers. And more and more. They kept breaking down again and again, but he delicately kept repairing them again and again, his kindness and love knowing no bounds. And as he kept repairing them, days turned into weeks, and the weeks turned into years. And as years passed, the seasons changed, the places around him changed and changed, but he didn't change. His heart beat with warmth, and the warmth gave life to his creations.

The creator was named Caelum Virens, but the dolls and other creations around him called him ' Master Caelum '. He was a beloved invidual to them, and no one could replace him. But there were many times when Caelum had to leave his beloved creations and go traveling around, searching for new methods to try and create the perfect creation, that would be his last. But he never came across the thing that truly would satisfy him, so he made a deal. Until the last perfect one he'd get to create, an old and rich man by the name of Eques Luna would fund his travels.

And as the years went on, Caelum started to lose this spark. But then, he realized something. There was something he hadn't tried. To make a human sized porcelain doll, stronger than the small ones, but kinder than the soft and cuddly teddy bears. Something so perfect he hadn't even thought about, but now it seemed such a wonderful idea. So he decided to make a bet with himself. Could he create his perfection as this human sized doll, or would his perfection be unreachable. Hoping for the best, Caelum started his longest journey to create his last creation.

It was a long period of years, as slowly Mil was created. His warm and fresh emerald eyes, like the forest after rain. His silky dark hair, like the midnight sky. Slender fingers and a soft smile on his face. After Mil was done, Caelum was absorbed in observing his creation. The beauty and perfection were breathtaking. Mil looked exactly like a real human, with the exception of the doll joints showing in his neck, wrists, fingers and elsewhere. But he was exactly like a human. Caelum lifted the lifeless Mil up, starting to dance and spin around with him, laughing happily. He had finally done it. He had created perfection.

Soon after, Caelum gently put Mil down, leaving a present box with clothes and a letter next to Mil, running off to tell Eques that his perfection was now a reality. He wanted to travel to places where he had never gone now that the chains of creating a perfection were gone, now that he was finally freed from the deal of creating perfection. He made his way to Eques' huge mansion quickly, navigating through the endless corridors into the study where Eques was reading a story to the dolls that were giggling and listening to their ' ' father's ' ' storytime calmly. " Eques! Eques!! I have finally done it! I have created my perfection! The deal is completed! " Caelum explained excitedly. 

Eques closed the book, standing up as he went to embrace Caelum in a brotherly manner. " I was so sure that you could do it, Caelum. And you did it! Now, I'm sure even though you'd like to keep your perfection to yourself a bit longer, you'll keep the rest of your side of the deal? " After pulling away from the embrace, Eques made his way to two glasses and a bottle of whiskey, pouring whiskey for the both of them. " Of course, brother. Have i ever betrayed you? " Caelum laughed softly, taking one of the glasses, gulping the whiskey down. " You have not, brother. I am sorry i doubted you for even a second. " Eques followed Caelum's example, gulping the whiskey down. " You'll get to meet the beauty the next thing tomorrow, i promise you. "

" But now, let us raise a toast to your success Caelum! "
