Skies Without Borders

Years after the great war of belka, its principalities spreads throughout the continent and enjoys the independence from the old regime, including the republic of ustio, a beautiful and rich country with modest and lively people.

If we trace back to the past, there is an ace that once defend this beautiful country, they used to called him the demon lord, or maybe more well known as cipher, member of the ustian mercenary air force, galm 1, 6th air division, 66th air force unit. Yes indeed, he is the demon lord of the round table. A warrior who soared through the belkan war, inspiring both fear and admiration. His presence filled the skies for but a few short months before he disappeared. Apart from that, nothing is known about him.

For about many years, it feels like the demon lord has already being forgotten, but not many people know that he already lived a peaceful life and finds his own life purpose. The lone pilot now lives in a humble winter hut in the countryside of mount waldreich in the eastside region of mund valley near the great dam of avalon, the former central belkan land which now given to republic of ustio by the decclaration of iun after the war.

He continue to live as a wood chopper in the mount waldreich surrounding forrest area. After he got his woods, he usually sells it in the town, it is also where he used to meet new people, but strangely no one recognized him as a former ace. It is like that until one day, a strange but familiar face and sound approach him and greet him in a friendly voice.

"yo buddy still alive?"

Then I'm shocked, it looks like I already know him, but I think I will pretend to not know him

"Sorry but who are you? I don't think we ever met before."

"Aw come on buddy, don't you recognize your old friend? I once was your buddy and your enemy"

"Pixy, i don't have any business with you, i'm done with you, now if you excuse me i have a work to do."

"Hey hey, come on, look at me buddy, look i know there a lot of thing going on between us, and i know that i messed up a lot in the past, but please believe me, i'm a different man now, i've redeemed my miserable life by saving and helping many people in the frontlines as a volunteer, don't i deserved a second chance?"

"What do you want? Whatever you seek from me i don't have it, so stay away from me"

"I think people can change, but it looks like you still stay the same way, we once were fierce hell dogs terror the enemies sky, but now look at us, now we are nothing but a dust in the ground"

"Just tell me what do you want"

"Don't you miss the feel of air in the sky, don't you want to soar your wings again up to the sky? I you did, then me too, but luckly there are nothing more to afraid of since the war has ended, but we can fly again together in a whole new world a whole new sky, we can fly together in a peaceful clouds, as a civillian pilot"

"I dont know, i dont think i can fly again after those wars, even though i miss the sky as much i miss the feel of breeze and air in the cockpit"

"Look there's no need to lock yourself up down here, you need to live up to your dreams, just admit it that you live to fly, its in your blood and its in your soul whenever you dream about it, so if you change your mind, you can come with me to the airport tomorrow"

While he hands me a card with a titled name air ustio. Then he walks away while waving back at me. I think about it quite a long time in my hut. Its when i realized that i really want to fly again.

Then the next morning, I went to that designated place, only to find my victims gather around like the knights of the round table. And it is exactly like i guess, it turns out that they are aces from the great war of belka. There are Indigo 1, Gelb 2, Silber 1, Espada 2, Wizard 1, i can't believe they're all really here, well, at least most of them, except, the Gault 1. Somehow i have a mixed feeling about this, it feels somewhat kinda nostalgic to meet your former enemy in peace time, but on the other hand, it feels quite cold to face your past. Back then, I only fight for what is right, that is the purpose of my wings, and I never fight with or based on any kind of hatred, but what motivates them? What do they feel when i shoot down their wings up in the sky back then?  Have they already forgot when i shred the sky and tearing up their team formations while eat them alive one by one? Are there still any hatred they've been keeping towards me and lies deep down in their hearts?

But soon my questions and doubts fade away as soon as they meet me and greet me with a very warm hug just like a brothers in arms. They tell me that they've been missing me for too long, and thanked me for the life spares i gave to them. I quite shocked they act to me this way. But soon my old buddy told me, there is really no need of doubt, the past is the past, now we're heading together holding hands for a better future.

And so on, now we fly again together in the clouds, not as an enemy, not as an ace, but just as a pilot in the skies. Pixy finally gets what he always wants, a skies without borders, only there is no reset. Well people often asked me, a place with no borders is maybe good, but is there really exist such place like that, besides if it is really exist, would that change something? Well of course that place exist, and that place is the skies, and yes, it is change something, it is something that makes us people of the world, what makes us connected, what makes us united, that makes us friends, that makes us family, our place is in the clouds, we always live to fly high achieve higher and beyond, we own the sky, and the sky belongs to all of us, the skies is us.
