The Lost Sky

Aira who can move is invited to meet the boss aka Raymond. Raymond asked all his men to leave, letting them talk alone. The boss continued to talk, whereas Aira remained silent while looking straight at the man. There was not a single emotion that could be read from the boy's eyes, he just continued to stare at the boss without hesitation.
Raymond gave his word to Aira for the first time. "Be a beautiful doll and a deadly weapon for me, Raymond! Make me stand on the highest throne of the evil part of the world!" said again. "Call me MASTER to the front, boy!" no answer, no response, the same as before.
"That's the goal for your life now!" said Raymond again.
Hearing the word life, Aira's lips trembled small, she seemed to want to open her mouth but could not. Seeing that, Raymond felt that Aira would be a suitable submissive doll for him. "Just blink if you can't make a sound yet" said the man as if making a favor by giving Aira some lightening.
Aira who heard that blinked twice, she approved everything Raymond said. The word life is like a whip to the little girl. Raymond laughed loudly.
"Take my doll to her new room!" raymond said after calling his men. "He's going to start training tomorrow!" continued again.
"Who are you pointing to be his teacher, boss?" ask the polite guy.
"Should you ask the obvious, stupid?!" hardik Raymond was upset. "I'll take care of that myself!" he continued throwing vases at his men earlier. His throw was on target, obviously his men did not dare to dodge.
Blood dripped, but was ignored by the person concerned. "He-he, I was wrong, boss! I asked a stupid question. Who is better than the boss who is suitable to be the little boy's teacher" he said with a smile and continued to praise his boss.
"If you understand, get her clothes ready for tomorrow!" the boss said he gave the order. "Then hire one or two women who can take care of my beautiful doll!" continued Raymond.
"I'll find you soon, boss!" said the man rushed outside. He said Aira went back to her room. After that, the man carried out two orders from his boss.

The next day, Aira showers aided by her workers who are forcibly employed under threat. They are the daughters of families who owe a lot but can not pay even if only the interest. Be they repay that debt by signing a contract of employment. They just need to accompany the little girl, take care of her and teach her to read and write. It was also determined that the two should not be angry about anything else until they hit Aira. Only Raymond could oppress the doll, anyone else who dared to do so would be tired of living in the same world as him.
Aira was schooled hard, the little boy surrounded the field like an adult. He learned swordsmanship, shooting, horse riding, and other different exercises every day. There was no day without practice, but Aira's face remained flat with blank eyes. He also never complained of fatigue, even though he had fainted several times. What Raymond liked the most was, Aira was never late in training anything else ditching. Even when sick, Aira still came to the training ground on time.
Days change, months go by, and years quickly grow. Aira who began to bloom like a flower, increasingly look beautiful and charming. Even without makeup polish even once, the girl is still beautiful like a world star. No one dared to touch Aira, even if it was just a joke. They still love life, still want to play and have fun for a long time. They were quite enjoying from afar that beauty, there was no need to pawn a life to the shadow of the demon that invited death.
"My dear, how are you today?" ask Raymond before starting their morning workout.
"Are you ready to lose?" Raymond grinned at Aira who was ready with his horses.
"When!" reply is short without changing expression.
"After this let's go shopping, baby!" said Raymond, who already thought of Aira as a child, no longer a puppet. That habit is really scary, which he wants to make tools can change because he is used to living together and watching it grow. But of course Raymond's initial goal was not to change, he would use Aira as a stone that would make him shine at the highest point. But the difference is, he will do while giving protection. It means that he cares about the life and death of the boy who has started to grow up.
"Good, master!" reply Aira. Both were involved in the attack. Blows, kicks, drifts quickly. No time to blink, no time to think, speed is the key to this fight. Not stopping with their bare hands, now they are fighting swords. The sound of iron clashing filled the training ground, Raymond smiled with satisfaction, Aira was getting better at balancing it playing.
"Stop!" raymond stopped their fight. "You can always make me happy, baby!" praise Raymond.
Aira's face remained flat despite receiving heartfelt praise from the man in front of her, it made Raymond smile again. "Change your clothes, we'll be leaving soon!" tell the man while throwing his sword, of course his men will catch the weapon.
Aira nodded, she returned to her room together with her two nannies. The two women were still working and helping Aira all this time. "Are you tired, miss?" asked the youngest Lia among the two Aira nannies.
"You want to take a shower?" tika asked, the other nanny.
"Reply prepare quickly!" tukas Aira flat.
"Soon, miss!" reply both.
Finished bathing and changing clothes, Aira immediately went to Raymond's room. He was free to go in and out of the room to meet with his master at any time. "I'm ready, master!" said Aira standing in an upright position.
Raymond looked up, the man then smiled faintly. "Let's go now!" he said he took an outdoor jacket.
The two walked side by side, like father and son. Aira even sat in the same car as Raymond, it was common and no longer surprised his men. Before getting out of the car, Raymond touched a bit of Aira's arm, as if knowing Aira was nodding slowly. "So you still remember what you had to say if you wanted to talk to me outside like this?" ask Raymond.
"The call went from master to father!" reply Aira without emotion.
"Smarty!" praise Raymond who is not at all able to penetrate the unity of Aira.
