  Entry I - The beginning. It was a warm, sunny afternoon, as Mika'il was browsing through the city streets, looking for a doll shop. You might say it's a pretty weird destination for a boy his age, but there actually is a reason behind it. He's not going to play with it, ofcourse he isn't! Mika just needed a mannequin for making his clothes. Designing was his biggest passion, and he wasn't going to be ashamed for it. He never wore what he made, he didn't want to be too noticeable, but he already had a few commissions, some for private wear, and even three for school uniforms! He was pretty proud of that. But it'll still take a long time till 'Nights into dreamS' will become a noticeable brand.Most of his creation were doll-sized. Some he sold to toy stores, but most of them he left for himself. He liked his work too much to part with it too often. And now he heard about something that made his eyes gleam. A collection of dolls that can actually walk and move, in every way that their owner wishes them to! He thought he could only dream about it, but it wasn't a dream. Now he'll be able to see how his creations would look on people, while they'll still be on dolls! ...and that's how he ended looking for a toy store. Finally, he found it. 'Descending Angels' was the name. The dolls are named 'angels'... he recalled... The boy slowly opened the door, and entered. It was...surprisingly huge. That was his first thought. Tons of clothes and other accesories. He decided not to look at them, as he noticed the quality of the few closest ones. But he already saw the ears upgrade. He decided to get one of them later, they looked surprisingly real, only in small-scale. It took him few minutes to get to the actual dolls. They were closed in eggs, and the writing on the wall said that they shouldn't be opened, unless in a bathtub. Wonder what to do if somebody doesn't have a bathtub, but a shower... He giggled quietly, and reached for one of the eggs. He definetely wanted a female. Clothes for girls tend to look prettier than the boy ones.Next, he looked on the hair section. So many different colors! in the end, he couldn't decide on one. He took white, black and light blonde, and also some color dyes. He'll decide later which one will look best with most of the clothing. When he'll be alone. In a quiet place. He quickly paid for the things he had chosen, noticing that the prices were pretty high. Well, they do move, after all... Would be strange if they were cheap. The saleslady put the egg, wigs and dyes to a big bag with the shop logo, and handed it to him. He was ready to go. He already could hardly wait to start working on her.

  Entry II - The awekening. "Finally..." Mika sighed, entering the bathing room. The house was empty, not counting the servants, so nobody would disturb him while he will be busy with the doll. The room was very big, with decorative tiles on the floor, and mirrors covering most of the walls. There was a lot of potted plants around, and, ofcourse, a huge bathtub, sinked into the floor. He unpacked the shop bag, firstly opened the manual, and started to read. _____"...So, bathtub it is, and towels..." He turned the water on, and went to fetch some of the second ones. Soon, he was back, and waited till the water was high enough, slowly moving his fingers in it. Finally, after more than few minutes, it was ready. He turned the water off, and began to undress. The cold air definately wasn't pleasant on his naked body. He quickly took the egg, and slid into the warm water, with a quiet sigh of happiness. "Now, to open the egg... Hold here, switch there..." It took a few times, but finally, there was a small 'crack', and the egg opened, releasing the liquid, that poured down to the tub. Mika carefully took out the doll, put down the egg, and started examining. "...it has a lot of joints, that's for certain..." He wasn't too happy with it. The clothes won't look good on her, if the joints will stick out... "Oh well, we'll see how it looks when she's moving..." The boy carefully cleaned the doll, and put her on one of the towelsThen he finished washing himself, stepped out of the tub, and dived into the towels to escape the cold. Few minutes later he was dressed in his pajamas, and ready to go to his room, and finish making his angel. _____He was sitting on his bed, and looking at all three of the wigs at once. It was so hard to make a decision... In the end,without better ideas, he decided to roll a dice. "...three... So, white it is. It'll look pretty on her." Mika put away the other two wigs, and put the straight, white hair on the doll. It was so long! "...Pretty..." he stared at her for a while... The joints still looked creepy, but the hair calmed that image... He quickly shook his head. Shouldn't let his attention wonder away so much. The boy activated the last device, and watch in awe as the second circle moved up, forming sort of a light tunnel. "...Now, to place her here..." He slid the doll inside, and looked at the small monitor. "First, the weight... Light, medium, or heavy... If I recall correctly, heavy is the biggest one.." He pushed one of the buttons. The device made a sound, and another set of options showed. "Type... Speed, balance, or power... These, I don't think I'll be needing too much... Let's settle for balance, then." Another click, another sound, another new screen. "Name...? I have to name you..?" Mika shook his head. What was this for? He had no idea. "..You're an angel, but you'll look like a princess when I'll finish dressing you up.. So you'll be the Princess of Wings." He quickly typed in 'Tsubasa-hime' on the tiny keyboard, and clicked 'accept'. The device made some sounds, and this time they were a lot longer. He almost thought he had broken something, till the new screen appeared. 'Finished. Please take out the angel.' Mika carefully took it out from the device... And gasped. The ugly joints were almost invisible now. They were still there, but you had to concentrate really hard to actually see them. And she actually had facial features now! He looked at her face... ...and then the eyes opened. And mika found himself staring in the most amazing shade of blue he had ever seen. ".....well, I never..." This was all he was able to say... "...you are really beautiful, my lady! Just wait, we'll make your hair rival your eyes! You certainly deserve it!" He caught small scissors, one of the dyes, and a few pencils, and once again evacuated to the bathing room. Half an hour later, he was ready. The hair was halfway curled into french locks, five total on the main, two additional smaller ones on the top, as pony tails, and another two coming down her face as bangs. And the tips of all of her hair were deep blue, to match her brilliant eyes. "...so much for matching all the colors..." Mika shook his head "...but it doesn't matter. It suits you well. Now, for something to dress you..."But apparently, all the clothes he made so far were too small for her. "I should've picked medium.... Oh well, I'll make you something new. And for now, you'll have to wear this." He tied on her a blue kerchief with wing motif on the border, making it look like a sort of short dress. And surprisingly, no idea when or how, Mika'il started to think of her as an angel, not just another doll...

Entry III - The surprise. So..this is it. Mika smiled to himself, as he finished the final stitches. The gown was absolutely perfect.It was flowy, and definetely princess-like, but not too overdecorated. And the shade of blue..it was so hard to find cloth that matched her eyes! But this one, it was the closest to it. The shoes, he prepared earlier. Now a little crown on her head... Voila! My Hime is ready! Now, all he had to do, is to go to the place with layers, and he can finally see her move... - ....why won't she move...?Mika stared at his angel, lying dead on the layer, her hair in a mess around her head. Something was seriously wrong. He double-checked both his headgear and Hime's cord, and yes, they were turned on. The layer also seemed fine. So why won't she move...? He took her, and went to find one of those info ladies he saw when he entered the building. He had no idea it'll be this huge - took him over ten minutes to get back to the exit. And yes, the ladies were still there. - ..um..excuse me...?- he asked one closest to the place he stood. The girl had short, blonde hair, and the same uniform as the other helpers. - Yes? How can I assist you?- I think.. I think my doll is broken... She won't move...- That would be pretty hard to achieve, my boy. These angels are pretty solid. Come, let's see her on the layer...Another ten minutes later, Mika once again put the devices on his and Hime's heads.He carefully let her on the layer... ...And once again, she fell dead. The woman took her from it, and looked at all her joints, moved her arms and legs... After few minutes of silence, she finally looked at Mika. - Where did you buy the fabric you made the clothes from?- ...what does it have to do with anything? - I'm not sure, it were in my collection from quite a while..why?- Well, this might be your problem. Angels can move only in clothes from special fabric, that can be bought in our store. Didn't you read the instruction?- ..I...- he gulped - ..I had to miss that point.- Well, don't worry! We have really a lot of colors to choose from! And some of them, can only be bought with points from our game. Kinda makes you feel special when your angel wears it, don't you think?- the girl smiled, and handed him the catalogue. He opened it, browsed a while...and stared on the sample. This color was identical as his Hime's eyes. - This one?- the girl noticed that his eyes stopped. - It's one of the rarest prizes, 'heavenly sapphire'. It's pretty hard to get. You'd have to win a lot of games to obtain it.Mika decided, that he will.

Entry V - The thoughts. ...I had an interesting meeting today.He was walking around, looking for a quiet place to spend his time, finally finding a small cafe. He was hoping for some time alone, to sketch in peace, but instead he met a very peculiar boy. Large, round eyes, cute face, hair in a shade of green... And a dress. He looked damn cute in it, but still, you don't see often boys who feel comfortable in dresses... And this one seemed to like it pretty much. He was also stuttering pretty badly - seems he's just shy. Very shy. But it was nice talking to him. And he liked to draw, too. He's pretty good with animals, but his humans suck. Mika felt really good during the whole meeting... Excluding the part where the boy, Ailein was his name, started crying. But that didn't take long. Ailein also has a twin sister. She's pretty scary, and seems to shout a lot. But she also was easy to confuse with words. Hopefully she wasn't too angry with her brother. Mika had no idea how would she react when she finally calmed down... Then they exchanged phone numbers, and Ailein left. Mika hoped, that he would stay a bit longer, but the boy was in a hurry... Too bad. Rest of the day passed quietly... Which somehow, seemed pretty boring. Maybe the next day will bring something more interesting. Or a new person to talk to? ...Maybe I should call?

Entry VIII - The entry phrase. "...left...right...left..." Mika watched his Hime, slowly moving on the training layer. Poor thing was almost naked, wearing only a plain blue swimming suit, which he bought as a quickie in the Descending Angels shop, just for Hime's practice. He's not going to EVER show her to other people like this, she was looking so plain and ugly in it! But at least she could move. He observed her, as she was doing small steps according to his will. She still looked pretty shaky... "Concentrate, Mika." He sighed, and stopped for a moment, looking around the room. His eyes stopped at the CD player, lying on the table on the side. "...what the hell is something like this doing here? Did someone forget it?"Mika stood up, taking off the headset, and moved towars the player. Then, he noticed the small poster next to it. TEACH YOUR ANGEL TO DANCE
Although it might seem difficult at the beginning, dancing is the most essential skill in the coordination between an angel and his master. It gives rhythm to your movements, and makes all the maneuvers swifter and easier.
Feel free to use this CD player during your training. There's a CD with three different songs included. Also, you can bring your own one if you wish to."...Dancing?" This sounded pretty weird. But, oh, well... Whoever wrote this information probably knew what he was doing, since the staff didn't take it down yet... Mika again sat down on his place, and put the headset on. "Dancing... We might as well try to dance." He said, picking the angel up, and slowly setting her in a correct position. Then, a moment before letting her down on the layer, he said with a quiet voice.. "...Then...Shall we dance, my Hime?"...and so will he be doing it each time.

Entry IX - The shopping. Finally was the day. Mika didn't have any schedule for today, and he finally felt ready. The last design that he sketched finally looked like something that his Hime could be seen in. He entered the Descending Angels shop, and looked around the shelf with sewing materials. It didn't take him much time to decide - white and blue, ofcourse. He also took a pack of blue beads, and two packs of silver ones. And a box of modeling clay, to make the accesories. He wasn't sure if the thread also has to be special, but he didn't dare to risk - and thinking about the future outfits he would make, he decided to buy the extremely expensive sewing box. Oh well, he'll need only one for a lifetime of those. Then, at a spur of a moment, he also decided to get one of those fancy ears for her. She'll look like a little faerie with those, he thought. Finally feeling ready, Mika approached the register, and paid for all his things. Now he was ready to go back home, and begin the fun.

Entry XI - The negotiations. Mika came back home in a pretty bad mood. He tried to hold it down while next to Ailein, and he hoped he did a good job with it, but couldn't really be sure... But after what he heard, how could he be calm?! It wasn't even that 'Gabe' thing... Ailein was right, he also just met him a few days ago, so why was he so angry? But no... What worried him the most, were the boy's family problems. He could understand a lot. Heck, his own family didn't have relations that could be considered 'normal'. But he just couldn't understand a father that throws his son out just because he didn't fit in some weird kind of manlyness chart! Sure, if he showed up home in a dress, the Lord wouldn't be happy either. But he wouldn't throw him out or anything! He would just give him another speech from the 'I'm disappointed in you' list, and add that he can pursue his 'hobbies' as long as nobody would associate him with the family name. Not the best end, but still a lot better than what met Ailein! And Mika felt that he just couldn't leave it like that. That's why he was now standing in front of the door to his father's private library. He knocked quietly, and waited till he heard a loud 'come in!'. "...Good evening, Lord." He decided to start with something neutral. "Mika'il." The Lord nodded, fixing his eyes a bit over Mika's head. "How did I deserve this honor?" The dry voice again... But Mika was used to it already. "I need a favor, Lord. I promise not to bother you after I get my anwser.""A favor? You need a favor from me? Now this is unexpected. Is your pocket money not enough?" Gods, how he hated his sense of humour! "...no, Lord. The favor I'm thinking about requires more of...." He thought about the word for a moment... "...connections.""Connections, you say... Did you finally decided to go to a proper school? I'll arrange it right away...""NO!!!! I mean... No, Lord. Not this. My friend is in trouble...""...in jail? I knew you'll find yourself a completely improper 'friends' for a Kahn...""No, not in jail! It's his... His family. They've thrown him away. Because of a completely stupid, pathetic reason. Ailein's a good child, he shouldn't be treated that way! And when he was sick! I just want..." ...what exactly did he want...? "You just want revenge." The Lord added. Revenge... It's such a bad word... And why would he want revenge... For a friend, that he just met... Suddenly, it all felt pretty stupid and meaningless... Mika was ready to leave the room. At least he would be, if it wasn't the Lord he was speaking with.... He shouldn't be coming here. Not without thinking. Now he can't back off without loosing his face, and if he loses his face in front of the Lord, all the freedoms he fought so hard for suddenly would be taken away from him. The strenght of will was probably the only thing that the Lord acknowledged in Mika. So even if he didn't want to... He had to continue. "Something like that." He anwsered with a heavy heart. "I want that man to...reflect on his actions.""What's the name of your friend?""Herne. Ailein Herne." Mika suddenly felt a headache starting... This isn't going to end good... "Herne. I know that name. The father would be an engeneer, named Derik...." The Lord though for a moment... "I'll see what I can do. But in exchange... It's finally time for you to start to act properly. You will behave like a perfect son, like your brother Gabriel would, for..let's say, a month."Mika finally saw a gap he could run through. He can't just openly say no to that, it would show weakness. But if he'll say a shorter date and keep his opinion despite the Lord's disagreement, the Lord will be the one who'll say 'no'! Mika felt instantly better, as he anwsered. "A month is way too long. I propose a week." Now the Lord will probably take it down to three weeks, but will be ready to agree on two. But Mika isn't going to raise his offer for even a day. So it'll be fine. But the Lord also could be unexpected. "Fine, a week." He said. "I didn't expect you to agree on more. You will be accompanying me on a meeting tomorrow an hour before noon. Dress yourself properly."And only then Mika realised, that he had fallen into another trap set by the Lord. His father.
