Esrozia was a bustling city, full of many kinds of entertainments, business and agrarian chains. The city was notorious for its rumours and gossip and it was known to be the best place to get informations about everyone and everything.

Many new hearsays circulated in the city, but the most known was the one of a 'doll'; well, to be exact It was the '99th reincarnated doll'. 

Usually these kind of rumours were ignored, labelled as fantasies. 

What made it special was the craftsman who made the doll. He was ridiculously known, so naturally, there were plenty of stories told about him, but this one was the most trending one.

No one knows if his dolls were actually dolls, but that they were reincarnated? Well that was the most infamous and unrealistic rumour of them all.

The craftsman was named Arcane, but it was known only by few.

Arcane, as the name says, was very mysterious. People even said he was a sorcerer of some sort.

He has made lots of dolls, and every single one of them is rare. Only a very few people in the world possesses them.

It was said that those reincarnated dolls, had an human soul inside of them.

The soul of a repented criminal.

Arcane gave them a chance to live again, but there is something they have to achieve. Not even one doll out of 98 was able to accomplish it, and now it's the time of the 99th doll, otherwise known as the last doll.

There was an auction being held, where this doll would have been sold only to the richest of the richest.

"Oh, is that so?" The man exclaims.

"Then I'm interested. I'm going to buy it" He states, after listening to the information's his assistant was able to report to him. 

"It will be a perfect gift for my little sister's birthday" he murmured while smirking.

With that, he took his coat and stepped into the car. "Drive to the Rosaria auction house"  he ordered the driver.

The man was looking out of the window and grinning as he thought: 'it seems like it will rain today...'

The Rosario auction house was the most known auction house of the whole country, it had been around for years and the richest families are connected with it.

This auction house was really mysterious and they also sold esteemed objects that only the richest are able to buy.

A/N: Can you guess who the man was?

Some quotes I wanna share:

Sunshine is delicious,

Rain is refreshing,

wind braces us up,

some is exhilarating; there is no such thing as bad weather only different types of good weather.

~×~×~×~

I want to be the reason you look down at your phone and smile.

then walk into a pole.

😂😂😂😂 I found them on Pinterest. thought it was funny so wanted to share! have a nice day or night, have fun and.....

I will just rot here I guess....

The auction house was full of people, all seated and discussing with each other.

The people were busy chatting and laughing, when the host offered his welcome.

"Welcome to the Rosario auction house" The host exclaimed cheerfully, a warm smile on his face. Claps boomed in the hall and the host silenced them gently, before speaking again.

"Now" He started with open arms "We shall begin the auction" the bidding and selling started. The hall became a war field, where everyone was ready to risk it all to gain the item they came for.

There were many kinds of people to that auction. Some knew that the items that were being sold were rare, and they wanted to show off their wealth buying them. Others were collectors, expecting to find something interesting to add to their lines. Some just loved antiques and were there to search for something they could like. Others were uninterested in the sold items, and were only there to form connections with other rich families.

Everyone had a plan in mind. 

Some people were waiting for the last item, the best and most expensive one.

"So, as the last object of this auction we have.." The people were eager to see it  "The so called 'Reincarnated doll' !" the host loudly exclaimed, and some employees came on stage carrying a small coffin and placing it in the center of the stage.

Suddenly a loud murmur started to rise.

"Is this one that 'doll'? Oh my! I heard that would have been sold, but I thought they were making it up!"

"Same here. I didn't think it was true!"

"But I wonder why they aren't opening the coffin?"

Then the host started talking again "If you are wondering why the coffin is not open, well, that's because the owner asked not to show it until it's bought. We follow the rules, so we can't show you the doll untill you buy it" he revealed, disappointing the crowd.

"Without delay, let's begin the bidding" he clapped his hands together "We will start w-" The host was interrupted as the door loudly slammed open. Three men in black suits barged in, walking towards the stage.

One of them stood in front of the host and handed him a check "Wha- Who are you people? What's with the check?" The host questioned frantically.

"Our boss wants to buy the doll" The man in black said stoically "This check should be enough to pay for it. Right?" He arched an eyebrow. The host gulped and nodded his head, as the money was more than enough.

The man nodded to his companion as to confirm that the deal was sealed and the two took hold of the coffin and exited the auction house, closing the doors politely.

It all happened so fast that the audience couldn't even react

When they came to their senses, they started commenting what happened, making a fuss. Some people were angry and started shouting curses, since they didn't have the chance to buy the doll, while others were curious about who the new owner of the coffin was.

The host was also panicking, but he kept a poker face, as he had been trained well.

He didn't know what to do.

As he was thinking his phone rang. The host hurriedly picked up.

"Hello Elron" the owner's voice came from the phone.

"Sir, what should we do? it's a mess!" Elron, the host, asked in panic.

"Don't worry. Just calm down. I know what's going on. Just end the auction, it's already time" Elron didn't understand much, but he did what he was told.

"Please calm down Everyone. I apologize for the sudden interruption. The last Item is sold, so the auction has come to an end. We are thankful that you came, goodbye for now. I hope to see you all to our next auction. Have a Good night" Elton politely ended the auction and left the stage. The audience was obviously mad as they didn't get any explanation, but it was already late, so they all left. Some were satisfied, while some were fuming from the anger. There were many complaints, but they were all dismissed.

On the flip hand, a man was leisurely drinking tea while sitting in his car, satisfied with his patronage. A knock on the car door made the man nod; and the man in black opened it, and stayed outside, holding the elegant coffin. There were blue bells stitched on it and it was decodated with jewels.

"Kye, place it inside." The man ordered seeing the coffin.

"Yes sir!" the man named kye answered rested carefully the small coffin on the seat. 

"hurry, we have to go to my sister's birthday party as well" The man told his driver, who nodded and started the car.

The whole car ride was silent and peaceful, the driver was used to it by now and his eyes were solely fixed on the road.

While the man looked silently outside the window, he took a glimpse of the coffin and couldn't help but wonder how the doll looked like. He took hold of the coffin and gently opened it.

The man's eyes widened in surprise to what he saw. It was a breath-taking beauty. The doll was angelic, with it's silver hair and porcelain skin. Its eyes were closed and it looked totally like a human, not at all like a doll.

'Hmm, I have to say that Arcane was a great doll maker' The man thought as he was totally impressed with the doll's craftsmanship.

He touched the doll's cheek, he blinked as he looked at his hand. Its skin was soft like a human's, but cold. Not even the littlest bit of warmth. The man was surprised to be honest, but then again, it was a doll, so it should have been normal for it to be this way, no matter how human-like it looks, it's still a doll.

'I'm sure my sister will like it' he thought watching at the peacefully sleeping doll. He then closed the coffin and went back to look out of the window.

"It's seems like it's really gonna rain" he murmured as drops of water fell to the ground.

 ------

The temperature was getting colder with the rain, but the city was really pleasing, a pleasure for the eye.

A/N: This chapter might be a little confusing, but I'm sure with the next chapters your doubts will go away. 

….Hopefully ;)

"We have arrived" The driver informed his master as he parked the car. The man hummed in reply and got out of the car.

"Kye" he called his assistant.

"Yes sir, what is it?" the assistant immediate response came out of nowhere.

"Take the present and come inside." He ordered and begun his stride towards the grand party venue.

It was only the birthday of a fourteen years old girl, but it was impressively grand. The man smiled, satisfied with it. He was delighted, since he was going to see his beloved sister after such a long time.

He was in front of the doors by now, and as they started to open, the people in the hall gasped, shocked to see such a famous man right there. In the hall rose an annoying murmur, full of laughter and words, but he couldn't care less.

"Isn't he the infamous young master?" A lady whispered to her friend. "I think so, but wasn't he abroad?" The other retorted.

"Wow, he is so handsome!"

"Yes yes!! I heard he is a genius as well!" A girl excitedly replied. They were excited to see this handsome man who seemed to have caught everyone's attention.

"Who is he?" asked a boy, jealous of all the praises the man was getting. The person standing beside the boy shot him a weird look "You don't know who that man is?" he asked mockingly 

"No, am I supposed to know him?" questioned the boy with a grimace.

"Obviously. He is the brother of the birthday girl who just came back from abroad it seems."

"Is that so? But why is he so famous?" as he asked that, a woman next to him leaned in and answered "It's because of how astonishing he is! He is intelligent, handsome, smart, rich! He's the man every girl would crave for"

The guy was weirded out by the sudden appearance of the woman, while she paid no mind to his reaction and kept talking. "He was sent abroad for further learning, but he always visits when it's his sister's birthday! They say that he is a big sis-con! Can you believe it? like, he looks so cold!"

"Okay... so what's his name?" The guy asked, he didn't want to question any further.

"His name is Lancelot Idris!" the woman answered cheerfully.

"Well, I have to go now. It's already this late" She spoke checking the time; it was already 10 pm. The birthday party started at 6 most, so most guests were also preparing to leave.

Lancelot would have came at an earlier hour, if it wasn't for him hating crowds and his need to buy a gift. He was just hoping that his sister wouldn't be mad at him.

It had been a lot of months since Lancelot saw his sister, so he was really thrilled. He really was a sis-con. He loved his sister the most, and would always find time on her birthday or events like that to come and visit her.

As he was on his way someone came and interrupted him. "Hey Lance!" A guy was waving while coming towards him. It was Lancelot's friend Chase Rosario.

"I knew you would be here!" Chase smiled radiantly, seeing his friend's cold face again after months.

"As always, you didn't even inform us of your visit!" he spoke while fake sulking.

"Stop faking it, I didn't come to see this. Besides, I just arrived here and why should I bother? You knew I was coming anyway" Lance shrugged, seeing Chase as a bother as always.

"Yeah....and I heard you bought the doll as a gift!" Chase was sure that Lance would definitely come for his sister's birthday, and he remembered his dad calling him and complaining about Lance, saying he barged into the auction house and took the doll.

"Anyway, where is my sister?" Lance asked, since he couldn't see her anywhere.

"Stella? Well, she's in her room but..." Chase spoke turning quiet at the end of the sentence, lowering his head like he was reluctant to say something.

"What is it?" Lance darkened, as he was quite protective when it came to his sister.

"Calm down, it's not something bad.." Chase said, trying to calm him.

"Where is she?" Lance asked demandingly.

"Well.." Chase looked away troubled, trying to find help, but he got none 'I'm so lonely' he sorrowfully thought to himself.

"She's in her room, but I don't think you should give her a doll as a birthday gift" Chase tried to warn his friend.

"Why? What happened?"

"I don't know, ask your sis! Bye!" Chase quickly said, running away.

Lance thought about it for a while, and went to his sisters room. The door was half open and a gloomy aura was coming out of it. Lance hurriedly opened the door and found his sister curled into a ball at the corner on the bed, she seemed sad.

"Stella are you okay?" he asked concerned.

"big brother!" she was so happy to hear her brother's voice that she almost jumped on him.

"Big brother, why are you so late?" she spoke while pouting.

"Happy birthday! And sorry about that baby. Why are you sad? did something happen?"

"Thank you and No.. it's nothing like that.." she spoke, looking down trying to think what to say.

"it's just that... Everyone is treating me like a child! I don't like it! I'm fully grown up!" she braced herself shouting.

"Oh.." Lance didn't know what to reply, so he asked "Why do you think everyone is treating you like a child?"

The girl bit her lip and said "well, they... first it's my birthday dress! It's all pink and It's a princess dress like a child's! Second, the gifts! they are all what a child would receive! Toys, dolls... Glitters and fake bows! Everything! Then all the people, they all look and speak to me like I'm a child, why?" she trembled as she spoke and started crying.

Lance was startled, 'but you are throwing a tantrum like a child would' he thought. He had no idea on how console a child, so he said "Well it's because you haven't proved that you are a big girl! you have to prove it! But first, I'm so hungry! I came from far away and I have yet to eat, did you make me something by any chance?" Lance asked expectantly. Whenever he came back, his sister would make something delicious for him to eat.

Stella was not convinced yet, but she nodded anyway, considering that her brother should have been tired.

The girl happily showed her big brother the dishes she made, and he kept complimenting her, making her happier. 

In the end she was smiling satisfied, humming happily.

Lance sighed as his sister seemed to be returned in a good mood. 'kids are so hard to take care of' he thought tiredly.

On the other side, poor Kyle was holding the Casket, in which the doll was. He felt sad for it when he remembered what his master just said "Don't give the doll to Stella. I want you to send some people to buy the most exquisite jewelry that you think would suit my sister's taste" 

Kyle didn't know what to do with the Doll, so he decided to send it to his master's house since it was really expensive. 

Because it was getting too was late, Lance sent his sister to sleep and took off to his home.

The atmosphere was cold and It had stopped raining, but the flowers were still wet with water. They looked faerie in the elegant flower garden….

....it truly was a lovely weather!
