The time was 4:00 in the dark, early morning. An average night in Hilamor, the region of inventions. The night was quiet and peaceful with most citizens dead asleep, except for one if them: Ellesto Hilamor, the leader of the region.
Hes use up in the late nights as he claims that staying up is more productive than sleeping.
Recently hes been skipping more nights of sleep than usual, hes been working on a specific personal project. A puppet.

The project was being made in his own personal workspace where he likes to work on new steam powered machines and weapons. Its located somewhere near the edge of the region near the spar forest in an old lighthouse.
Its light still works but is used for an emergency danger signal.
The light house was filled with shelves cull of different machines, weapons and tools on almost every floor. Except the top floor, his own personal floor. Its inly used for his own private projects, nothing else and nobody else can come to that floor

The top floor right above the light of the lighthouse was where Ellesto has been spending his nights working on that puppet.
The floor had a desk with a chair, on it were blueprints, notes, coding for the puppet and tools. On the other side of the room was a stool with on it the puppet body, it was connected to multiple different wires that all connected to the inside of its body trough square hole on its back. The inside of the body was filled with more wires and a metal skeleton. The last thing that had to be put in the body was a hart of some sorts, something that could provide power or electricity for it.

Ellesto was pacing around in deep thought
'How can i make an infinite power source for
this thing...' he thought. He stopped pacing around for a moment and glanced up at a shelf with a few crystals on it. He had this ureka moment and a faint determined smile staring appearing on his face. She took one specific crystal off of the shelf, it was a crimson coloured Roseäl. 'This is it! Why didn't i think of this sooner?!' Ellesto thought. She looked at it and rotated it a couple of times and got to work.
He sits down at his desk and shoves some of the stuff on it aside. He grabs some stone shaping tools and starts to carefully shape the Crystal into the shape of a human hart. 'Ohoho, now were talking.' He thinks to himself.
He takes another few hours working on making the hart fit in the puppets body perfectly.

Just as he was done shaping the hart the first bits of orange and pink coloured sun hit the roof of the lighthouse.
'The final piece..!' He whispers out loud.
He proceeds to walk over to the stool where the wired puppet body was stationed. Ellesto kneeled down behind it and took the wires out the body, carefully one by one.
The crystal hart was placed in the middle with small vain like wires that could provide the hole puppet with fuel. After the hart was placed in, he closed the square hole on its back and kneeled down infront of it.
'Hello there, Calukie'
