The Kingdom of Siris.

Lucien, a dollmaker who creates dolls so lifelike they are mistaken for living people.

Crafting dolls to order, selling them, exhibiting them, and repairing them was his work and his entire life.

Among the countless dolls he made, there was one he was uniquely attached to, a doll he would never sell to anyone.

He refused even the largest sums of money. If he felt someone looked at it for too long at an exhibition, he would take it back and hide it in his workshop. He dressed it in many clothes, brushed its hair, and at some point, he began to sit it next to him and talk to it.

After years of this, Lucien suddenly thought:

'I wish those eyes could look at me. I wish I could feel warmth from this skin.'

That thought grew uncontrollably, and eventually, Lucien learned sorcery. After many attempts, he breathed a soul into the doll.

And he gave it the name he had decided on long ago.
