Chapter 6 - Space

" Ooh, she is so cute when she sleeps" said the young woman excitedly .

"Shhhh" Granny put her finger on her lips to warn Jane "Don't wake her up , we must leave now , come on"

The old woman walked out the room dragging Jane with her .

"Mmh, Granny ,don't you think she sleeps a lot lately,…also , she is so calm ,she doesn't cry a lot either like the other babies, it's strange "

"I know" the old lady nodded" I also noticed that, but don't worry, when the doctor came to check on her , he clearly stated that there were no problems and that she is perfectly healthy, don't bother yourself with this matter, I will take good care of her "

After that , both the old and young ladies remained silent all the way .

*******

The Space was created by the third Great Puppeteer with its guardian, the rabbit ,to carry and protect the legacy of the puppeteers , books and tools , all necessities to learn and develop the profession .

The space took the shape of a three floored manor in one consciousness , each floor represent the different stages one should master to become a Great Puppeteer : the first floor , a big square hall surrounded by several colored doors , for the first stage , Manipulation ,the arts of control a puppet's body freely as the puppeteer desire , the second floor , the Mind Control , interfere in one consciousness ,memories and even more , the third floor , Creation , making a puppet as one wish .

Ellaria got the space the first time she met the rabbit , when the latter touched her forehead she felt an intense pain in her brain, it was the space that tried to establish itself in her consciousness , but thanks to that she was able to communicate with its guardian , Fluffy. After two Weeks , Ellaria was able to enter the space and start learning in the first floor . The big hall has five doors , an impressive purple one on the left wall and four gray on the right , in the middle of the hall a big empty area for training , at the corners tables and chairs were put there , and at the deep front a staircase leading to the second floor , however , it would be impossible to go up until the apprentice completed the first stage .

When Ellaria enter the space , in the outside world , her eyes were closed , her breathing slowed down , anyone who see her would think that she was just asleep , whenever it's her nap time or at night , she would train her magic in her space, if she could , she would even stay there the whole day, but she must eat and wake up from time to time to not make Granny and Jane worried . Another disadvantage , when she withdrew her consciousness in the space , it took the shape of her two weeks baby body which make her unable to move and even sit , without Fluffy's help and assistance , she would not be able to study , he was in charge of carrying the books and turn the pages beside moving the training puppets .

[Fluffy , I memorized the shape of the first magic circle , we can start now]Ellaria was leaning on an armchair , Fluffy was standing in front of her , with an opened book in his arms .

Fluffy was astonished , Magic circle is known for its complicated combinations of thousands millions runes ,making it hard to master . Additionally , the puppeteer profession 's first stage may have a few magic circles ,however , it's neither less difficult .

[I have a good memory , Now what should I do ?] replied Ellaria nonchalantly , in her past life,her memory was close of a photographic one , she didn't get difficulties in remembering some things and events and when she started her studies to become a doctor she learned the names and location of all the human bones , veins , muscles, sinews,… and the different illnesses , their corresponding symptoms and treatments , this helped her to stimulate her mind and strengthen it , thanks to that she become a genius doctor at a very young age , remembering this kind of combination of runes is not a big deal for her.

Fluffy returned to his solemn expression of a teacher and started explainingAs he gave his instruction , Ellaria performed them immediately , she took a long breath and closed her eyes , the flow of mana become clearer and clearer , it gave a warm pleasant feeling some purples lines appeared on her hand and slowly the circle and the runes inside it were formed The girl opened her eyes and looked in astonishment at the blowing palm seized purple circle in her hand .

(So , this is the so-called Magic, it's stunning )that the first thought she got after performing her first magic circle , Ellaria smiled brightly , excitement , joy ,and astonishment , different emotion and feeling flowed her mind at the same time , in her past life Magic was an imaginary term ,she herself didn't believe in such childish stuff but now it exists just before her eyes and will soon become her new quotidian , her interest was immediately caught and her soul of a researcher was revived once more with her undying desire to study the unknown .

Ellaria was so focused and attracted by the sparkling magic circle that she didn't notice Fluffy depart, it was only after he returned, and put a small ball-jointed wooden doll on her armchair that she woke up from her trance .

he pointed at the faceless doll sitting just beside her . Ellaria did as instructed and extended her hand toward the toy, seeing that ,Fluffy resumed Ellaria nodded , and focused on her mana flow, in the next instant , unseen by the naked eye , various translucent threads merged from the circle and instantly entered the doll's body , spreading out deeper into its head and four lambs . Without waiting for further instructions, Ellaria controlled the threads to lift the doll's right arm which immediately moved , then the left arm , the legs ,next she raised both the arms at the same time . It was really astonishing ,but before she could play more with the doll , Fluffy suddenly clapped his hands .

For some reason , he seemed overjoyed and excited, he looked at the baby girl with sparkled eyes full of anticipation Ellaria retrieved her hand and the moment the flow was interrupted the purple circle in her palm disappeared , meanwhile Fluffy took the wooden doll and put it on the floor , a meter away from the armchair

Ellaria did as told , after expelling her mana , an indescribable feeling overwhelmed her entire being , it was like several limbs extended from her body , she could sense the object surrounding her and deduce its shapes , she could even tell what was behind her without turning her head to look . Eager for more, Ellaria increasingly spread out her mana , however , when it reached a certain distance away from her body , the mana got agitated , slowly freeing itself from her control , it made her frown in displeasure .

Seeing her frown , Fluffy said

he said pointing at the wooden ball-jointed doll on the ground .

Ellaria gathered her mana around the doll , and slowly the purple magic circle appeared on its back, however , this time the process was much slower than before, the difficulty to control the mana outside the body should not be underestimated , at least the result was there, the doll stood up on its two feet , it lifted her right leg forward to make the first step , awkwardly the doll started walking like a newborn who just learned how to walk , gradually , its movement become less clumsy , and more natural , Ellaria put all her focus on the doll ,making it perform various movements and gestures . Fluffy was by the side , observing Ellaria's control, from time to time , he would write in his small notebook , an idea of his, he decided to record the durability , speed of casting and the control range, at the end of each week to properly determine her progress .

For the time being the statistic are as following :Durability of the circle (how long the user could perform the magic circle ,it also depends on the user mana control),120 seconds; Speed of casting , 30 seconds ,90 seconds(at the long range) ; Control Range , 1 meter.
