A Brilliant Argument

When the Seven Shapes decided to try to rally the Five Elements behind a single cause, it seemed unrealistic, almost utopian.

How could they change all the Espers, who until then had been fighting endlessly?

And if the Esperia we have come to know together every day is now a haven of peace, at the moment of the creation of the universal charter of the Espers or of One Daily Tale, none of that was yet considered a brilliant argument.

On the contrary, and Vati, the Form of Wisdom, remembered:

“The ideas we had were so simple that it was difficult for many Espers to accept that they hadn’t noticed them from the start.”

“The revelation of the StarDust when the magics of the Five Elements collided was an invaluable help,” she continued.

“Yes, we were incredibly lucky. And if history does not always tell it, luck plays a central role in the events that will become key,” added Eklea, the Form of Consciousness.

“That’s true, Espers love stories that highlight results achieved by ‘geniuses’ or ‘brilliant’ people. But for everyone, luck and environment were extremely fundamental factors.”

    Collective Consciousness

    Eklea was reflecting on how Esperia had radically changed since the end of the Chaos War and the discovery of StarDust. “This created a collective consciousness,” she whispered.
