A Broader Vision

Simba was a little monkey who lived on the margins of the society of Esperia. Although he was not an Esper, he too had developed a consciousness and had learned the five languages of the different elements.

Seeing the world from a different perspective, he often wondered why a broader vision had still not yet emerged for the five elements.

Of course, new knowledge is not transmitted instantly.

There is therefore an inertia inherent in societies with a large number of individuals.

Relationships of trust take time to build, while very little is needed to break them.

But to see the whole is to see beyond one’s own element.

Even if differences exist between the elements, it was now understood that each was only a part of a whole.

Likewise, understanding that the five elements share the same planet, with finite resources, made it possible to see the world with a more global vision.

Little by little, individual by individual, this broader vision can become a norm for all.

    Learning from Mistakes

    The Espers were far from perfect. Learning from their mistakes was therefore also a natural way for them to grow.But in a society where the right to make mistakes was becoming less and less accepted, learning from one’s own mistakes was also becoming increasingly difficult.

    The challenge the Seven Shapes had set themselves was far from simple.

    Against the Current

    Making the right choices is not often easy. Especially when the almost insurmountable flow of society as a whole imposes a vision from which it is difficult to break free.

    Is There Really a Need?

    The period of abundance brought about by the massive and limitless use of magic had come to an end.

    Interdependence in a Limited World

    The Seven Shapes had clearly understood that, in order to rebuild Esperia, everyone’s efforts would be necessary, whatever their element. The period preceding the War of Chaos had developed, throughout all the elemental lands, the understandable but fruitless feeling that the fault always lay with others and that making efforts oneself only meant putting oneself…
