One Daily Tale

🌎

A common world

The presence of Atma, the Shape of Balance, made it easy for the Espers to remember the importance of maintaining equilibrium across their entire planet.

Because they understood that they all shared the same common world, it became evident to them that they should cherish the land that provided their food and the natural Aether granting them the power of magic.

A common ground they came to see as something to protect. They realized, sadly, that before the Chaos War, few Espers had understood this principle. They had used their magic without restraint, draining Aether and harming the planet.

What changed since the Chaos War?

The realization that StarDust could unite them and bring harmony to all—if each being took personal responsibility. The rise of the Seven Shapes made this path clearer, as they led a movement with One Daily Tale to care for both the planet and the StarDust.

A movement that finally transformed Esperia into a land of harmony and peace.

    For the Seven Shapes, this was certainly one of the most daunting challenges. How could they make moderation appealing when the Shadow of the Espers so often drove them to act against it? First of all, the presence of Atma, the Shape of Balance, was, just as with the other Shapes and their respective elements,…

    From then on, with Shala, the Shape of Time, placing greater emphasis on it, thinking about the future had become a normal part of life for the Espers since the end of the War of Chaos. The Espers were not naturally creatures who placed the future first. On the contrary, their Shadow urged them more…

    Now that Esperia had been rebuilt on new foundations, which seemed obvious to have been put in place after careful reflection, thinking back to the world as it had been just before the War of Chaos seemed unreal. “How could we possibly have behaved like that?” wondered a young Esper, incredulous as he studied the…

    Whether they wanted it or not, every new Esper brought into the world was part of a whole: a family, a clan, an elemental region, the civilization of the Espers as a whole… Until very recently, it had been inconceivable for Espers of different elements to even attempt to communicate with one another. Simply because…

    Even though Esper society had changed greatly with the use of magic, an analogy with previous civilizations, some of which had disappeared, was still possible at its core. Whatever the era, fundamental needs, whether food or sleep, had always existed. Having easier or more difficult access to these needs had, moreover, often been the reason…

    Every Esper had this Shadow within them, which acted in their place whenever they failed to act consciously. Imperceptible until the discovery of the StarDust that brought an end to the Chaos War, this Shadow was nevertheless the one that had built their civilization until then. This Shadow, which favored immediate gains for its host,…

    If there is one Shadow that causes a great deal of harm, whether on an individual scale or on a broader scale, it is surely that of Empathy. It often takes control of behavior when emotions speak for themselves: anger, fear, suspicion. It is often said that the beings who can hurt us the most…

    As for Wisdom, the Shadow within each of the Espers was no less present. On the contrary, when faced with difficult questions or complex problems, this Shadow would often avoid the real issue and instead answer something simpler, something it was capable of solving without effort. That was why the Espers sometimes behaved in contradictory…
