A Critical Situation

The discovery of Aether, the precious life source of the planet Esperia, had led the Espers of the entire world to a realization: until then, without knowing it, they had lived in a way that had placed Esperia in a critical situation.

The countless conflicts between the Five elements were gradually consuming this Aether.

Indeed, every magic used consumed this precious resource, and the more powerful the magic was, the greater its consumption became.

The War of Chaos was the first war in which all Five elements of the planet took part.
The most powerful Espers of each element possessed magics of a power never seen before.

At the peak of the War of Chaos, the Five Great elements used their most powerful magic at the same moment.

The combination of these extreme magics of Water, Wind, Lightning, Earth, and Fire produced a burst of exceptional brilliance and revealed to all the existence of the StarDust.

“We were truly in a critical situation. It was only by chance that we discovered the StarDust,” recalled Vati, Great element of Water, who had become the Shape of Wisdom after the end of the War of Chaos.

“Yes, it was a realization for everyone, and it allowed us to rebuild Esperia on new foundations, more just and finally in harmony with our dear planet Esperia…” concluded Eklea, Great element of Lightning, who had become the Shape of Consciousness.
