A Difficult Future

Vingel, our little dog friend of the Fire element, gazed deeply into the future that The Seven Shapes were trying to create through One Daily Tale.

“This is a task that seems so difficult…” he thought.

And for good reason, the understanding of the world, following the end of the War of Chaos, had highlighted the need for the unity of the five elements to finally achieve true peace for all…

But he now held on to hope.

His meeting with Gurumin, the Shape of Empathy, had rekindled within him a flame that had slowly faded, and had made him indifferent to the world in which he nonetheless lived.

“A difficult future does not mean impossible.”

“Whatever the element, there are Espers who are doing their best with what they have at their disposal. And even if they do not necessarily think about a bright future for all, their daily actions are already in line with the principles of One Daily Tale.”

“And of course, there are the future generations to take into account… No one wants an unlivable world for our dear children!

“Even if it seems unrealistic at first glance, each new day is a new opportunity to act for a better future for them. And not acting means letting an unbalanced society continue to destabilize… And history shows that this does not lead to a fairy-tale ending…”

    Of Balance and Waves

    When Atma was born, she brought with her a new concept. Balance in everything is like a wave: the cycle of day and night, the turning of the seasons, even life and death. There were natural rhythms all around Esperia, and when one looked more closely, they all seemed like waves. Sound, light, the flow…

    Back to the Future

    On Esperia, the presence of Shala, the Shape of Time, was essential to help the Espers grasp the notions of future, past, and present. Why? Because any past or future action is nothing more than an action that has once been done in the present! And thus, it was difficult for the Espers to fully…

    Mental Food

    Just as our nutrition shapes our health, what we feed our minds also has a powerful influence on who we become. Today, with constant access to an almost infinite stream of information through mobile phones, what we choose to consume becomes the food that nourishes—or weakens—our thoughts. As always, knowing this is one thing. Acting…

    Viewpoint

    Eklea loved challenging the young Espers with small mental games. “Think about how you see the world. Look around you, and try to imagine viewing it through the eyes of your best friend sitting beside you, the tree in Esperia’s garden nearby, or even one of the countless stars shining in our night sky!” “By…
