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…”
