A Fresh Start

Trying to build a world where peace would prevail was not an easy mission at all. There were so many things to take into account, but the Seven Shapes agreed that flexibility should remain a point of focus.

Because flexibility allows for communication, the ability to try new things, and even, at times, to take a new turn with a fresh start.

The Espers would naturally change over the years, through the new experiences they acquired and the new acquaintances they made.

Working on one’s own StarDust was a priority in Esperia, but how to work on it remained the freedom of each Esper. Some chose to place more emphasis on Empathy at one point in their lives, or on Willpower at another.

With different aspects of the StarDust highlighted, different parts of one’s inner Shadow could be revealed.

So fresh starts were often welcomed, and the community of Esperia was built to help the Espers try different things, so they could understand themselves even better.

It must be considered not only from the perspective of an individual, for whom a balanced diet and regular physical exercise are important, but also from the perspective of the group and society, as mental health is often closely connected there.

    Guruko and her platypus companion were once again looking, through their magical mirror, at what was happening on a mysterious planet from another universe than their own. This planet was covered with water, which gave it its blue color when seen from space. And today, its inhabitants had decided that it was Earth Day, the…

    Are these qualities not those of children? Full of life, joy, and curiosity, they ask questions that many adults have stopped asking. The Espers of the Wind element were certainly the closest to this state of mind. Even as adults, they had often kept their childlike hearts, showing a radiant, authentic, and sincere smile. To…

    Faced with the immense task that the reconstruction of Esperia represented, the need to rethink the world as a whole had finally reached the center of discussions. “We now finally understand that we share one single planet,” began Vati, the Shape of Wisdom. “We also understand that the five elements, as different as they may…

These waves come and go, sometimes gently, sometimes more vigorously, yet always in this back-and-forth motion that creates a balance. It was this image that had become present in the minds of the Espers…

    Despite their ability to use magic by consuming the Aether of their planet, the Espers had great difficulty perceiving the world on timescales beyond their own. Indeed, their senses did not naturally allow them to grasp such realities; the present moment or a much nearer future would then dominate their thoughts and lead them to…

    If until now the Espers had not understood that each of the five elements was only a part of a whole, and that they shared a single planet on whose resources they depended. In particular, the Espers, endowed with the ability to use magic, had just come to understand that with each use, it consumed…
