One Daily Tale

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.

    While the end of the Chaos War brought a sudden state of peace to Esperia, the way the StarDust worked ushered in a period of necessary adaptation. The Seven Shapes did their best through the work of One Daily Tale, but the lingering Shadow within many Espers still prevailed over their StarDust. Yakara was a

    The revelation of the StarDust profoundly changed the way Espers thought. They now understood that a bright StarDust was the key to perceiving their own Shadow, and therefore gaining a deeper understanding of themselves. Shala, the Shape of Time, was there to remind them that one step a day was all it could take to

    The Seven Shapes were reflecting on how things had changed since the end of the Chaos War. “The discovery of the StarDust was truly the key to understanding ourselves,” thought Vati. “Yes, and Atma, the Shape of Balance, was also a missing element in being able to create One Daily Tale,” said Shala. “In order
