A Saving Smile

The Espers of the element of Wind had naturally understood that a smile held something unique. Even in complicated situations, a simple smile could soften the atmosphere and restore the possibility of dialogue.

However, this smile must be sincere, and not just a trick meant to take advantage of the kindness of others.

It is true that when emotions take over our usual calm, it is sometimes difficult to offer a smile, especially when we believe we are right.

Gurumin, the Shape of Empathy, had a small piece of advice on this matter.

“Take the example of a newborn’s smile. It changes the atmosphere of a room in the blink of an eye, and often even strangers are soothed by the freshness of that smile.”

“A sincere smile has the same power during difficult discussions. And taking the first step is something you can control.”

“Your element of Wind is also built day after day, little by little. Developing your ability to smile is a way to make it both stronger and gentler.”

“And remember that a smile is simple and free, and it has the power to spread, helping other individuals develop their own element of Wind.”

     Of all the Shapes of Esperia, Atma, the Shape of Balance, was certainly the one most attuned to the music of nature: the wind playing through the gentle leaves of a splendid oak tree, the soft breeze rippling across a calm sea, the birds singing at sunrise in a green valley—and even the raw roar

    Shala was able to witness the creation of Earth too, far, far away from the magical land of Esperia. She was curious and full of joy as she watched life begin to take shape—how, over millions of years, nature slowly unfolded into a world where living beings could grow, flourish, and live in harmony. But

    Cha Cha was also deeply thinking about One Daily Tale, and about the StarDust. The Espers of Esperia had all developed their own StarDust—a bright, shiny, warm veil that reflected rainbow colors. The StarDust allowed the Espers to trust one another, placing fear under the guidance of their awareness and wisdom, and enabling them to

    One Daily Tale was a special book. It was written with magic, and the 7 Shapes themselves spent their time reflecting on how to write and present the important—yet simple—points of the concept, which was linked to harmony with nature and peace for the living creatures of Esperia. This was when Faya stood up a

    In a world without the 7 Shapes, humankind had to develop without knowledge, without awareness. This marked the beginning of a world based on the survival of the fittest, where physical strength became the natural way to survive—without knowing how to communicate, unable to trust one another, and instinctively fearing others. Without an understanding of

    When the Eclipse took place and Eklea vanished, the Shadows of every Esper began whispering thoughts that made them feel certain—they believed they were right, doing what was right, all while thinking they were fully aware.But in truth, the Shadows had gently slipped blinders over their eyes, making them unable to see the real truth.

    Guruko was raised on a small island, hidden from the rest of the world. She lived with her Grandma Luna, who often reminded her: “Listening is a gift you should use as often as you can.” Her closest companion was a platypus who fancied himself a philosophical writer. Guruko had named him Cha Cha. Taking

    Vati, the Shape of Wisdom, wasn’t born knowing everything.She gathered her wisdom slowly, over time—bit by bit—always checking to see if what she knew was still true. At first, learning didn’t excite her. To be honest, she thought it was dull. She would’ve much rather chatted with Gurumin or watched Kenko perform his dazzling flips
