A Shared Pool of Willpower

The StarDust, like all things, is governed by rules. With Vati’s guidance, the Seven Shapes soon came to understand this.

And one of these rules concerned Willpower, and how its use was like drawing from a shared pool. Whenever an Esper used their will to take on tasks that were frustrating or required deep focus, a portion was withdrawn.

Whatever the action, the pool was the same.

Faya realized that understanding this principle was essential. For the Espers to strive toward becoming their better selves—and to support the entire community by doing so—they needed to understand this part of who they were.

“We must nurture the fire within us. Using it can make it grow, but if we push too far, it fades.”

“Atma reminds us that balance must be respected. When you use your fire, you must also rest. And because you cannot burn for everything, you must choose what truly matters to you and where you direct your energy.”

    Since she was little, Guruko liked to run in the hills near the small house where she lived with Grandma Luna. She loved climbing trees, rocks, and feeling the touch of the ground on her feet, as well as the smell of the grass when lying down for a quick break. Cha Cha, even as

    When Guruko was still very young and learning so much from Grandma Luna—about how the Espers lived, and how Esperia was a land of harmony—there was one thing she found hard to understand.It was something a bit like meditation, as humans know it. “The path to grow the seed of Eklea is surely the most

    Grandma Luna had a mysterious aura around her. Her warm smile and gentle eyes always comforted Guruko whenever she felt a bit sad or lonely. Yet, Grandma Luna often stared at the sky with a hint of melancholy in her gaze. But when Guruko entered the room, a bright smile would instantly return to her

     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
