One Daily Tale

A Shared Story

The Aftermath of the Chaos War had left Esperia scarred across its entire surface. This conflict, on a scale never seen before, had spared no corner of the planet…

How could they rebuild so that such a disaster for the entire planet’s ecosystem would finally and truly become a thing of the past?

At the heart of this catastrophe, a glimmer of hope had nevertheless appeared.

The StarDust.

It had revealed itself at the climax of the Chaos War, when the most powerful magical attacks of the Five elements combined, creating a light of a purity never witnessed before.

This event had also given birth to Atma, the Shape of balance.

For the first time in the civilization of the Espers, which had developed in parallel across the planet according to the five elements, a shared story could finally be written.

It was an obvious truth that, however, appeared to no one, because the Shadow of each individual still controlled each of their thoughts.

The StarDust now allowed them to perceive this Shadow.

It was in this context that those we know as the Seven Shapes wrote the shared story that would finally unite the Espers of the planet Esperia.

This story is called “One Daily Tale”…

    Among all, Vati was recognized as a true representation of Wisdom. But she liked to say that it was never a natural gift; it was nurtured with dedication and time. When asked how to persevere in becoming wiser, she would answer like this: “To keep an open mind and adapt to as many situations as…

    The Seven Shapes reflected on what balance was truly about. “This isn’t about stillness,” said Vati, who liked the image of a wave to represent balance. Atma, the Shape of Balance, gently nodded in agreement. In some cultures, this idea was shown as light opposing darkness; in others, as the Yin and the Yang. It…

    Shala, the Shape of Time, often discussed this topic with the other Shapes. Just like us humans, the Espers had a finite life. So how to spend their time until the end was a question that sparked many debates in Esperia. Some believed that since they had only a few years to live, living life…

    Is this reality truly understood? When we look at how the governments of the richest countries behave, it doesn’t seem so. A consensus on climate change should be obvious. “Because others don’t act, why should we? We’ll just lose the economic war.” Well, since we — unfortunately? — share the same boat, and it’s the…

    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,…

    This was one of the mottos of Kenko, the Shape of Health. “A bit of exercise every day is far more effective in the long run than one full day of training, followed by months of nothing.” Now that the StarDust is known by all the Espers, it makes complete sense. Shala always reminds the…

    Eklea and Vati soon became very good friends. Eklea, the Shape of Awareness, always loved asking questions, which came to her mind as swiftly as her Element of Lightning. In Vati, the Shape of Wisdom, she found a companion who would always listen and think along with her. Vati was often surprised by the questions…

    The Seven Shapes understood that for the Espers to act in unison, there needed to be shared values and goals — a common foundation for a new beginning. Gurumin, the Shape of Empathy, became a symbol of what must be protected, and of why working together was the only way forward. Her innocence was admired…
