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”…

    Perspective

    When the StarDust first appeared before the Five Elements, and the Espers who had battled for an endless time, it brought an eerie sensation of plenitude and stillness. Gazing at this mysterious, warm, and bright light—irised with beautiful rainbow colours that flowed gently, like an evident dance—for the first time, the Five Elements could see…

    Sad but True

    Climate change caused by humans is a fact. In just a few hundred years, the use—and abuse—of fossil fuels to develop “human civilization” has shaped a world whose dire consequences we can only begin to fathom. If you live in a wealthy and politically stable country—one that has almost certainly reached this state through environmental…

    Mental Overload

    Simba, our lovely little monkey-like creature, heard something extremely valuable. Not only does the body have limits, but so does the mind! If you exercise too much, it can lead to injuries. The same is true for mental health. The mind is like a reservoir that can fill with all kinds of emotions. Sometimes it…

    Initial Condition

    Eklea, the Shape of Awareness, often reminded her students that the Initial Condition of a situation has a significant impact on its outcome. Does that seem obvious? Perhaps—if you’ve thought about it. Does it mean we are bound by where we start? Of course not. But realizing that the starting point is not the same…

You know how a mirror works, right? You look into it, and it reflects your…

    Where ignorance is bliss…

     …it is folly to be wise. Cha Cha reflected on this sentence. It was written in the 18th century by an English poet. At that time, all energy sources were renewable, with little risk of real damage to the environment, as everything was powered by natural elements or living beings. Sadly, history also shows that…

    The Chaos War

    It took quite a long time before the Shape of Balance, Atma, and the meaning behind the word “Balance” finally became one of the accepted and evident keys to harmony in Esperia. In principle, it’s simple! In a world with limited resources, there is a clear need for restraint among the living beings who share,…

    Past, Present and Future

    Shala, the Shape of Time, created a lesson about the Past, Present, and Future. “For ordinary living beings who haven’t developed their StarDust yet, it is very difficult to grasp the Scales of Time. Because, in fact, it’s a paradox: it’s not natural to be able to perceive them.” “We all know we live in…
