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”…

    Balance, represented by Atma, the Shape of Balance, one of the Seven Shapes who had devoted herself to rebuilding Esperia in harmony with nature, as well as among the Espers of the Five elements, now held a special place within Esper civilization.

    The aftermath of the Chaos War on Esperia no longer resembled what it once had been. The use of magic was now subject to restrictions, which had profoundly changed the course of things: there was far less urgency, and far more contemplation of the present moment. Something that had long been forgotten during the period…

    The presence of Atma, the Shape of Balance, had brought something precious and unprecedented to Esperia: a simpler understanding of the importance of balance. Why was this so important for the Espers who were trying to build a civilization in harmony with their planet? Because every action has consequences. There are, of course, the consequences…

    Developing the element of Fire within one’s StarDust is certainly one of the most counterintuitive things to do. Why? Because it requires us to do things that frustrate us or that we simply do not feel like doing. It means holding back from eating or drinking too much, even during a truly delicious meal. It…

    On Esperia too, health was often at the center of discussions, and for a good reason: seeing suffering is not something one wishes for, neither for oneself, nor for loved ones, nor for strangers, nor even for those who may have caused us harm. This last point may certainly lead to another debate, but a…

    Eklea, the Shape of Awareness, was giving a lesson today at the Great Library of Esperia. Rebuilding the civilization of the Espers would take time and require everyone’s efforts toward a goal understood and embraced by all. That was no small task, was it? Especially if one looked back at the events of the past,…

    The adult Espers from all around the world sometimes rediscover the little child they once were. During a reunion with a childhood friend. When they are captivated by the grandeur of the sky and its billions of constellations during a night beneath the stars. When the ebb and flow of the ocean waves sing them…

    Since meeting Guruko, Lune Lune, our little cat of the water element, had come to understand what the Seven Shapes, and especially Vati, the Shape of Wisdom, were striving to accomplish in order to finally bring harmony to the world. Nurturing the StarDust that existed within every Esper could become the foundation of shared values…
