One Daily Tale

🌎

A short period of power

What was unprecedented on Esperia was how detached from power and status the founders of One Daily Tale were.

The Seven Shapes were mainly symbols of what good behavior toward one’s StarDust could lead to: harmony and peace.

They were living examples of what they wrote as guides for everyone, themselves included.

In the past, Esperia was divided into five lands, one for each of the elements, and within each of them, the Espers fought one another in an attempt to reach the top, if only to display some status for a short period of time.

Not only that, but the Elements also battled each other endlessly, trying to become the most dominant, even if only for a few days.

“When you think about it, it sounds so silly… But in order to be able to think about it at all, it requires time and detachment from the current situation,” analyzed Vati, the Shape of Wisdom.

“To be honest, this is often the case for many young civilizations. I have seen so many, across the different dimensions I am able to perceive. Esperia was able to reach maturity through the development of StarDust before it was too late…” said Shala.

“Too late?” Eklea asked.

“Yes. So many civilizations have destroyed themselves before realizing what was truly inside of them.”

    Mistakes are part of development: nobody is perfect, right?Trial and error is the first way we begin to learn. But as adults, we often develop the tendency to no longer own our mistakes.Sometimes, to the point of denying the truth.

    Guruko loved the tales of Gurumin, The Shape of Empathy, most of all. She always felt her heart moved by how simple things—like smiling, listening to others, or simply being here—could achieve so much. But she was also aware of the reality of the “modern world” on Earth. She knew it wasn’t that simple. The

    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

    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
