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.”

    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

    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

    The Wind Mirror is one of the Five Great Elemental Artifacts, born from the Clash of the Elements at the end of the Chaos War, when the Five Elements cast their strongest spells together at the same time—creating the StarDust. You know how a mirror works, right? You look into it, and it reflects your

     …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

    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,

    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

    Until the 7 Shapes worked together to create the foundations of One Daily Tale, Esperia wasn’t the harmonious land we had described! It took much effort and time for the Espers to finally realize that preserving the land they lived in was the obvious common goal to pursue. Even though the Espers could create magic

    Of all the courses in Esperia, Faya’s lessons on how to build willpower were certainly among the most energetic. As expected from the Shape of Fire! To inspire the young listeners in her course, she created a lesson called “The Power of Action.” She would say:“When you take action toward a goal, you position your
