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.”

    When the Seven Shapes decided to try to rally the Five Elements behind a single cause, it seemed unrealistic, almost utopian. How could they change all the Espers, who until then had been fighting endlessly? And if the Esperia we have come to know together every day is now a haven of peace, at the

    Reflecting on the societal problems they faced, the Seven Shapes had noticed something thanks to the presence of Atma, the Form of Balance: the Espers had grown so accustomed to seeing extraordinary things that daily routine had become too boring for them, almost unbearable. But on a planet with limited resources, the ordinary and the

    The question of mortality had been debated for thousands of years on Esperia.Like many civilizations, the fear of the unknown had led different beings to create reasons for their existence and to find interpretations for the signs given by nature. “The question of time and existence is truly complicated,” worried Vati, the Shape of Wisdom.“Atma,

    Guiding the young Espers to develop their talents and not leaving them to fend for themselves had become a priority on Esperia. For a better future, society as a whole must become better. This had become the leitmotif of Esperia’s renewal since the end of the War of Chaos. The Seven Shapes had realized how

    The Seven Shapes had understood one thing: no Esper was born with knowledge of the world, its history, or its tragedies. For the young, sometimes left to themselves, they had understood that it was more than necessary to establish a charter capable of guiding them. Thus, Faya, the Shape of Will, thought that having a

    In today’s lesson led by Kenko, the Shape of Health, the discussion was about the connection between physical and mental strength. A young Esper, a little surprised, asked:“Is there a connection between the two? I don’t really understand…” Kenko smiled gently. “Yes, the link is not easily visible if we have not taken the time

    In a world where magic was queen and everything seemed possible, the priorities that were nevertheless essential had long been set aside.Not by deliberate choice. But simply through a lack of clarity, humility, and empathy. The Espers of the Five Elements did not know that they shared one single planet, now called Esperia.They did not

    History has shown many times how human beings have been capable of atrocities toward other human beings. The irony is that in the age of AI, these same humans praise the greatness of humanity, claiming that AI will never be able to have feelings or experience emotions. Yet we are also living in a time
