A Simple Speck Among the Stars

Before the Chaos War, amid the agitation of the world, Cha Cha often took the time to reflect, going against the need to always move faster in the society in which he lived.

Yet when admiring the sky and its stars, it is so easy to realize just how each person is nothing more than a simple speck among the multitude of stars.

If the vastness of the Universe can sometimes even become frightening, so vast and immense, realizing it also allows one to understand one’s own smallness.

The theory of the StarDust that he had developed also referred to this: its name evoked the Universe, and reflecting upon it could restore a little humility to anyone who took the time to think about it.

The Espers had taken control of the entire planet Esperia.

But few had developed their StarDust, and therefore few had truly understood who they themselves were.

For their Shadow was often unknown to them. The Espers no longer took the time to learn to listen to their inner voice, which was nevertheless a part of themselves.

The theory of the StarDust was perhaps the means to revolutionize this understanding for every Esper.

    Sowing the Seeds of Awareness

    Each Esper saw the world in a different way. But the reality of the physical world in which they all lived was, indeed, shared by all. In this context, some Espers were more aware of their vision of the world and of how closely it reflected reality. Children, who were born without any knowledge, could…

    A Simple Speck Among the Stars

    The Espers throughout the world had the unfortunate tendency to think of themselves as the center of the world. And with good reason, each one was truly the main character of their own story, so how could they be blamed for putting their choices or their own well-being and comfort first? But sometimes, or even…

    Reflecting on a Global Education

    Before the Chaos War, Esperia had never been so divided over matters that, nevertheless, had previously been understood among the five elemental lands. Tensions were rising, trust was at its lowest, between the elements, but also within some of the lands themselves. Inequalities continued to grow between the winners of an exacerbated globalization and those…

    What Do We Really Need?

    It was a question that often came up in the debates at the Great Library of Esperia, which, since the end of the Chaos War, had served Espers from all over the world as a place to exchange ideas, discuss, and try to find compromises on difficult issues. The Chaos War had indeed brought to…

    Investing Time Every Day

    The civilization of the Espers before the Chaos War had gradually become accustomed to having everything done almost instantly. Waiting was becoming unbearable for many of them, and a long-term perspective seemed like nothing more than a vague memory of the past. Now that the StarDust was better understood, however, it seemed obvious that investing…

    Perceiving Reality

    The development of the civilization of the Espers, greatly accelerated by the use of magic for decades, had gradually distanced them from reality. The reality of a physical world with limited resources, shared by everyone. Some indeed believed that by blaming the other elemental regions, or by choosing not to get their own hands dirty…

    Choosing Is Difficult

    Faya, the Shape of Willpower and a great element of Fire, had chosen this title to lead a debate about taking responsibility and the choices each Esper had to make regarding it. Even though the end of the Chaos War had brought a brief moment of communion for all, with the StarDust appearing before everyone’s…

    In All Simplicity

    It is very easy and natural to believe that we are the center of the Earth. And in a society increasingly concerned with individual freedoms, this way of thinking can only spread. Yet it is just as easy to take even a few minutes to reflect on the situation as a whole. By zooming out,…
