A Unified Public Opinion

Esperia was in an extremely delicate situation.

The planet itself would continue to exist for millions and millions of years to come.

But for the living beings who inhabited it, the situation was far more complicated.

Years of ecosystem destruction and the damage inflicted upon the environment of their planet had given rise to chaos, which took its most tragically famous form in a global conflict now known as the Chaos War.

Esperia had been the stage of wars for centuries. Within the same country, despite belonging to the same element. Between the different elements.
The Espers did not seem capable of remaining at peace.

But if there was one thing that could finally change the situation, it was for everyone, regardless of their element, to share a unified public opinion.

Until then, no true rule or general guideline for all had ever been established.
And for good reason, the conflicts had hardly ceased, and none of the elements had yet truly realized that they were all part of the same whole.

The creation of a unified charter for all therefore seemed necessary and essential for a harmonious future for everyone.

Laws existed on the scale of a country belonging to one element. New laws now had to emerge on the scale of the planet, independently of the elements.

Yet nothing seemed to show any real signs of change.

    There was a saying that Kenko liked a lot, and though it did not directly concern health, she appreciated the idea behind it, as it reflected the principles taught by the other Shapes as well. “You should be grateful for the little things you receive — whether it is simple lodging or a meal.” Kenko…

    Third Eye

    Eklea liked to use concrete examples to explain abstract notions that were difficult to grasp, especially for the younger Espers. This time, she used the example of a one-versus-one game played by two Espers. The game had a lot of depth, and a well-timed move could completely change the tide of the match. She said,…

    Pure and Upright

    The Five Elements were representations of the dimensional layers that had to be blended in order to truly understand one’s inner self. Empathy was one of them, and when the Seven Shapes worked on a good description of compassion, they thought about what they saw in Gurumin: pureness. Her character and attitude were pure and…

  • Improve each other

    Improve each other

    The Espers soon understood that a good way to grow was to do so alongside others. Why? Because rivalry can spark motivation, creating a natural positive cycle in which the more you improve, the more others do as well. Vati and Faya also knew that sometimes competition could become too harsh, and they reminded the…

    Learn from others’ mistakes

    Though Esperia had finally managed to create a stable society, nothing was perfect. Many Espers still opposed the new rules set by the Seven Shapes. But this too served as a lesson to grow from. Every Esper is different, and the ways we adapt to new situations differ as well. The Shadows of some Espers…

    Day after day

    The habits we build, one small step at a time, are like seeds that must be nurtured gently but steadily each day in order to bear fruit. “One step a day, day after day,” could be a way of thinking that every Esper remembers when seeing Shala. A few minutes of training or work may…

    The Seven Shapes were discussing how Esperia had changed since the discovery of the StarDust. “Before, we didn’t even know we shared the same planet,” exclaimed Vati. “Nor did we know that all the different Elements are just parts of the same source, the StarDust,” thought Eklea. “It was a long journey that led us…

    What’s the best advice you could give to a child? Actually, more than words, it is how we behave each day that has the greatest influence on the education of the young. Faya, the Shape of Willpower, had mastered this principle and taught it in her own way. “It is our responsibility to act according…
