One Daily Tale

🌎

Again and Again

Even though Esperia had finally become a haven of peace, some Espers still remained reluctant to make efforts they had never made before.
In particular, for those whose inner Shadow was predominant, the principles of One Daily Tale sounded like reproaches, again and again.

“Why do I need to follow these rules now, when before I was free to do nothing?” complained an Esper from a powerful lineage.

“But it is by following them every day that we can develop our StarDust… You yourself said that when it was revealed to everyone, it was the first time you had ever felt that,” his son replied.

His father remained speechless for a few moments, slightly moved by that magical instant when all the Espers had been overwhelmed by the light hidden within them.

“Yes, you are right, but it is not easy to form new habits. Especially at my age.”

“But that is why we must do it daily. Again and again. That is what we are taught. Our StarDust needs time to grow,” his son answered back.

    In a small village in the Land of Lightning lived a young Esper named Roboka. In a completely natural way, she imitated and repeated every action and gesture, not only of the other villagers, but also of the animals of the forest! Watching her try her very best to reproduce the sounds of fantastical creatures,…

    The task of rebuilding Esperia was daunting. If the consequences still seemed imperceptible, almost nonexistent, the damage had indeed been done. Aether, the life source of the planet, had been greatly reduced, and the natural process of its regeneration was slow—far slower than its consumption through the use of Esper magic. From now on, one…

    To rebuild Esperia on healthy foundations for all, it had become clear that it was necessary to reach a fair judgment of what is good and what is bad. “Easier said than done…” thought the Espers who had already reflected on this, yet also saw this idea as utopian and unrealistic. Vati, the Shape of…

    When we take a moment to look at the things around us, we see that rather than being still, they are made of cycles, of movements back and forth, of highs and lows. Even if it is not directly visible to our eyes, light and sound are waves that also have an oscillating motion. That…

    The notion of time passing is difficult to perceive, even for the Espers, who were now gifted with the ability to use magic. Though it had made life easier for everyone, it had not changed their relationship with the flow of time. Projecting oneself into the future is not an easy thing, especially when that…

    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,…

    Vingel was an Esper of the Fire element whose appearance resembled that of a small dog. For many years, he had asked himself existential questions without ever truly finding answers. The reason for existence. The purpose of life. Little by little, it had exhausted him, and he eventually lost motivation for everything he did. He…
