One Daily Tale

🌎

Anachronism

Once again, Guruko and Cha Cha, her platypus friend, were discussing the human society they had discovered through a magical mirror.

“Do you believe that on Earth, peace and harmony could prevail if they knew about One Daily Tale?” Guruko asked softly.

“It saddens me to see how some innocent children are suffering in certain places, while the rest of the world remains indifferent. Maybe we could go there and tell everyone that they, too, have a StarDust inside them!” she continued, hope shining in her eyes.

“You are very kind and compassionate. But even if they were to know about it, it would be too soon for them—an anachronism taking root in their history,” thought Cha Cha.

“Esperia was special, as the end of the Chaos War brought StarDust as evidence for all the Espers of that planet. Change was possible because everyone was aware at that time… For change to happen on Earth, a similar phenomenon might be required. But they don’t have magic like us.”

“They do have magic like us!” replied Guruko.

Cha Cha looked surprised.

“They have their StarDust, don’t they?”

Cha Cha smiled.

“You’re right. Things could change when they realize that.”

    After the Chaos War, the entire planet Esperia had to be reconsidered from a new perspective. During the years of war, and through the relentless use of magic to sustain it, irreversible damage had been done to the environment. One thing was certain: the conditions of life were going to change drastically, and everyone, without…

    Thinking about how to solve climate issues, global inequalities, or the potential threats caused by new technologies was not enough for the Seven Shapes. They had understood that, for things to change, these topics had to become natural subjects of discussion. Because to solve problems, one must first become aware of them. Little by little,…

    Reflecting on societal problems, the environmental crisis, and the frantic race toward new technologies, once again promising control over the world, plunges anyone who truly examines them into a deep sense of despair in the face of global and systematic inaction. Taking action in response to these problems nevertheless allows one to ease their own…

    Under the reign of Taseki, known as the Conquering Emperor, the Espers of Fire were subjected to the most vehement propaganda against the other elements. The others were portrayed as potential threats and demonized in order to strip away every trace of empathy toward them. Under the pretext that the other elements would be able…

    Even in the land of the element of Earth, which was supposed to represent Health above all else, comfort and changes in lifestyle since the beginning of the use of magic had transformed the daily lives of the Espers. Zeiniku was probably the typical example of a sedentary person, seeing himself above all as free…

    The Age of Magic had given life to new machines, which were also capable of creating, writing, or speaking. Just like the Espers, they were capable of inventing stories and creating virtual worlds. For the Espers, distinguishing fiction from reality was becoming increasingly difficult in a world where the virtual and the real were blending…

Like the Seven Shapes, who had joined their forces in an attempt to make the world fairer for everyone, he had understood that, for this to work, the values that needed to be brought forward were camaraderie and solidarity. But not…

    Lune Lune, our little cat friend of the Water element, had been taken in by Guruo. Guruo, who was trying to do his very best, appeared to some of the others as if he were deliberately trying to be the teachers’ favorite. There was, of course, a great deal of jealousy, which also revealed a…
