One Daily Tale

🌎

Arrogance

While the end of the Chaos War brought a sudden state of peace to Esperia, the way the StarDust worked ushered in a period of necessary adaptation.

The Seven Shapes did their best through the work of One Daily Tale, but the lingering Shadow within many Espers still prevailed over their StarDust.

Yakara was a powerful Esper who had been consumed by arrogance. Gifted from birth, he soon began to look down on others and lacked any sense of humility.

Eklea and Yakara were both of the Lightning Element, but their approaches could not have been more different.

Eklea did her best to help other Espers understand their StarDust and their Shadow.

Yakara, admired for his talent, attracted many young followers—but he used their admiration to further his own cause.

“Yakara is indeed very dangerous,” said Eklea. “His talents are real, but his actions may lead to yet another war…”

    Shala, the Shape of Time, understood better than anyone how powerful habits were for the Espers. To nurture their StarDust, it was important that those habits be as healthy and beneficial to society as possible. Why? Because time each day is limited, and the StarDust functions in a special way: a few minutes of daily…

    It is now widely accepted that climate change is happening—and that its consequences are rather bleak. On top of that, we also understand that the fuels causing this crisis are limited, as are all resources on our shared planet, Earth. Meanwhile, the entire system remains rooted in a growth-oriented economy that fails to take into…

    Isn’t it easy to simply watch what’s in front of our eyes and go on with our own lives? Yet what we can see now extends far beyond our neighborhood — the entire world is at our doorstep. Of course, no one can carry all the world’s problems on their own shoulders. But that doesn’t…

    Kenko, the Shape of Health, was certain of one thing: unless the basic needs of the Espers were made a priority, Esperia would never know true peace. The right to proper sleep, and access to healthy food and clean water for all, were the very first steps toward creating a harmonious society. These fundamentals were…

    The Shape of Awareness and Element of Lightning, Eklea, had quite an electric temperament. She loved to bounce from place to place, and as swiftly as roaring thunder, she would try to teach consciousness to anyone willing to listen. But when someone was truly all ears, she could also calm down, creating a gentle electrical…

    Does this title sound cliché? I guess so. But is it true? Absolutely. Of course, the word love carries as many meanings as there are human beings on our shared planet. For most of us, the first love we experience is that of our mother, who carries us for months and cares for us by…

    Cha Cha, our platypus friend, was thinking about what the “Modern World” had become—and how paradoxical it was. Thanks to new technologies that turned machines into the world’s new servants, life had become easier for some of the richest countries. But this comfort came at the cost of irreversible damage to the environment—damage that was…

    Before the end of the Chaos War, the concept of moderation scarcely existed among the Espers. They preferred to spend their time wielding magic and battling one another, unaware of the consequences. The birth of Atma, the Shape of Balance, transformed life in Esperia. The Seven Shapes placed moderation as a core principle in the…
