Beauty in sunny and rainy days

“Why can’t every day be sunny? I don’t like it when it rains…” asked a young Esper.

“Your point of view is very understandable,” replied Atma, the Shape of Balance.

“But think about this: if it were sunny all the time, the nature of Esperia would be completely different, as it needs rain to grow.”

“Oh, I didn’t think about that,” he acknowledged.

“Some people misunderstand balance as a flat, unmovable line. But in truth, it looks much more like the waves of the ocean, going back and forth with a gentle rhythm.”

“This kind of cycle can be seen in many daily things, and the weather you just noticed is one of them.”

“So, do we always need to accept things as they are?” asked the now-intrigued young Esper.

“Until now, the Espers have used their magic as they pleased, without thinking of the consequences for the natural landscape of Esperia.”

“While it made their lives easier, it had consequences for the flow of Aether, which is the source of not only their magic, but all life on Esperia.”

“It is possible to keep harmony when we also understand the beauty in both sunny and rainy days.”

    Every Esper of Esperia acknowledged one thing about Gurumin, the Shape of Empathy: there was something special about her. It was somewhat difficult to explain, but her behavior always smelled of pureness, and this led her to become the living image of fairness and justice as well. Why? Because being able to feel compassion for

    “Every moment is a once-in-a-lifetime event,” Shala, the Shape of Time, would often remind the young Espers. From an objective point of view, as the Espers were living beings, the time they were able to spend was limited; thus, every single event is one that will never happen again. Even if circumstances may seem similar—for

    Esperia didn’t become the world we know it as—one of peace and harmony—in a day, nor easily. Every Esper had to go through hardships, but the end of the Chaos War finally became a much-needed rallying point, uniting and combining the desire for true peace for everyone. “Every Esper, at their own level, would have
