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.”

    The Espers of the fire element had built a reputation for always fighting, even in the most unfavorable situations. They had naturally understood that this was how their fire element grew. Even if it sometimes seems counterintuitive, having your back against the wall is sometimes simpler; but it is also when we have a choice

    The question of health is not simple. It must be considered not only from the perspective of an individual, for whom a balanced diet and regular physical exercise are important, but also from the perspective of the group and society, as mental health is often closely connected there. Kenko, the Shape of Health, had fully

    Guruko and her platypus companion were once again looking, through their magical mirror, at what was happening on a mysterious planet from another universe than their own.

The Espers of the Wind element were certainly the closest to this state of mind. Even as adults, they had often kept their childlike hearts, showing a radiant, authentic, and sincere smile. To

    Imagine for a moment an ocean of grand beauty, with shimmering waves, golden under the sun and silver beneath the moonlight. These waves come and go, sometimes gently, sometimes more vigorously, yet always in this back-and-forth motion that creates a balance. It was this image that had become present in the minds of the Espers

    Despite their ability to use magic by consuming the Aether of their planet, the Espers had great difficulty perceiving the world on timescales beyond their own. Indeed, their senses did not naturally allow them to grasp such realities; the present moment or a much nearer future would then dominate their thoughts and lead them to
