Becoming One Whole

The discovery of the StarDust by the Espers marked the beginning of a new era of peace, led by the Seven Shapes.

The StarDust was the perfect example of the Five Elements blending to become one whole.

When they decided to write about it, the Seven Shapes thought deeply about this idea.

“From the beginning, the Five Elements could mix together to create the StarDust, yet we didn’t even know about it…” said Vati.

“Yes, we knew about each other’s magical powers, yet we couldn’t grasp this. And now that we know about it, it feels so strange to think about the time when we didn’t know!” exclaimed Eklea.

“Becoming one whole is true for the Five Elements, and it is also true for all living beings. It was only when this idea became natural in the minds of the Espers that peace could finally be reached in Esperia,” said Faya.

“But there is still work to do, and this must be done day after day,” added Shala.

    The end of the Chaos War had nevertheless, despite the ecological and civilizational devastation it had caused, brought with it perhaps, at last, the solutions needed to build a society living in harmony with nature and at peace. Vati, the Shape of Wisdom, then spoke. “When the Eclipse cast a veil over the StarDust that…

    Balance, represented by Atma, the Shape of Balance, one of the Seven Shapes who had devoted herself to rebuilding Esperia in harmony with nature, as well as among the Espers of the Five elements, now held a special place within Esper civilization. The Seven Shapes had indeed come to understand that balance had to lie…

    The aftermath of the Chaos War on Esperia no longer resembled what it once had been. The use of magic was now subject to restrictions, which had profoundly changed the course of things: there was far less urgency, and far more contemplation of the present moment. Something that had long been forgotten during the period…

    The presence of Atma, the Shape of Balance, had brought something precious and unprecedented to Esperia: a simpler understanding of the importance of balance. Why was this so important for the Espers who were trying to build a civilization in harmony with their planet? Because every action has consequences. There are, of course, the consequences…

    Developing the element of Fire within one’s StarDust is certainly one of the most counterintuitive things to do. Why? Because it requires us to do things that frustrate us or that we simply do not feel like doing. It means holding back from eating or drinking too much, even during a truly delicious meal. It…

    On Esperia too, health was often at the center of discussions, and for a good reason: seeing suffering is not something one wishes for, neither for oneself, nor for loved ones, nor for strangers, nor even for those who may have caused us harm. This last point may certainly lead to another debate, but a…

    Eklea, the Shape of Awareness, was giving a lesson today at the Great Library of Esperia. Rebuilding the civilization of the Espers would take time and require everyone’s efforts toward a goal understood and embraced by all. That was no small task, was it? Especially if one looked back at the events of the past,…

When they are captivated by the grandeur of the sky and its billions of constellations during a night beneath the stars. When the ebb and flow of the ocean waves sing them…
