    Incoherent System

    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…

    Values

    What we come to see as “good” values and the proper behaviors to follow are learned throughout our lives. As children, we naturally mimic the actions and thoughts we observe — through the words and gestures of our parents, siblings, teachers, or friends we play with. When we are still very young, we hold no…

    Enjoy Boredom

    The “modern world” now offers countless movies to watch, games to play, and things to own. Meanwhile, the physical realities of the world we live in have become invisible to us, in a society where “the sky is the limit” is the mantra of leading nations. Unfortunately, our planet Earth does have limits—limits we’ve come…

    When the 7 Shapes first began working on their project, they thought about how to make the best use of the StarDust.

    At Ease with Habits

    In Esperia, caring for one’s StarDust soon became one of the most important duties an Esper received from the youngest age. Why? Simply because the Seven Shapes understood that with healthy habits came the ease of accomplishing good things without needing much effort or attention. They also knew that with the existence of magic, Espers…

    Darkness and Starlight

    Cha Cha, our beloved platypus, gazed at the cloudless sky, illuminated by countless stars that made him reflect on how small his own existence was compared to the vastness of the universe. He thought about how the discovery of StarDust in Esperia was also the discovery of the Shadow. “If there is no light, we…

    A Common Ground

    When you think about it, planet Earth is just a rock floating through space around the Sun, carrying life upon it. Not so long ago, human beings were not even aware of this reality. Now we know we share a common ground with all living things—the air we breathe, the oceans, the soil beneath our…

    Perspective

    When the StarDust first appeared before the Five Elements, and the Espers who had battled for an endless time, it brought an eerie sensation of plenitude and stillness. Gazing at this mysterious, warm, and bright light—irised with beautiful rainbow colours that flowed gently, like an evident dance—for the first time, the Five Elements could see…
