    A Pure Heart

    The meeting between Cha Cha, our platypus friend, and Guruko, a young Esper from the Valley of the Wind, was the spark that revealed the compassion buried within him. Guruko was pure and innocent, which gave her a charming beauty. This contrasted with Cha Cha, who had little by little lost sight of that light,…

    Shared Prosperity

    Cha Cha, Guruko’s little platypus companion, continued to reflect and write every day. His journey so far had been rather chaotic, but it was precisely what had allowed him to develop his current vision of the world as a whole. He had grown up in the country of the lightning element, but both of his…

    Joyful and open-minded

    Are these qualities not those of children? Full of life, joy, and curiosity, they ask questions that many adults have stopped asking. 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…

    Sensitive Heart

    The daily and common use of magic by the Espers had changed their relationship not only with their planet, shared by all, but also the relationship they had with one another. This did not happen overnight, but little by little, relationships based on trust eroded as the use of magic intensified day after day. Magic…

    A Saving Smile

    The Espers of the element of Wind had naturally understood that a smile held something unique. Even in complicated situations, a simple smile could soften the atmosphere and restore the possibility of dialogue. However, this smile must be sincere, and not just a trick meant to take advantage of the kindness of others. It is…

    Radiant and Innocent

    The youngest Espers all shared the radiant and innocent purity that belongs to children. This allowed them to naturally use the Wind element, regardless of their base element. Now that the link between magic and the StarDust had been established, the Espers finally understood that every magic was in reality the emanation of their own…

    Kind and Sincere

    Since the creation and publication of the writings of One Daily Tale, the Espers of all the Five Elements now had personal tasks to accomplish every day. These tasks concerned the development of each of the elements, and for the Wind, it was about cultivating empathy. At first, of course, the Espers, often unaccustomed to…

    Inhuman

    History has shown many times how human beings have been capable of atrocities toward other human beings. The irony is that in the age of AI, these same humans praise the greatness of humanity, claiming that AI will never be able to have feelings or experience emotions. Yet we are also living in a time…

    Cruel and Heartless

    “Have you ever hurt someone you love despite yourself?” asks Gurumin, the Shape of Empathy, to the Espers gathered for today’s discussion. “When I’m upset, I sometimes say things I don’t truly mean,” replies a young Esper. “Under the influence of strong emotions, we are indeed sometimes led to lose control of our actions—even with…

    Positive discussions

    There was an expression used in Esperia for situations in which opinions were enthusiastically exchanged and discussion was lively: “like the wind blowing.”But it is no surprise to us that the Element of Wind is involved, is it? Empathy can lead to debates that bear fruit, because the participants can tolerate opinions different from their…
