    Never stop learning

    Esperia had become a world of harmony. Vati reflected on how it had been chaos and war only a few hundred years ago… before the discovery of StarDust, the Shadow within every Esper, and the birth of Atma, the Shape of Balance. With the Great Library at the heart of Esperia, the Seven Shapes had…

    Values

    When working on One Daily Tale, Vati had the important task of creating the backbone of what “Wisdom” would be built upon. Of course, it was now understood that working with the StarDust, and learning about one’s own Shadow, was essential. But unfortunately, the history of wars between the Five Elements does not vanish so…

    A Blank Page

    When One Daily Tale was created from Vati’s vision, it was decided that prioritizing the education of the Espers from their earliest years was essential. “Children are like blank pages, ready to absorb any color. Now that we understand the existence of StarDust within every living being in Esperia, shouldn’t we fill this page with…

    The StarDust and the Shadow

    Vati, the Shape of Wisdom, stumbled upon the discovery of not only the StarDust, but also the Shadow. Every living creature possessed a Shadow that could be revealed only when its own StarDust was finally unlocked. Plants and animals held a natural balance between their StarDust and Shadow, but the Espers did not. This became…

Technologies have evolved, from the use of stone tools to the potential creation of autonomous AI. Yet Cha Cha was troubled by the sheer overflow of information in modern…

    Where ignorance is bliss…

     …it is folly to be wise. Cha Cha reflected on this sentence. It was written in the 18th century by an English poet. At that time, all energy sources were renewable, with little risk of real damage to the environment, as everything was powered by natural elements or living beings. Sadly, history also shows that…

    The Theory of Harmony

    When she wasn’t teaching at the Wisdom section of the Great Library of Esperia, Vati enjoyed spending time at the Fountain of Wisdom—the place where young Espers had their natural element revealed to them. She would sit nearby and reflect on many things. Vati was the one who first theorized the nature of harmony in…

    The Limits of the World

    Vati held one of the most challenging responsibilities as the Shape of Wisdom. She had to convince the Espers that they lived in a world with limitations. A very difficult task! For magic could be seen everywhere they looked! Many young Espers naturally believed that anything was possible—as long as they kept discovering new forms…

    Our own extinction?

    What kind of world are we going to leave behind for future generations?Can we really behave so selfishly that, even though we now fully understand how human behavior has impacted the world, we still choose to ignore what must be done—as if nothing will go terribly wrong if we continue doing nothing? Future generations, not…
