Challenge Accepted

One Daily Tale was a special book. It was written with magic, and the 7 Shapes themselves spent their time reflecting on how to write and present the important—yet simple—points of the concept, which was linked to harmony with nature and peace for the living creatures of Esperia.

This was when Faya stood up a bit and exclaimed, “Challenge accepted!”

It truly was a challenge—it meant writing something that could prevent wars and climate catastrophes, while promoting love, empathy, and wellness!

But that was also why it worked: the greater the challenge, the stronger the will to take it on. And so, not only Faya, but all the Shapes discussed and managed to write a book that could be read by anyone, as long as they desired it.

When it was Faya’s turn to write her part—about how overcoming difficulties makes people grow, and become the fire that drives them forward—all the other Shapes looked at her and smiled.

“We already know what this chapter will be called, right?”
