Common Values

Since meeting Guruko, Lune Lune, our little cat of the water element, had come to understand what the Seven Shapes, and especially Vati, the Shape of Wisdom, were striving to accomplish in order to finally bring harmony to the world.

Nurturing the StarDust that existed within every Esper could become the foundation of shared values for all the Espers on the planet, regardless of their age, gender, or origin.

Guruko, who did not know her own origins, was often the target of mockery from some of her classmates, who had not yet understood that, whatever their element, every individual was part of a greater whole. Differences would always exist, but they should never become a source of fear or hatred.

“Education, from the earliest age, is extremely important,” thought Lune Lune, saddened whenever he witnessed such attitudes, always stepping in whenever he saw discriminatory behavior.

“Shared values that help the StarDust grow… Values that, until now, have not existed, or have sometimes even worked against it.”

“Instead of being mocked, individuals like Guruko, who do their very best to nurture their own StarDust, should be admired and celebrated. Yet history has so often remembered only conquerors, dictators, and emperors…”

“It is not about rewriting history, but about finally embracing a system that is fair for everyone, built upon solid foundations. That is the very purpose of the work of the Seven Shapes with One Daily Tale…”

    A Sick Society

    The world before the Chaos War displayed many symptoms of a sick society, rotten to the core with heightened individual desires.

    Global Vision of the World

    For centuries, the Espers of the different elemental regions had developed without understanding that they were part of a whole.

    Giving Your Trust

    The Seven Shapes continued to study the Shadow of the civilization of the Espers that had been perceived when the StarDust was revealed before everyone’s eyes.

    Learning to Think

    Vati, the Shape of Wisdom, had spent a long time thinking about which pillars were essential for creating a society in which harmony between peoples from different backgrounds would be possible, while also trying to preserve the ecosystem in which they lived.

    The Importance of Nuance

    The values of Esper civilization, decided following the end of the Chaos War, had been chosen not without difficulty, after sometimes long and tedious, yet essential, discussions about points and subjects that had never truly been addressed before.

    What Will the World Look Like for Future Generations

    If the answer to this question can only be a matter of supposition, one thing is certain: it is the choices made today that will shape the future for generations to come. The Seven Shapes understood well that the Espers, and their Shadow even more so, were creatures naturally inclined to think of themselves first.…

  • A Movement on Two Fronts

    A Movement on Two Fronts

    For the Seven Shapes, it had become obvious. To rebuild Esperia on sound foundations, it was necessary to act on two fronts simultaneously. The first was the systemic level: institutions needed to find the courage to impose laws consistent with shared values embraced by all the lands of the planet. The second was the development…

  • Being an Adult

    Being an Adult

    At what moment do we truly become adults? Is it simply a question of age? Of experience? Isn’t being an adult, in the end, the awareness of our own responsibility toward others, and in particular toward future generations? In their desire to rebuild Esperia on healthier foundations, the Seven Shapes had placed this notion of…
