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…

    Once in a Lifetime

    Shala would ask the young Espers what came to their minds when thinking about events that occur only once in a lifetime. A very intrepid child replied first: “The birth of my younger sister!” “Indeed, the birth of a new life is something that becomes a great challenge for the parents.” Vati added: “Raising a…

  • As One

    As One

    The message of One Daily Tale was simple. The Five Elements working together in balance were the key to a bright StarDust for an Esper. This led to an Esper who could now consciously face his inner Shadow—something hidden from him without the light of his own StarDust. Those enlightened Espers could become living examples…

  • Consistency of words and actions

    Consistency of words and actions

    After they created One Daily Tale, the Seven Shapes knew this was only the first step toward a peaceful Esperia. “From now on, the real challenge begins,” thought Vati, who understood better than anyone that while truth could be written with words, actions and behaviors did not always follow naturally. This was when Faya stepped…

    Gratitude for basic needs

    There was a saying that Kenko liked a lot, and though it did not directly concern health, she appreciated the idea behind it, as it reflected the principles taught by the other Shapes as well. “You should be grateful for the little things you receive — whether it is simple lodging or a meal.” Kenko…

    Third Eye

    Eklea liked to use concrete examples to explain abstract notions that were difficult to grasp, especially for the younger Espers. This time, she used the example of a one-versus-one game played by two Espers. The game had a lot of depth, and a well-timed move could completely change the tide of the match. She said,…

  • Pure and Upright

    Pure and Upright

    The Five Elements were representations of the dimensional layers that had to be blended in order to truly understand one’s inner self. Empathy was one of them, and when the Seven Shapes worked on a good description of compassion, they thought about what they saw in Gurumin: pureness. Her character and attitude were pure and…

  • Improve each other

    Improve each other

    The Espers soon understood that a good way to grow was to do so alongside others. Why? Because rivalry can spark motivation, creating a natural positive cycle in which the more you improve, the more others do as well. Vati and Faya also knew that sometimes competition could become too harsh, and they reminded the…

  • Learn from others’ mistakes

    Learn from others’ mistakes

    Though Esperia had finally managed to create a stable society, nothing was perfect. Many Espers still opposed the new rules set by the Seven Shapes. But this too served as a lesson to grow from. Every Esper is different, and the ways we adapt to new situations differ as well. The Shadows of some Espers…
