Compassionate and Generous

Guruko and her platypus friend Simba were reading a part of One Daily Tale about compassion.

It was titled “About Being Compassionate and Generous” and was written by Gurumin, the Shape of Empathy, with the help of the other Shapes, as always.
Among the Seven Shapes, Guruko especially admired Gurumin, and she truly considered her to be her role model.

Not only was Gurumin a strong Wind magic user as the Great Element of Wind, but she was also the true image of a good person.

Guruko also loved to listen to her songs. Gurumin was well known for her ability to soothe the hearts of all the Espers of Esperia through her beautiful voice, gently carried by the breeze of the wind.

And when Guruko learned more about Gurumin’s background story, she was even more moved and liked her even more.

Indeed, Gurumin became the Shape of Empathy through dedicated time and effort, and she was respected by everyone for that.

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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…
