Consideration for the future

The Espers weren’t creatures made to consider the future as their first priority.
They were similar to human beings in many ways: they had to eat and rest.

Esperia, their planet, also had a star it revolved around, creating a cycle of day and night that influenced when they were awake or asleep.

With all these considerations in mind, looking toward the future was difficult for most of them, if they were not taught or reminded to do so.

The Seven Shapes understood this clearly, with the help of Eklea, the Shape of Awareness, who often reminded them that they also needed to be mindful of the future.

Shala, the Shape of Time, couldn’t directly interact with the Espers, as she was a transcendent entity across spacetime and countless dimensions.

Yet her presence was well known, and remembering her was very helpful for the Espers in keeping the future in mind.

By doing so, they were finally able to build Esperia—a world now at peace, living in harmony with nature, guided by the writings of One Daily Tale…

    The task of rebuilding Esperia was daunting. If the consequences still seemed imperceptible, almost nonexistent, the damage had indeed been done. Aether, the life source of the planet, had been greatly reduced, and the natural process of its regeneration was slow—far slower than its consumption through the use of Esper magic. From now on, one

    To rebuild Esperia on healthy foundations for all, it had become clear that it was necessary to reach a fair judgment of what is good and what is bad. “Easier said than done…” thought the Espers who had already reflected on this, yet also saw this idea as utopian and unrealistic. Vati, the Shape of

    When we take a moment to look at the things around us, we see that rather than being still, they are made of cycles, of movements back and forth, of highs and lows. Even if it is not directly visible to our eyes, light and sound are waves that also have an oscillating motion. That

    The notion of time passing is difficult to perceive, even for the Espers, who were now gifted with the ability to use magic. Though it had made life easier for everyone, it had not changed their relationship with the flow of time. Projecting oneself into the future is not an easy thing, especially when that

    Esperia was in an extremely delicate situation. The planet itself would continue to exist for millions and millions of years to come. But for the living beings who inhabited it, the situation was far more complicated. Years of ecosystem destruction and the damage inflicted upon the environment of their planet had given rise to chaos,

    Vingel was an Esper of the Fire element whose appearance resembled that of a small dog. For many years, he had asked himself existential questions without ever truly finding answers. The reason for existence. The purpose of life. Little by little, it had exhausted him, and he eventually lost motivation for everything he did. He

    The use of magic by the Espers transformed their world in a radical way. Not only had it forever changed the ecosystem of their planet, but it had also greatly complicated their society. For although magic had allowed such systems to be created, for an Esper, on an individual scale, their senses and the reach
