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.

The countless conflicts between the Five elements were gradually consuming this Aether. Indeed,…

    Faya, the Shape of Will, had understood how essential the environment was in shaping the daily behavior of the Espers. The Fire Espers, for example, had the habit of encouraging and motivating one another, which strengthened their Fire magic. This was not a common habit among Espers of the other elements, and their Fire magic…

A cunning Esper, himself rather arrogant, began to laugh and commented: “Another one who…

These tasks concerned the development of each of the elements, and for the Wind, it was about cultivating empathy. At first, of course, the Espers, often unaccustomed to…

    When the Seven Shapes decided to try to rally the Five Elements behind a single cause, it seemed unrealistic, almost utopian. How could they change all the Espers, who until then had been fighting endlessly? And if the Esperia we have come to know together every day is now a haven of peace, at the…
