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 reality is that screens have taken over the world—smartphones, tablets, computers—all within just a few decades. We also now understand that, physiologically speaking, it is recommended for young children to avoid screens as much as possible and instead use paper books. It is better for their brain development. And when we consider that our

    Guruko was feeling ill. She began to develop a fever and had to lie in bed all the time, struggling to catch her breath. Cha Cha, her faithful platypus, was at her side—preparing food with the help of Grandma Luna and changing the cool towel on her forehead to help bring down the heat. When

    There was a place in the heart of the Land of the Shape of Wisdom, Esperia, where every young Esper had to visit when their StarDust began to take shape. It was called the Fountain of Wisdom. Deep beneath the ground of Esperia flowed a natural fountain, whose waters spread into rivers that bathed all

    On Esperia, instead of food or water, the Espers could replenish their magical energy by being in contact with nature—by being gently caressed by the flow of water, and by feeling the flowery breeze of the wind passing through the leaves. They also needed to sleep, so that their StarDust could recharge and shine brightly

    In Esperia, when the 7 Shapes wrote One Daily Tale, they thought deeply about one aspect that was utterly important: having an open mind. Why? Because it was one of the fundamental keys to creating a world filled with harmony. With an open mind, two seemingly opposite ideas can eventually merge into one. The concept
