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.

    The Espers of the element of Wind had naturally understood that a smile held something unique. Even in complicated situations, a simple smile could soften the atmosphere and restore the possibility of dialogue. However, this smile must be sincere, and not just a trick meant to take advantage of the kindness of others. It is

    The revelation, in the eyes of all, of the presence of Atma, the Shape of Balance, was of major importance in the principles that followed to rebuild Esperia on new foundations, by virtue of the StarDust that slumbers within every Esper on the planet. Some, however, did not understand this notion:“Wouldn’t it be a boring

    The recognition of this principle had allowed Esperia to be rebuilt on fairer foundations for all. Remembering daily the presence of Shala, the Shape of Time, was a way for the Espers to remind themselves that life was ephemeral, allowing them to appreciate not only their own existence more intensely, but also the lives of

    “Try for a moment to imagine a world where prejudice exists for no one.” “In this world, differences of origin, base element, or sex do not influence our personal feelings in any way.” “A mutual respect, regardless of the individual, is then created naturally.

    If the concept of the five elements often seemed rather abstract at first for young Espers, the element of Earth was certainly the easiest for them to understand first. Indeed, an Esper in good health is immediately noticeable among others: a more athletic body, neither too thin, showing a lack of physical exercise, nor too

    The Great Library of Esperia had become a life-sized example of what a civilization built on values shared by all could become, regardless of their main element or their origin. It would have been unimaginable just a few years earlier to see the Espers of the five different elements unite for a single common cause:
