Critical Thinking

In Esperia, there was an extremely valuable skill that was slowly being developed by all the Espers: critical thinking.

Because they were raised with the 7 Shapes in mind, they built up their own unique StarDust, which was in fact the physical materialization of their critical thinking!

They understood that living in the present moment was crucial, as well as seeing their planet as a whole and grasping the bigger picture.

Balance needed to prevail among nature and the living creatures inhabiting it in order to create Harmony, which was understood to be the source of peace for everyone.

Developing their StarDust was therefore the priority of every Esper, as they knew that each StarDust had a small but significant impact on the others.

They understood that it took time and dedication to build a healthy routine—studying, exercising, and still keeping time to spend with their loved ones.

A lot of work!

But their awareness that their actions, even tiny ones, had an impact on their world always reminded them to think critically.

    Just like Shala, the Shape of Time, the end of the War of Chaos had revealed to the Espers the existence of Atma, the Shape of Balance, born at the moment when the most powerful magics of the Five Great Elements merged and illuminated the entire planet with a new light, which came to be…

    If Shala, the Shape of Time, had now become one of the Seven Shapes, who had gathered to build a civilization living in harmony with nature and in peace on Esperia, very little was known about her past or her origins. Her mysterious identity made her unique, almost divine, and recalled the ancient beliefs of…

    Cha Cha, our little platypus companion, gazed once again into the magic mirror at this unknown civilization, which nevertheless had many things in common with that of the Espers. This civilization called itself “magnificent.” But as Cha Cha became more interested in their planet, their history, and their evolution, “magnificent” was not really the word…

    The use of magic had greatly improved access to healthcare and had, as a result, significantly extended the life expectancy of the Espers in a remarkably short time. The downside was that the Espers did not seem to have considered the consequences such an achievement would bring. The massive increase in population was indeed creating…

    Even though the Seven Shapes had become symbols that helped the Espers develop their StarDust, none of them was perfect. Each had her own strengths and weaknesses, yet each did her best every day to strengthen her qualities and overcome her shortcomings.
