Crystal Clear

All five elements had traits and behaviors that felt most natural to them. The Espers of the Wind were well known for their listening skills and for their pure character.

Each Element had a place in Esperia where it was easier to grow and develop.

For the Wind, there was a place known for its crystal-clear beauty, said to be able to reflect one’s true heart.

Through the years, many legends were written about this place, called the Valley of Winds.

It was said that the natural landscape of these valleys created a gentle path for the Winds to become soft breezes, carrying quiet melodies that could bring peace to any troubled heart.

It was not uncommon for Espers from all over Esperia to travel to the Valley of Winds, as a pilgrimage to discover more about themselves.

As nature flourished in this land, it was necessary for all Espers to respect the environment, yet its beauty alone was enough to make anyone want to protect it as much as possible.

This feeling of awe was not only for the crystal-clear landscape, but also for all the living beings that inhabited the planet.

“We soon forget what we don’t see regularly, sometimes to the point that we forget it exists, and fail to protect it,” said Gurumin, the Shape of Empathy.

The Valley of Winds and its legends were there to remind all Espers of the beauty of their planet, and of the beauty that exists within each of them.

    To the best of one’s ability

    This chapter of One Daily Tale led at first to many debates among the Espers. Until then, they didn’t know about the StarDust, how to develop it, or how it could help them understand themselves better: the light created by their StarDust would enable them to see their inner Shadow, often hidden deep inside them.

    Excessive drinking and eating

    Kenko, the Shape of Health, knew too well that most of the Espers would not want to hear her words at first. Why? Because she knew that once one has tasted the ease of luxury, of addiction through alcohol, and forgotten the hardship of simply being able to eat every day, it requires far more

    Accepting differences

    Now that Esperia was finally at peace, it became natural for the five different Elements to work together and share their knowledge and skills. When they were still at war, they simply couldn’t realize—blinded by hatred and fear of others—the need for the other Elements to sustain their own land. Water, through rivers, lakes, or
