Day after day

The habits we build, one small step at a time, are like seeds that must be nurtured gently but steadily each day in order to bear fruit.

“One step a day, day after day,” could be a way of thinking that every Esper remembers when seeing Shala.

A few minutes of training or work may not seem like much in a single day, but by doing it daily, those minutes become thousands of hours that lead to the mastery of a skill, a healthy body and mind, or even stronger bonds with our loved ones.

Consistency is the key to being in harmony with ourselves,” Shala liked to say.

“A little time each day will make a huge difference in the years to come, but sadly, it is not easy to grasp this,” said Vati.

“Indeed, we are naturally drawn to focus only on what is right before our eyes, while shaping our future is not,” agreed Eklea.

    The Wind Artifact

    The legendary artifact of the Wind element, discovered at the end of the War of Chaos, was called the Wind Mirror.

    The Prism of Wisdom

    The end of the War of Chaos had revealed not only the StarDust, but also the artifacts of each element. For water, it was the Prism of Wisdom.

  • Making Moderation Appealing

    Making Moderation Appealing

    For the Seven Shapes, this was certainly one of the most daunting challenges. How could they make moderation appealing when the Shadow of the Espers so often drove them to act against it? First of all, the presence of Atma, the Shape of Balance, was, just as with the other Shapes and their respective elements,…

    Start Acting for the Future Today

    From then on, with Shala, the Shape of Time, placing greater emphasis on it, thinking about the future had become a normal part of life for the Espers since the end of the War of Chaos. The Espers were not naturally creatures who placed the future first. On the contrary, their Shadow urged them more…

    A Glimmer of Hope

    Now that Esperia had been rebuilt on new foundations, which seemed obvious to have been put in place after careful reflection, thinking back to the world as it had been just before the War of Chaos seemed unreal. “How could we possibly have behaved like that?” wondered a young Esper, incredulous as he studied the…

  • A Collective Responsibility

    A Collective Responsibility

    Whether they wanted it or not, every new Esper brought into the world was part of a whole: a family, a clan, an elemental region, the civilization of the Espers as a whole… Until very recently, it had been inconceivable for Espers of different elements to even attempt to communicate with one another. Simply because…

  • The Foundations of Health

    The Foundations of Health

    Even though Esper society had changed greatly with the use of magic, an analogy with previous civilizations, some of which had disappeared, was still possible at its core. Whatever the era, fundamental needs, whether food or sleep, had always existed. Having easier or more difficult access to these needs had, moreover, often been the reason…

  • The Shadow of Consciousness

    The Shadow of Consciousness

    Every Esper had this Shadow within them, which acted in their place whenever they failed to act consciously. Imperceptible until the discovery of the StarDust that brought an end to the Chaos War, this Shadow was nevertheless the one that had built their civilization until then. This Shadow, which favored immediate gains for its host,…
