One Daily Tale

Emergence of Talents

Guiding the young Espers to develop their talents and not leaving them to fend for themselves had become a priority on Esperia.

For a better future, society as a whole must become better.

This had become the leitmotif of Esperia’s renewal since the end of the War of Chaos.

The Seven Shapes had realized how deeply many Espers had become disillusioned with the society in which they lived.

Young Espers, in particular, often had great difficulty finding their bearings in a world where the things that should now be obvious were still being set aside, in favor of others that were merely the result of dogmas built upon a profound lack of knowledge.

“History up to now must serve all of us. We must draw lessons from the past in order to build the future on healthy foundations for everyone.” said Vati, the Shape of Wisdom.

“This will challenge the customs of many, but in truth it is simply their responsibility, long set aside, taking its rightful place again.” interjected Faya, the Shape of Will.

    Shala would ask the young Espers what came to their minds when thinking about events that occur only once in a lifetime. A very intrepid child replied first: “The birth of my younger sister!” “Indeed, the birth of a new life is something that becomes a great challenge for the parents.” Vati added: “Raising a…

    The message of One Daily Tale was simple. The Five Elements working together in balance were the key to a bright StarDust for an Esper. This led to an Esper who could now consciously face his inner Shadow—something hidden from him without the light of his own StarDust. Those enlightened Espers could become living examples…

    After they created One Daily Tale, the Seven Shapes knew this was only the first step toward a peaceful Esperia. “From now on, the real challenge begins,” thought Vati, who understood better than anyone that while truth could be written with words, actions and behaviors did not always follow naturally. This was when Faya stepped…

    There was a saying that Kenko liked a lot, and though it did not directly concern health, she appreciated the idea behind it, as it reflected the principles taught by the other Shapes as well. “You should be grateful for the little things you receive — whether it is simple lodging or a meal.” Kenko…

    Eklea liked to use concrete examples to explain abstract notions that were difficult to grasp, especially for the younger Espers. This time, she used the example of a one-versus-one game played by two Espers. The game had a lot of depth, and a well-timed move could completely change the tide of the match. She said,…

    The Five Elements were representations of the dimensional layers that had to be blended in order to truly understand one’s inner self. Empathy was one of them, and when the Seven Shapes worked on a good description of compassion, they thought about what they saw in Gurumin: pureness. Her character and attitude were pure and…

    The Espers soon understood that a good way to grow was to do so alongside others. Why? Because rivalry can spark motivation, creating a natural positive cycle in which the more you improve, the more others do as well. Vati and Faya also knew that sometimes competition could become too harsh, and they reminded the…

    Though Esperia had finally managed to create a stable society, nothing was perfect. Many Espers still opposed the new rules set by the Seven Shapes. But this too served as a lesson to grow from. Every Esper is different, and the ways we adapt to new situations differ as well. The Shadows of some Espers…
