Equally and Fairly

Faced with the immense task that the reconstruction of Esperia represented, the need to rethink the world as a whole had finally reached the center of discussions.

We now finally understand that we share one single planet,” began Vati, the Shape of Wisdom.

“We also understand that the five elements, as different as they may seem, are each a part of a whole. By combining them, we can develop the StarDust that lies dormant within each of us,” she continued.

“Until now, we did not realize that the use of magic was destroying, each time, a small part of the life source of our planet, which we now call Aether…,” noted Kenko, the Shape of Health.

“We must therefore rethink how we organize ourselves by limiting its use… This will not be simple, because the use of magic has made our daily lives easier, to the point where we have become dependent on it.
Becoming aware of this dependence is already a great step forward,” declared Eklea, the Shape of Awareness.

“Everyone will have a role to play, regardless of their base element, their qualities, or their flaws. There will therefore be responsibilities to take on, for all…,” added Faya, the Shape of Will.

“And if, until now, the world may have seemed unequal and unfair, this is also the right moment to adjust the future world in which peace and harmony will now be the foundations of Esperia,” concluded Gurumin, the Shape of Empathy.

    “What truly matters?” This question was raised by Eklea, the Shape of Awareness.“Related to this question, what truly matters to you? may even be a better one,” she said. Because we all see the world through our own eyes, and because we have the freedom to choose how we act and behave, how we use

    If there is one thing we can all learn from children, it is their ability to see the world with pure and innocent eyes. Their questions often feel naïve, yet they describe very well how a heart that is still pure and innocent sees the world around us. The Seven Shapes understood one thing: for

    Education First

    The world is filled with countless mysteries yet to be discovered, and with so many things that have been learned through the years since the beginning of civilizations. Not only for adults, but even more so for newly born Espers, it can feel overwhelming. That’s why Vati and the other Shapes believed that education needed

    Atma found in Shala the figure of an older sister, someone with whom she could share her vision of the world. As the Shape of Balance, Atma was there to help the Espers remember that balance was essential for a bright StarDust. But she couldn’t help them directly—they had to understand and act on their

    Once in a Lifetime

    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

    Consistency of words and actions

    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
