Even a fool can have a good idea

In today’s lesson, Vati, the Forme of Wisdom, wanted to remind something essential.

What had made the strength of the Espers until now was neither magic, nor their intelligence, nor their physical strength.

Some new technologies had made dialogue between different opinions particularly difficult.

Vati then reminded that even wise people can be wrong, and that even fools can have a good idea.

Remain humble. Without false modesty.

Indeed, the Espers had, for example, still not realized how much the use of their magic was destroying the environment of their planet.

The Espers of the different elements could no longer truly exchange, as everything had become either all white or all black; accepting that others might be right was no longer a possibility.

Little by little, this had deteriorated already fragile relationships between the five elements, which had not yet realized that they were part of a whole.

    The Espers weren’t creatures made to consider the future as their first priority.They were similar to human beings in many ways: they had to eat and rest. Esperia, their planet, also had a star it revolved around, creating a cycle of day and night that influenced when they were awake or asleep. With all these

But newborn Espers were all born as complete blank pages, shaped by their closest environment. Some Espers who had been very powerful in the past, when Chaos
