One Daily Tale

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.

What had made the Espers capable of such feats was communication and mutual help.

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.

You know the rest.

     …it is folly to be wise. Cha Cha reflected on this sentence. It was written in the 18th century by an English poet. At that time, all energy sources were renewable, with little risk of real damage to the environment, as everything was powered by natural elements or living beings. Sadly, history also shows that

    It took quite a long time before the Shape of Balance, Atma, and the meaning behind the word “Balance” finally became one of the accepted and evident keys to harmony in Esperia. In principle, it’s simple! In a world with limited resources, there is a clear need for restraint among the living beings who share,

    Shala, the Shape of Time, created a lesson about the Past, Present, and Future. “For ordinary living beings who haven’t developed their StarDust yet, it is very difficult to grasp the Scales of Time. Because, in fact, it’s a paradox: it’s not natural to be able to perceive them.” “We all know we live in

    Until the 7 Shapes worked together to create the foundations of One Daily Tale, Esperia wasn’t the harmonious land we had described! It took much effort and time for the Espers to finally realize that preserving the land they lived in was the obvious common goal to pursue. Even though the Espers could create magic

    Simba was a mysterious, monkey-like creature living in Esperia. Though not an Esper, through experience and trial and error, he had succeeded in developing his own version of the StarDust. But something was still missing. He often experienced a roller coaster of emotions—sometimes feeling very sad when imagining a world without the 7 Shapes, and

    The magical world of Esperia was filled with Aether, saturating the atmosphere and creating rainbow reflections that could be admired just by looking at the sky. While we humans need to breathe air rich in oxygen, the Espers needed to breathe air filled with Aether. Not only did it connect them to the nature of
