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 was the beginning of the War of Chaos…

    The revelation, in the eyes of all, of the presence of Atma, the Shape of Balance, was of major importance in the principles that followed to rebuild Esperia on new foundations, by virtue of the StarDust that slumbers within every Esper on the planet. Some, however, did not understand this notion:“Wouldn’t it be a boring

    The recognition of this principle had allowed Esperia to be rebuilt on fairer foundations for all. Remembering daily the presence of Shala, the Shape of Time, was a way for the Espers to remind themselves that life was ephemeral, allowing them to appreciate not only their own existence more intensely, but also the lives of

    “Try for a moment to imagine a world where prejudice exists for no one.” “In this world, differences of origin, base element, or sex do not influence our personal feelings in any way.” “A mutual respect, regardless of the individual, is then created naturally.

    If the concept of the five elements often seemed rather abstract at first for young Espers, the element of Earth was certainly the easiest for them to understand first. Indeed, an Esper in good health is immediately noticeable among others: a more athletic body, neither too thin, showing a lack of physical exercise, nor too

    The Great Library of Esperia had become a life-sized example of what a civilization built on values shared by all could become, regardless of their main element or their origin. It would have been unimaginable just a few years earlier to see the Espers of the five different elements unite for a single common cause:

    The youngest Espers all shared the radiant and innocent purity that belongs to children. This allowed them to naturally use the Wind element, regardless of their base element. Now that the link between magic and the StarDust had been established, the Espers finally understood that every magic was in reality the emanation of their own
