Excessive Luxury

Now that Atma, the Shape of Balance, was known by all the Espers, it became much easier for Esperia to grow in harmony with nature and the Five Elements.
Though it was difficult to accept for many—especially those who had long enjoyed a life of excessive luxury because of their wealth.

For some, the revelation of the StarDust was a harsh awakening to the reality they had been missing, ever since they had stopped nurturing their own StarDust.

The magical light born at the end of the Chaos War resonated with the inner StarDust within each of them, also revealing their inner Shadow—visible only when the StarDust shines brightly enough.

“How is it that we were so blind to what was right before our eyes…” was a feeling shared by many of the Espers when they began to perceive how they had truly been behaving.

“There is no shame in acting blindly when you are not aware,” said Eklea, the Shape of Awareness.

“If you don’t know, you don’t know. Our StarDust does not shine on its own, and we simply did not understand that,” continued Vati, the Shape of Wisdom.

“But now that we know, and now that we have Atma to guide us, it is our responsibility to live accordingly,” added Faya, the Shape of Willpower.
