Exempt from All Prejudice

“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. Like the youngest ones who, not yet marked by society’s prejudices, play, communicate, and gather together, quite simply.”

The young Espers present in the room closed their eyes and saw, in their minds, images of a world that was easily prosperous and harmonious.

“The discovery of the StarDust, which exists within each of us, was a revelation for Esperia.”

A young Esper, intrigued, simply asked: “Our StarDust?”

“Yes, we now know that developing our five elements in a balanced way makes a small light shine within each of us, and we call it the StarDust. Until now, we did not know that, at the origin, each element was only a part of a whole.”

“Developing our StarDust allows us to see the world through a new perspective that goes beyond prejudice.”
