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.”

    The Espers were at the top of the food chain. And since the use of magic, they had also acquired the means to raze mountains, devastate forests, and drain lakes. Their means of food production had developed, but history had shown that even though they were at the top of the pyramid, famines and epidemics…

    It had become one of the pillars of the new Esperia. Shala, the Shape of Time, allowed Espers around the world to remember the importance of taking time to reflect.

    The discovery of the StarDust throughout the world had made one thing possible for the first time: discussing serious subjects had finally become possible.

For many, the days when searching for food took up most of the…

    How can we not naturally think that we are at the center of the world when we see the world only through our own eyes?

    Observing how the civilization of the Espers behaved before the Chaos War, one might believe that they were all afflicted by a destructive madness, or were desperately trying to get the better of others at their expense. In reality, most Espers were simply doing their best every day just to live. And among them, some…
