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.”

    Even though Esper society had changed greatly with the use of magic, an analogy with previous civilizations, some of which had disappeared, was still possible at its core. Whatever the era, fundamental needs, whether food or sleep, had always existed. Having easier or more difficult access to these needs had, moreover, often been the reason…

    Every Esper had this Shadow within them, which acted in their place whenever they failed to act consciously. Imperceptible until the discovery of the StarDust that brought an end to the Chaos War, this Shadow was nevertheless the one that had built their civilization until then. This Shadow, which favored immediate gains for its host,…

    If there is one Shadow that causes a great deal of harm, whether on an individual scale or on a broader scale, it is surely that of Empathy. It often takes control of behavior when emotions speak for themselves: anger, fear, suspicion. It is often said that the beings who can hurt us the most…

    As for Wisdom, the Shadow within each of the Espers was no less present. On the contrary, when faced with difficult questions or complex problems, this Shadow would often avoid the real issue and instead answer something simpler, something it was capable of solving without effort. That was why the Espers sometimes behaved in contradictory…

    In a world of choices that seemed almost infinite, where overconsumption had been made possible by the abundance resulting from the use of magic, the Espers were overwhelmed by sensory stimuli and bombarded with information. It was difficult, then, for the Shadow present within each Esper to make the choices that would promote the balance…

    The Shadow that resides within each Esper has the unfortunate tendency to prioritize short-term benefits for its host. When an Esper reacts unconsciously, their Shadow takes over and acts in their place. Instead of thinking about the long term, which is difficult and requires time, effort, and concentration, their Shadow prefers the lure of an…

    “Without light, no shadow can appear; there is only darkness.” Cha Cha, our platypus friend, had attended a public event where silence was expected. Yet among the audience, two spectators paid little attention to this rule and kept talking, disturbing the people around them. This experience led him to reflect on the Shadow that belongs…

    Let us continue our little journey exploring the Shadow that slumbers within every Esper and reveals itself unconsciously. Today, let us take a closer look at the Shadow of Willpower. Yesterday, Kenko, the Shape of Health, explained how our Shadow sometimes acts against our long-term well-being. When it comes to responsibility and willpower, the Shadow…
