Failures

There is a certain irony in how the human brain works: for us to learn and grow, we also need to fail personally.

Babies do it naturally when trying to grab objects, sit up, or learn how to walk: they try, fail, try again, fail again…

When this was understood by the Espers on Esperia, it became evident that the inner fire brought by the Shape of Willpower, Faya, was one of the keys to the harmonious development of their civilization.

“Someone who hasn’t failed still hasn’t really tried up to their true potential.”

In cases of failure, balance is—as always—another key point. Too many failures won’t help, while too few won’t foster growth.

The Espers understood that the leap of faith taken by the younger ones was absolutely crucial.

This created a loop of responsibility: the younger ones became more responsible under the guidance of the elder ones.

    Esperia was rebuilding itself slowly but surely, upon foundations that now seemed right in everyone’s eyes. The StarDust and its existence had become widely accepted, and the initiatory journey that each Esper had to undertake to recover their own artifacts had become part of everyday life, far more quickly than the Seven Shapes had ever…

    On Esperia, the quest to recover the Seven Artifacts was now considered the essential foundation for entering adult life. Indeed, this adventure made it possible to learn about the world by crossing the lands of the five elements, and to better understand the sometimes abstract notions of time and balance. But above all, it also…

    No one, whoever they were, could change the face of the world alone. The Seven Shapes understood this well, and although they had now become the symbol of Esperia’s renewal, they also knew that the efforts would have to be made by everyone. And for that, first and foremost, it was important to accept one’s…

    As a civilization that considers itself advanced, it would seem obvious that the connection between nature, its benefits, and the fundamental need to sustain ourselves through the food it provides should be something everyone understands. The society of the Espers before the Chaos War, which had basked in luxury and consumption made possible through the…

    Gathering the seven artifacts was a quest that was also, perhaps above all, an adventure that allowed them to learn to better understand themselves. Who has never been surprised to hear their own voice, or to see themselves move and speak? So many small moments that allow us to become a little more aware of…

    The Chaos War had clearly shown that the cycle of wars would never end as long as people’s mindsets did not evolve. And the discovery of magic, which had made the civilization of the Espers more prosperous, had in no way changed the way they saw things. On the contrary, society was becoming increasingly individualistic…

    If the use of magic had brought many benefits to the daily lives of the Espers, the world before the Chaos War had changed enormously, for better and for worse. No one could have imagined how much society would change thanks to the new technologies made possible by magic. The population had exploded, as had…

    The birth of Atma, the Shape of Balance, at the end of the Chaos War, had also brought to light the existence of the magical artifact of balance. The Heptaract of Balance. This seven-dimensional hypercube was a perfect representation of the notion of balance that the Seven Shapes sought to promote for their society, rebuilt…
