One Daily Tale

Fair and just

Every Esper of Esperia acknowledged one thing about Gurumin, the Shape of Empathy: there was something special about her.

It was somewhat difficult to explain, but her behavior always smelled of pureness, and this led her to become the living image of fairness and justice as well.

Why? Because being able to feel compassion for others also leads to wanting fairness for everyone.

But Gurumin always said that, just like the other Shapes, she hadn’t received a gift she was born with. Throughout the years and the experiences she had accumulated, slowly and daily, she was able to develop the qualities she was admired for now.

She admitted that, of course, some Espers were more inclined toward empathy, but she understood that working on it made all the difference.

And for an Esperia that aimed for peace and harmony, having fair and just behavior was an example that every Esper could offer to others.

“If you are not able to be fair and just yourself, no one will do it in your stead.”

    The Seven Shapes and the Espers agreed on rules concerning what they called a Limit Break. Now that the flow of Aether was understood, as well as StarDust as a source, it became a rule for every Esper to limit their use of magic in order to maintain equilibrium. However, it was also decided that

    The revelation of the StarDust profoundly changed the way Espers thought. They now understood that a bright StarDust was the key to perceiving their own Shadow, and therefore gaining a deeper understanding of themselves. Shala, the Shape of Time, was there to remind them that one step a day was all it could take to

    The Seven Shapes were reflecting on how things had changed since the end of the Chaos War. “The discovery of the StarDust was truly the key to understanding ourselves,” thought Vati. “Yes, and Atma, the Shape of Balance, was also a missing element in being able to create One Daily Tale,” said Shala. “In order

    Faya admired the Espers who gave their all when a new challenge stood before them. She respected the most those who used their utmost effort, even if the outcome wasn’t as good as expected, or even ended in complete failure. “As long as you did everything you could, there will be no reason to regret.”

Health was understood to be an essential pillar of that harmony, and Kenko, the

    Eklea liked to hold on to this simple question. “In the end, what truly defines who you are?” It took time to reflect on such a question, and she knew that most Espers didn’t naturally ask themselves anything like this. When you become too attached to the possessions you own, they begin to define you.

    Joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. Human emotions may be what truly define us as “unique” among other living species. We find joy in the little pleasures life brings to us: the warmth of the sun rising in the morning, a cool breeze in summer, the beautiful colors of autumn leaves. Anger, sometimes, arises when we
