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.”

    For centuries, inequalities had endured. For years, the reality of the harmful effects that the use of magic had on the environment had been well known and understood. Yet despite this, no matter where they lived, the Espers lived as though the borders of their region created a filter that allowed them to tell themselves:…

    Now cornered by the risk of Aether’s disappearance, the Espers finally had before their eyes a common goal, one that forced them to unite, regardless of their element or social status. Nevertheless, it was not something that came naturally, and some still continued to ignore the problem. After all, thousands of years of a hierarchical…

    Lune Lune was a little cat of the Water element. His adorable appearance contrasted with his personality, for he was very full of himself. Having gradually lost his curiosity, he had also lost that gentle feeling of being amazed by everything nature has to offer. But an encounter changed his mindset forever and helped him…

    One thing was certain. The behavioral instincts linked to the need to meet one’s basic needs were deeply rooted. The use of magic on Esperia had allowed the wealthiest to overcome those necessities, leaving room for a way around those instincts. We want more. Always more. No longer out of necessity or precaution. But often…

    Shala’s presence had made something wonderful possible for Esperia: thinking long term. Does that sound insignificant? The Espers were not creatures naturally inclined to think across long periods of time, spanning decades or even centuries. But one thing was clear to the Seven Shapes: if they were finally going to create a civilization united in…

    The Seven Shapes had clearly understood that while ideas could give birth to utopias, addressing the reality of a problem obviously required practical implementation, a plan, and achievable concrete actions. “It is necessary to involve the Five Elements. If nothing has truly been done in that direction until now, then it is indeed time to…

    In the great library of Esperia, a conference led by Faya, the Shape of Will, was taking place. Vingel, our little Fire dog, happened to pass by and took a look inside. He heard Faya speak these words: “Very often, the problem is not a lack of willpower, courage, or effort. It is much simpler…

    Joliko, our little red panda companion, now understood the importance of health, not only on a physical level, but on a mental level as well. Little by little, he had managed to distance himself from the addictions that had consumed him for years and had also kept him from understanding the reality of the world…
