One Daily Tale

🌎

Family Time

Though Esperia was now a united society where the different Elemental Espers tried their best to live in harmony, the Seven Shapes knew that at the core of a peaceful world were the daily lives of each Esper, especially their family.

Because time is limited each day, and because Espers had a natural tendency to see only what was directly in front of them, Gurumin, the Shape of Empathy, soon understood that a family with healthy relationships among its members was extremely important.

The fundamental need for eating was the perfect moment to strengthen their bonds. Sharing a meal while talking and genuinely listening to what others had to say became a conscious choice for the Espers.

It took time for some of them to adapt to this new way of living, but these kinds of beneficial habits would eventually bear the fruits of compassion in the long run.

Care for your family, care for the whole world.

    Who hasn’t heard the term, but who has really thought about it?

    What was unprecedented on Esperia was how detached from power and status the founders of One Daily Tale were. The Seven Shapes were mainly symbols of what good behavior toward one’s StarDust could lead to: harmony and peace. They were living examples of what they wrote as guides for everyone, themselves included. In the past,

    Once again, Guruko and her platypus companion Cha Cha were observing human society on Earth.

    If there was one thing Faya tried to avoid the most, it was shifting the blame for her own mistakes onto others. As the Shape of Willpower, and the Great Element of Fire, she always took responsibility for her actions, even when those actions turned out to be mistakes. “I know it can be easier

    The Espers were magical creatures able to shape reality itself through their powers. Some were said to possess so much power that they could even bend the laws of time and space… With that in mind, it was a world where the question of what was real and what was shaped by magic was omnipresent.

    The gentle breeze of spring was often paired with a calm and kind personality, warming the atmosphere just as spring gently takes over winter with its delicate warmth. All the Espers soon found themselves on the same wavelength when spring began. While the Espers of the Wind were the most delighted when spring finally arrived
