Fighting Against an Unfavorable Situation

The Espers of the fire element had built a reputation for always fighting, even in the most unfavorable situations.

They had naturally understood that this was how their fire element grew.

Even if it sometimes seems counterintuitive, having your back against the wall is sometimes simpler; but it is also when we have a choice that taking action becomes more difficult.

It was with this in mind that the renewal of Esperia had been envisioned.

The Chaos War had left a deep mark on Esperia’s ecosystem, and Aether, the planet’s life source, had been depleted to a critical level.

The use of magic, which had once felt so natural, had to be heavily restricted.

But if there was one positive thing in this situation that seemed hopeless at first glance, it was that, for the first time, the Espers of the Five elements had finally understood the need to act together.

The StarDust that had revealed itself to them at the end of the Chaos War had become the symbol of hope, allowing them to keep fighting no matter how unfavorable the situation was.

On an individual level, this meant developing one’s personal StarDust.

On a global level, this meant moving forward hand in hand with the other elements, united by a vision for a world that is fairer, more equal, and in harmony.
