An Eternal Pursuit for Youth
The Element of Lightning wasn’t the only Element with Espers like Yakara, unwilling to comply with the principles of One Daily Tale. From the Element of Earth, a powerful Esper devoted all his time, energy, and magic to trying to remain eternally young. He was called Fujimi, and he couldn’t accept the fact that living…

Happy New Year! Have a Good Health!
Guruko and Simba, her cute platypus companion, enjoyed watching humankind’s civilization on Earth. Today was a special day for them, as they celebrated their planet having completed a full rotation around its star, called the Sun. They didn’t really understand why humans were happy about that, but they guessed it was also an occasion for…

Beautiful Scenery
Kenko, the Great Element of Earth, often worked together with Vati, the Great Element of Water, and Gurumin, the Great Element of Wind. The three of them were often charged with thinking ahead so that nature could be preserved and its importance maintained in Esperia. Their own elements made them naturally connected to the beautiful…

Beautiful Nature
Esperia was a very beautiful planet. For anyone who saw it for the first time, they would be astonished by its colorful scenery, with mountains and valleys, and the sound of water gently flowing through rivers, eventually leading to lakes that reflected the light of its stars on clear nights. The Seven Shapes emphasized the…

Gratitude for basic needs
There was a saying that Kenko liked a lot, and though it did not directly concern health, she appreciated the idea behind it, as it reflected the principles taught by the other Shapes as well. “You should be grateful for the little things you receive — whether it is simple lodging or a meal.” Kenko…

Simple and sturdy
All the Espers of Esperia knew about Kenko. She was the absolute incarnation of what one would imagine when thinking of proper health. Not only physically, but mentally as well, Kenko had, throughout the years and through daily effort, become the very Shape of Health. She would always say: “It’s not complicated, but it certainly…
-
A simple meal
Though Esperia was now living in peace, many wars had been fought, and the last one, the Chaos War, finally led the Espers to realize that the StarDust, shared by every Esper, was the key to developing a society in harmony. Health was understood to be an essential pillar of that harmony, and Kenko, the…
-
Little by Little
This was one of the mottos of Kenko, the Shape of Health. “A bit of exercise every day is far more effective in the long run than one full day of training, followed by months of nothing.” Now that the StarDust is known by all the Espers, it makes complete sense. Shala always reminds the…
-
For your loved ones
Kenko and Gurumin worked together on this course about health and how to promote it, so that even the reluctant Espers would try their best. “I’m free to do as I like!” said a young Esper who didn’t enjoy listening to advice. “Yes, of course you are,” said Gurumin gently. “But why can’t I skip…

Healthy Food
This may sound obvious, but as you eat healthier, you become healthier. Yet, when we look at what is consumed in the wealthiest countries on our planet, it simply doesn’t make sense. Companies earning millions of dollars sell sugar-filled foods and drinks—because they sell. Why? Because adding sugar makes the product addictive, and your brain…
