For a Noble Cause

The Seven Shapes had understood one thing: no Esper was born with knowledge of the world, its history, or its tragedies.

For the young, sometimes left to themselves, they had understood that it was more than necessary to establish a charter capable of guiding them.

Thus, Faya, the Shape of Will, thought that having a shared global purpose among the Five elements of Esperia was obvious. If years of wars and conflicts had not been prevented until now, it was not only because of the naturally selfish nature of the Espers, but also because of a lack of unity on a planetary scale!

It was only very recently, as their civilization developed, that the Espers had discovered the other elements inhabiting their planet.

Thanks to the use of their magic, they were now able to communicate with one another, but a noble common cause needed to come into being.

That is why the Seven Shapes wrote a charter shared by the Five elements.
One of the articles of this charter described the importance of developing one’s StarDust every day.

And you are reading one of these daily tales right now.

This article, with time, took the form of One Daily Tale…

    Living life as it is

    “What truly matters?” This question was raised by Eklea, the Shape of Awareness.“Related to this question, what truly matters to you? may even be a better one,” she said. Because we all see the world through our own eyes, and because we have the freedom to choose how we act and behave, how we use

    Pure and innocent

    If there is one thing we can all learn from children, it is their ability to see the world with pure and innocent eyes. Their questions often feel naïve, yet they describe very well how a heart that is still pure and innocent sees the world around us. The Seven Shapes understood one thing: for

  • Education First

    Education First

    The world is filled with countless mysteries yet to be discovered, and with so many things that have been learned through the years since the beginning of civilizations. Not only for adults, but even more so for newly born Espers, it can feel overwhelming. That’s why Vati and the other Shapes believed that education needed

    Trade-off

    Atma found in Shala the figure of an older sister, someone with whom she could share her vision of the world. As the Shape of Balance, Atma was there to help the Espers remember that balance was essential for a bright StarDust. But she couldn’t help them directly—they had to understand and act on their

  • Once in a Lifetime

    Once in a Lifetime

    Shala would ask the young Espers what came to their minds when thinking about events that occur only once in a lifetime. A very intrepid child replied first: “The birth of my younger sister!” “Indeed, the birth of a new life is something that becomes a great challenge for the parents.” Vati added: “Raising a

  • As One

    As One

    The message of One Daily Tale was simple. The Five Elements working together in balance were the key to a bright StarDust for an Esper. This led to an Esper who could now consciously face his inner Shadow—something hidden from him without the light of his own StarDust. Those enlightened Espers could become living examples

  • Consistency of words and actions

    Consistency of words and actions

    After they created One Daily Tale, the Seven Shapes knew this was only the first step toward a peaceful Esperia. “From now on, the real challenge begins,” thought Vati, who understood better than anyone that while truth could be written with words, actions and behaviors did not always follow naturally. This was when Faya stepped

    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
