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…

    Faya was explaining in her lesson about Willpower how the First Step was one of the most important keys to developing it.

  • Question your own beliefs

    Question your own beliefs

    Eklea’s teachings were certainly the most difficult to grasp. What exactly is awareness—or consciousness? To help the Espers, she always tried to use concrete examples. And the theme today was: “You should always question your own beliefs.”A younger one asked, “But if that’s what we’ve been taught, shouldn’t our beliefs be right?” “When you learn,

    Pure Heart

    Cha Cha was looking at Guruko, who was humming a song she had heard from the birds of the nearby forest.

    Our own extinction?

    What kind of world are we going to leave behind for future generations?Can we really behave so selfishly that, even though we now fully understand how human behavior has impacted the world, we still choose to ignore what must be done—as if nothing will go terribly wrong if we continue doing nothing? Future generations, not

    A World with Limits

    The Espers were magical creatures with incredibly potent skills, but the Seven Shapes—and in particular Atma, the Shape of Balance—were there to remind them that the more power they gained, the more cautiously they had to use it. Without considering the consequences, a new magic could trigger an irreversible chain reaction that might reshape the

    The Cycle of Life

    The Shape of Time, Shala, had witnessed with her own eyes the beginning of the cycle of life in Esperia. She remembered when nature took form, eventually spreading in harmony with the mountains, the seas, and the rivers. She remembered the first Espers, born with their beautiful inner light, which they would call StarDust. When
