One Daily Tale

For Eternity?

The question of mortality had been debated for thousands of years on Esperia.
Like many civilizations, the fear of the unknown had led different beings to create reasons for their existence and to find interpretations for the signs given by nature.

“The question of time and existence is truly complicated,” worried Vati, the Shape of Wisdom.
“Atma, wouldn’t you have some advice to give to the Espers who feel a little lost?”

Atma, the Shape of Time, smiled and answered in a soft and peaceful voice.

“Taking the time to listen to oneself is already a great step toward a better understanding of what is happening inside.”

“It is the cycle of life. Nothing is eternal. The stars we can admire after nightfall will also shine brighter before fading away and creating new ones.”

“Feeling afraid is completely normal and understandable. But instead of rejecting that fear, why not try to befriend it? It allows us to appreciate even more each day spent with the beings who are dear to us.”

    To strive for peace among all the Espers, Esperia was rebuilt in such a way that every Esper had to take responsibility and take action, based on their own unique abilities.

    “Every moment is a once-in-a-lifetime event,” Shala, the Shape of Time, would often remind the young Espers. From an objective point of view, as the Espers were living beings, the time they were able to spend was limited; thus, every single event is one that will never happen again. Even if circumstances may seem similar—for

    Guruko and Simba, her platypus companion, continued to observe and learn from human society on Earth. It reminded them greatly of how Esperia was before the end of the Chaos War. Indeed, before the events that led to the discovery of the StarDust—which became the key to revealing the inner Shadow within each Esper—there was

    Esperia didn’t become the world we know it as—one of peace and harmony—in a day, nor easily. Every Esper had to go through hardships, but the end of the Chaos War finally became a much-needed rallying point, uniting and combining the desire for true peace for everyone. “Every Esper, at their own level, would have

There were so many things to take into account, but the Seven Shapes agreed that flexibility should remain a point of focus. Because flexibility allows for communication, the ability to try new things, and even, at times, to take

    The Element of Wind focused on interactions with others more than the other elements. Of course, being of another element like Fire or Water didn’t prevent one from leaning toward this trait, but the Espers of the Wind had the most natural affinity for it. Instinctively, they could sense the presence of their inner Shadow,

Having different backgrounds made the discussions rather interesting, but the rules were set by the Seven Shapes so that there would be
