Free like a cloud

The discovery of the StarDust was a revelation for everyone. It allowed the creation of a world built on new foundations, shared by the Espers of the Five elements.

Many began to question their way of life until now, as it was no longer in harmony with the principles that had been taught.

Like clouds drifting across the sky or water flowing gently, a free life, without attachment to things, surrendering to the natural course of events, had become for many a path to follow.

Developing their StarDust allowed the Espers to be more open and to appreciate the small things of everyday life even more.

Watching a cloud slowly wander, carried by the wind, was a simple reflection of their own existence.

Listening to the flow of a crystal-clear river made them think about the passing of time and the importance of appreciating the present moment.

If the Espers had once used their magic without thinking about its consequences for their planet, things had now changed. Of course, the use of magic was still possible. But now that they understood that each use consumed Aether, the life source of the planet, the Espers naturally restrained themselves.

“Being free does not mean only doing whatever one wants, but also implies responsibilities.”
