Guruko Gets Sick

Guruko was feeling ill. She began to develop a fever and had to lie in bed all the time, struggling to catch her breath.

Cha Cha, her faithful platypus, was at her side—preparing food with the help of Grandma Luna and changing the cool towel on her forehead to help bring down the heat.

When looking at Guruko, Cha Cha couldn’t help but feel sad, though he always smiled so that Guruko would feel a little better.

He remembered when he was younger and sick himself. He remembered the gentle eyes of his mother, full of love and compassion, and he could feel that, for his mother, what she saw through her eyes was the most treasured thing in the whole universe.

He wondered if Guruko could feel the same when he looked at her.

Thankfully, Guruko—who always respected the principles of the 7 Shapes—soon recovered!

And Cha Cha was the happiest platypus ever!

    The Seven Shapes understood that until the writings of One Daily Tale reached the majority of the Espers, many would continue to act unaware of their own inner Shadow—and how it often moved on their behalf. Eklea, the Shape of Awareness, perhaps had the most difficult task: to make it clear that skillful deception by

    All five elements had traits and behaviors that felt most natural to them. The Espers of the Wind were well known for their listening skills and for their pure character. Each Element had a place in Esperia where it was easier to grow and develop. For the Wind, there was a place known for its

    If there is one thing the Seven Shapes never failed to do since they wrote One Daily Tale, it was to lead by example.

    The birth of Atma, the Shape of Balance, when the StarDust was discovered at the end of the Chaos War, was a revelation that transformed Esperia into the world of peace whose tales we now narrate. While the Espers of the different Elements held only a faint awareness of one another, it was only recently

    The Espers weren’t creatures made to consider the future as their first priority.They were similar to human beings in many ways: they had to eat and rest. Esperia, their planet, also had a star it revolved around, creating a cycle of day and night that influenced when they were awake or asleep. With all these

    Guruko and her platypus companion, Cha Cha, were thinking about how Esperia finally became a planet where peace prevailed. “There were wars for thousands of years. How come it never happened before?” asked Guruko. “The end of the Chaos War was the beginning of it all. When the Five Great Elements clashed all at once

    This chapter of One Daily Tale led at first to many debates among the Espers. Until then, they didn’t know about the StarDust, how to develop it, or how it could help them understand themselves better: the light created by their StarDust would enable them to see their inner Shadow, often hidden deep inside them.
