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 Espers of Earth were living in the deepest harmony with nature. Of course, the Espers of the other Elements could also have a leaning toward appreciating the beauty of nature, but the Element of Earth was certainly the most aligned with it.

But she knew better than most that there was a paradox in this, for while guidelines can be provided, consciousness can only be achieved by the Esper himself. A young Esper of Wind gently asked, a bit naively:“We just

    Trying to create a world where peace prevails and all the Espers can live in harmony is no simple task.

    In ancient times, on the planet that would later be known as Esperia, the Espers lived in five separate lands, knowing nothing of one another’s existence. Their development was shaped by the qualities of the food found in their lands and by the resources available to them. This led them to awaken their own magical
