Half Believing

The Espers were magical creatures able to shape reality itself through their powers.

Some were said to possess so much power that they could even bend the laws of time and space…

With that in mind, it was a world where the question of what was real and what was shaped by magic was omnipresent.

But younger Espers were sometimes easily tricked by magic, unable to see the difference from reality.

Eklea, the Shape of Awareness, had created a course for them in order to help them become more conscious of this.

“Sometimes, what is in front of your eyes isn’t reality, but something else shaped by magic.”

“How are we supposed to know?” asked an intrigued young Esper.

“It is difficult, to be honest, but first of all, you should keep in mind not to fully believe everything. Experience will help you notice when reality has been twisted. Like all the principles written in One Daily Tale, it also takes time and effort to become better at this.”

    The use of magic by the Espers transformed their world in a radical way. Not only had it forever changed the ecosystem of their planet, but it had also greatly complicated their society. For although magic had allowed such systems to be created, for an Esper, on an individual scale, their senses and the reach…

    The meeting between Cha Cha, our platypus friend, and Guruko, a young Esper from the Valley of the Wind, was the spark that revealed the compassion buried within him. Guruko was pure and innocent, which gave her a charming beauty. This contrasted with Cha Cha, who had little by little lost sight of that light,…

    In today’s lesson, Vati, the Forme of Wisdom, wanted to remind something essential. What had made the strength of the Espers until now was neither magic, nor their intelligence, nor their physical strength. What had made the Espers capable of such feats was communication and mutual help. Some new technologies had made dialogue between different…

    The representative color of Atma, the Shape of Balance, was a deep blue reminiscent of the oceans. The ebb and flow of its waves, its highs and lows, formed an image now associated with balance. Far from being a straight line, there are good and bad sides to everything: a situation, a new technology, life…

    If there was one thing the Espers were not made for, it was to feel the impermanence of time. Whether it concerned the past or the future, everything that is not the present or close to it quickly becomes abstract, taking shape through stories. These stories are then shaped by their experience, lived or learned,…

    For Esperia, this was the discovery of the StarDust, revealed to all at the end of the Chaos War, which had been the trigger for the Espers to finally act in concert. Indeed, for years, despite technological progress and even learning to use magic, which had made many tedious tasks child’s play, the inertia of…
