Healthy Growth

The discovery of the StarDust had led the Espers to take a closer interest in how to develop it.

One thing was clear in any case: it already shone extremely brightly, naturally, during pregnancy, but also throughout childhood.

The Seven Shapes had therefore thought it necessary to create a society that promotes the healthy growth of children as early as possible; and since the time of pregnancy was also involved, the circle was complete.

It was necessary to make society healthier as a whole.

“Given the society we know, the starting point is quite far from our goal,” declared Eklea, the Shape of Consciousness.

“Yes, but now that we know the StarDust develops thanks to the five elements, we also now have the main guidelines to follow in order to reach our objective!” exclaimed Vati, the Shape of Wisdom.

Kenko, the Shape of Health, continued:

“For a healthy society, we must allow the healthy growth of the youngest. And that requires excellent health, both physical and mental, for our dear children.”

“We must think about the future in the long term, and not stop at immediate profits, which are often harmful when viewed more broadly: protecting the environment or refocusing on ‘good values’ must finally become central to our discussions.”

    Without Discrimination

    Can we truly speak of equality of opportunity at birth when the place and conditions in which one is born vary greatly from one region of the planet to another? This was the reflection upon which Vati, the Shape of Wisdom, had been focusing. The end of the War of Chaos had revealed that the…

    Homeostasis

    The self-regulation of organisms, which tends to bring them back to a state of balance when there is a fluctuation in levels, is now well understood. Thus, excesses — whether too much or too little — are detected, and systems are set in motion to return to a balanced value beneficial to the continuation of…

    Once in a Lifetime

    What image comes to mind when you think of the expression “once in a lifetime”? A beautiful encounter, a new beginning, perhaps an unexpected event. On Esperia, the notion of time was not so different from that on Earth. But the presence of Shala, the Shape of Time, had gradually changed the Espers’ approach to…

  • For a Common Goal

    For a Common Goal

    On paper, everything seemed clear and obvious. At least, for those who had taken the time to look into the problem. And that is no doubt where the root of the lack of cohesion for a common goal lies. Who truly took the time to look into the problem? To do so, one must first…

    That Is None of Our Concern

    Since the rise of magic on Esperia, the means of communication had greatly changed. Until then, it had been difficult to obtain information from the other side of the planet in a short time; now, it had become extremely easy to receive news within seconds. Nevertheless, in both cases, the truthfulness of statements and information…

    Joriko, our very dear companion the red panda, had gradually become interested in the effects of consuming Aether, the life source of the planet. Learning more about its consequences, as well as the efforts that would be required, made anyone who understood the problem very anxious about the future… Since he had freed himself from…

    A State of Semi-Awakening

    In a small village in the Land of Lightning lived a young Esper named Roboka. In a completely natural way, she imitated and repeated every action and gesture, not only of the other villagers, but also of the animals of the forest! Watching her try her very best to reproduce the sounds of fantastical creatures,…

    By the Union of All

    The task of rebuilding Esperia was daunting. If the consequences still seemed imperceptible, almost nonexistent, the damage had indeed been done. Aether, the life source of the planet, had been greatly reduced, and the natural process of its regeneration was slow—far slower than its consumption through the use of Esper magic. From now on, one…
