Hearts United Beyond Borders

Cha Cha, our favorite platypus, had a bold reflection.

“What if the harmony of society rested on the idea of hearts united beyond borders…”

For many years and many years, ignorance of the existence of other peoples on the planet had given rise to fear of “others”.

In all the languages of the world, the term barbarian, describing a being who did not belong to one’s own clan, had been created.

And yet, one person’s barbarian is another person’s barbarian…

The realization that the Five Elements were, in reality, only parts of a single whole was still too recent for the Espers to naturally think beyond these barriers, though they were only imaginary, represented by cultural differences.

Indeed, how can we trust individuals whom we do not understand?

To try to understand, one must first ask the right questions, avoid judging beforehand, and not remain trapped by one’s assumptions or prejudices…

    The Espers of the element of Wind had naturally understood that a smile held something unique.

However, this smile must be sincere, and not just a trick meant to take advantage of the kindness of others. It is…

    Life Is Full of Detours

    The revelation, in the eyes of all, of the presence of Atma, the Shape of Balance, was of major importance in the principles that followed to rebuild Esperia on new foundations, by virtue of the StarDust that slumbers within every Esper on the planet. Some, however, did not understand this notion:“Wouldn’t it be a boring…

  • Life is Ephemeral

    Life is Ephemeral

    The recognition of this principle had allowed Esperia to be rebuilt on fairer foundations for all. Remembering daily the presence of Shala, the Shape of Time, was a way for the Espers to remind themselves that life was ephemeral, allowing them to appreciate not only their own existence more intensely, but also the lives of…

    Persevering After Failures

    The lesson of the day was dear to Faya, the Shape of Will, and was titled “Persevering After Failures.” Even though she had become the Great Element of Fire, and was admired for her fighting spirit and the strength of her inner fire, she often reminded the young Espers that behind every success there are…

  • In Good Health

    In Good Health

    If the concept of the five elements often seemed rather abstract at first for young Espers, the element of Earth was certainly the easiest for them to understand first. Indeed, an Esper in good health is immediately noticeable among others: a more athletic body, neither too thin, showing a lack of physical exercise, nor too…

  • Diversity of Opinions

    Diversity of Opinions

    The Great Library of Esperia had become a life-sized example of what a civilization built on values shared by all could become, regardless of their main element or their origin. It would have been unimaginable just a few years earlier to see the Espers of the five different elements unite for a single common cause:…
