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…

    Why This Need for More and More?

    One thing was certain. The behavioral instincts linked to the need to meet one’s basic needs were deeply rooted. The use of magic on Esperia had allowed the wealthiest to overcome those necessities, leaving room for a way around those instincts. We want more. Always more. No longer out of necessity or precaution. But often…

    Thinking Long Term

    Shala’s presence had made something wonderful possible for Esperia: thinking long term. Does that sound insignificant? The Espers were not creatures naturally inclined to think across long periods of time, spanning decades or even centuries. But one thing was clear to the Seven Shapes: if they were finally going to create a civilization united in…

    Perception of Reality

    Roboka, our little electric robot, was as representative as could be of the general state of mind of the Espers on the planet. Completely absorbed by entertainment and the new forms of media created through the use of magic across Esperia, Roboka no longer had any way of perceiving reality. Even his encounter with Simba,…
