Humility and Awe

Lune Lune was a little cat of the Water element. His adorable appearance contrasted with his personality, for he was very full of himself.

Having gradually lost his curiosity, he had also lost that gentle feeling of being amazed by everything nature has to offer.

But an encounter changed his mindset forever and helped him rediscover the humility that had been buried deep within him.

That day, he followed a young Esper boy named Guruo, who was running to attend a lesson taught by his favorite teacher, Vati, the Shape of Wisdom.

Guruo was the perfect example of an ideal student, and although this could somewhat put off some of his classmates, no one could deny the effort he put in every day to become a better version of himself.

Today’s lesson was about the Universe, in all its grandeur, its immensity, and everything that remained to be discovered and learned.

Lune Lune had never realized that the spectacle unfolding before him every evening, made of sparkling stars, was truly the manifestation of other possible worlds like Esperia.

He was overcome with such intense wonder that he felt a deep desire to learn more.

Little by little, his curiosity—not only for the stars, but also for all the treasures nature offers—became what it had once been when he was young.

    For the Espers, managing to recover the artifact of lightning, the spark of thunder, was perhaps the most difficult ordeal for most of them.

    Listening to Others and Listening to Yourself

    The Espers were, all things considered, rather curious beings.

    A World That Has Become Ultra-Complex

    The civilization of the Espers had been built over thousands of years, and for a newborn discovering the world, this meant trying to make connections between billions of objects and increasingly complex and abstract systems, in which billions of individuals were put to work, while no one could fully understand how they functioned anymore. And…

    Magic and Aether

    The excessive development of the Espers’ civilization through the use of magic had also made it possible to understand its consequences for the entire planet. Just as the Espers learn from their mistakes, perhaps irony had it that they would understand, decades later, the true gravity of their past actions. Magic had given them the…

  • The Seven Artifacts

    The Seven Artifacts

    On Esperia, the quest to recover the Seven Artifacts was now considered the essential foundation for entering adult life. Indeed, this adventure made it possible to learn about the world by crossing the lands of the five elements, and to better understand the sometimes abstract notions of time and balance. But above all, it also…

  • Accepting Our Mistakes

    Accepting Our Mistakes

    No one, whoever they were, could change the face of the world alone. The Seven Shapes understood this well, and although they had now become the symbol of Esperia’s renewal, they also knew that the efforts would have to be made by everyone. And for that, first and foremost, it was important to accept one’s…

  • No Nature, No Food

    No Nature, No Food

    As a civilization that considers itself advanced, it would seem obvious that the connection between nature, its benefits, and the fundamental need to sustain ourselves through the food it provides should be something everyone understands. The society of the Espers before the Chaos War, which had basked in luxury and consumption made possible through the…
