Knowledge Put into Practice

During the period preceding the end of the War of Chaos, Faya, who had become the Form of Will, had never been known for her tact or moderation. On the contrary, as the most powerful user of the Fire element, she showed as much bravery as excess in her actions.

But the revelation of the StarDust before everyone’s eyes, along with the presence of Atma, the Form of Balance, became a true turning point for her.

Faya reflected and wrote in her journal.

“Just as, within us, our StarDust needs balance to shine more brightly, our actions for the community must also find that balance.”

“By acting without prior knowledge, we may make mistakes that could have been avoided by studying the problem more deeply.”

“But on the other hand, merely studying and analyzing things does not change an existing problem.”

“Our StarDust, which lies dormant within each of us, allows us to adapt and to change our behaviors.”

“When I think back to my youth, full of passion and boldness, unaware of the reality of the world we live in, I feel a little ashamed… But it also means that I have been able to change, and finally become aware of what must be done to rebuild Esperia.”

    I don’t know

    The young Espers were surprised by this lesson from Vati, the Shape of Wisdom.

Ironic, isn’t it? But having the courage to accept…

    The presence of Atma, the Shape of Balance, made it easy for the Espers to remember the importance of maintaining equilibrium across their entire planet.

    Grief

    Losing a loved one may be the most tragic event you ever experience. Naturally, the closer the person, the more devastating the loss.

    If every individual on this Earth is unique, then to us, our mother is even more unique.

    Put into Practice

    Faya, the Shape of Willpower and the Element of Fire, liked to put into practice the very principles she taught at the Great Library of Esperia. Even before learning about the StarDust—and that it required the harmonious combination of all Elements to eventually take shape through a radiant Aether Flow—Faya had always understood that practice…

  • Healthy Food

    Healthy Food

    This may sound obvious, but as you eat healthier, you become healthier. Yet, when we look at what is consumed in the wealthiest countries on our planet, it simply doesn’t make sense. Companies earning millions of dollars sell sugar-filled foods and drinks—because they sell. Why? Because adding sugar makes the product addictive, and your brain…

  • Wake up

    Wake up

    Eklea, the Shape of Awareness, pondered where to begin if a civilization had no knowledge of the Seven Shapes. Surely, neither harmony nor peace could exist in such a world. There was so much to unpack—especially for the youngest ones, who would have to absorb so much and try to discern what truly makes sense…
