Unfounded
To rebuild Esperia from the perspective of harmony between the different elements, it was essential to question unfounded truths. Centuries of war and history cannot disappear in a single instant. Prejudices and unfounded rumors persist. It was on these very points that the Water Espers, guided by the Forme of Wisdom Vati, bore the heavy
-
Useless Debates
The Seven Shapes didn’t get where they are by pleasing the people or by relying on their magic. For the Five Elements, the Shapes were known as the strongest at that time, yet it was not through force that they chose to lead by example. On the contrary, their effort to write the principles of

Incomplete measures
If there is one thing the Seven Shapes never failed to do since they wrote One Daily Tale, it was to lead by example. They understood very well the importance each individual held in creating a world of peace, and as the leaders of each Element, the Five Great Elements bore the difficult responsibility of
-
Accepting differences
Now that Esperia was finally at peace, it became natural for the five different Elements to work together and share their knowledge and skills. When they were still at war, they simply couldn’t realize—blinded by hatred and fear of others—the need for the other Elements to sustain their own land. Water, through rivers, lakes, or

When emergencies occur, it is sometimes tempting to rush into things without proper thought. And to be fair, it can be the right decision and does work sometimes.

She liked to couple her lessons with Eklea, the Shape of Awareness. The two of them had been great friends

Excellent Theory
In the eyes of the young Espers of Esperia, a world of peace and harmony wasn’t just an excellent theory, but a reality built on the principles written in One Daily Tale. The Seven Shapes didn’t only craft the theory together as one, but also put it into practice—not only for others, but for themselves
-
Right and Wrong
Trying to build a society where everyone can be happy is far from easy. Esperia, though striving to be peaceful, still had a lot of work ahead. But one thing remained clear to the Seven Shapes: if a consensus could be found about what is right and wrong, things would go more smoothly. One Daily

Observe things deeply
Guruko and Simba, her platypus companion, were discussing how the flow of information had evolved on Earth. It had been a while since they had taken an interest in this blue planet, and the development of its inhabitants, who called themselves human beings, was fascinating to them. Just a few decades ago, information was very

Meaningful
There were many debates taking place in the Great Library of Esperia, a place where all the Espers of the Five Elements could gather, discuss with one another, and exchange ideas and opinions. Having different backgrounds made the discussions rather interesting, but the rules were set by the Seven Shapes so that there would be
