One Daily Tale

🌎

Light and Shadow

Eklea, the Shape of Awareness, had the difficult task of writing about consciousness when the Seven Shapes created One Daily Tale.

A complicated task indeed—but as the element of Lightning, Eklea always carried a tool with her: light!

If lightning flashes only briefly in the darkness, the discovery of StarDust at the end of the Chaos War finally revealed the existence of the Shadow within every Esper.

At first, it was not easy—especially for the older Espers—to accept the presence of their own Shadow. Yet the younger ones soon discovered in their Shadow a new way to play.

But the Seven Shapes agreed that, for harmony to prevail, the Espers bore the responsibility of nurturing their StarDust, so that they would always remain aware of their Shadow.

For without light, there is no way to see the Shadow—only darkness.

    Not long ago, we talked about the importance of deepening one’s knowledge of the information that flows through modern society. Because by being aware that what is displayed as truth is not always the case, and is often bent by those in power, it becomes possible to detach ourselves from the ways they try to

    Every Esper of Esperia acknowledged one thing about Gurumin, the Shape of Empathy: there was something special about her. It was somewhat difficult to explain, but her behavior always smelled of pureness, and this led her to become the living image of fairness and justice as well. Why?

From an objective point of view, as the Espers were living beings, the time they were able to spend was limited; thus, every single event is one that will never happen again. Even if circumstances may seem similar—for

    Esperia didn’t become the world we know it as—one of peace and harmony—in a day, nor easily. Every Esper had to go through hardships, but the end of the Chaos War finally became a much-needed rallying point, uniting and combining the desire for true peace for everyone. “Every Esper, at their own level, would have
