Little by Little

This was one of the mottos of Kenko, the Shape of Health.

“A bit of exercise every day is far more effective in the long run than one full day of training, followed by months of nothing.”

Now that the StarDust is known by all the Espers, it makes complete sense.

Shala always reminds the Espers that the StarDust needs to be nurtured every single day.

Faya made it clear that it is easier to draw from a little of it daily rather than taking a large amount all at once.

With Vati’s help, the Espers learned that the StarDust develops during sleep, processing all the events of the day.

Gurumin mentioned that what we often remember about the loved ones who passed away isn’t the big events we shared with them, but rather the small acts of care they offered every single day.

  • Freed from the Material World

    Freed from the Material World

    Like clouds drifting peacefully across the sky, or nature itself, free and carefree, a way of life distant from the material world was increasingly favored on Esperia. The intensive use of magic had indeed forever destabilized the climate, and Aether, the life source of the planet, had reached a critical threshold and was close to…

    A Difficult Future

    Vingel, our little dog friend of the Fire element, gazed deeply into the future that The Seven Shapes were trying to create through One Daily Tale. “This is a task that seems so difficult…” he thought. And for good reason, the understanding of the world, following the end of the War of Chaos, had highlighted…

  • Healthy Growth

    Healthy Growth

    The discovery of the StarDust had led the Espers to take a closer interest in how to develop it. One thing was clear in any case: it already shone extremely brightly, naturally, during pregnancy, but also throughout childhood. The Seven Shapes had therefore thought it necessary to create a society that promotes the healthy growth…

    Losing Sight of What Matters Most

    Simba, our little monkey friend, had roamed across the lands of the different elements. He had noticed one thing: while the elements differ on paper, the behaviors of the Espers were often the same, regardless of the element. He could see carefree young Espers, parents worried by the news of the day, disparities between the…

  • On Equal Terms

    On Equal Terms

    Cha Cha, our dear little platypus friend, was discussing one of his theories with Guruko. “When you think about a relationship on equal terms, we don’t usually think about comparing individuals from different countries. We often remain focused on a given country, often the one of our birth.” he thought. “Isn’t that normal? Many people…

    Without Discrimination

    Can we truly speak of equality of opportunity at birth when the place and conditions in which one is born vary greatly from one region of the planet to another? This was the reflection upon which Vati, the Shape of Wisdom, had been focusing. The end of the War of Chaos had revealed that the…

  • Homeostasis

    Homeostasis

    The self-regulation of organisms, which tends to bring them back to a state of balance when there is a fluctuation in levels, is now well understood. Thus, excesses — whether too much or too little — are detected, and systems are set in motion to return to a balanced value beneficial to the continuation of…

    Once in a Lifetime

    What image comes to mind when you think of the expression “once in a lifetime”? A beautiful encounter, a new beginning, perhaps an unexpected event. On Esperia, the notion of time was not so different from that on Earth. But the presence of Shala, the Shape of Time, had gradually changed the Espers’ approach to…
