Losing unity

Once again, Guruko and her platypus companion Cha Cha were observing human society on Earth.

Cha Cha, also known as Simba as his pen name (he wants to become a philosopher-writer!), was thinking about the two different paths that seemed possible for humanity regarding the new technology they were now developing.

“Once again, it seems these human beings can’t find a way to harmonize, even though they now understand that they share the same planet and should unite as one common species…”

Guruko continued, “That’s true. If Esperia were to lose the unity it has built since the creation of One Daily Tale by the Seven Shapes, it might begin to resemble what we are observing in their civilization.”

“The whole plan to develop the StarDust in every Esper was the first time true unity ever found its place, as a common goal for everyone,” thought Cha Cha.

“Yes, but this time, the development of their current technology may push their own species into an unknown chaos,” sighed Guruko.

“Hey, but you know, the Esperia we now know was built at the end of the Chaos War. Maybe they, too, will have to understand the hard way—and perhaps this kind of revelation is shared by many civilizations throughout the universes!” said Cha Cha.

And when we consider that our

    The Fountain of Wisdom

    There was a place in the heart of the Land of the Shape of Wisdom, Esperia, where every young Esper had to visit when their StarDust began to take shape. It was called the Fountain of Wisdom. Deep beneath the ground of Esperia flowed a natural fountain, whose waters spread into rivers that bathed all

    The Basic Physiological Needs

    On Esperia, instead of food or water, the Espers could replenish their magical energy by being in contact with nature—by being gently caressed by the flow of water, and by feeling the flowery breeze of the wind passing through the leaves. They also needed to sleep, so that their StarDust could recharge and shine brightly

    Open your mind

    In Esperia, when the 7 Shapes wrote One Daily Tale, they thought deeply about one aspect that was utterly important: having an open mind. Why? Because it was one of the fundamental keys to creating a world filled with harmony. With an open mind, two seemingly opposite ideas can eventually merge into one. The concept

    That is the question. Or more precisely, why should we act—or not? I understand you may be skeptical about trying to do things for other adults, who themselves have the choice to act or not. But children don’t, and it becomes a responsibility—whether we like it or not. We are all born in different places,
