The use of magic had intensified with its emergence, whatever the element: water, wind, lightning, earth, and fire.

Magic had made life so much easier that, little by little, the relationship of the Espers — the creatures who had developed the use of magic — with nature and their planet had faded away.

Some had already understood that the use of magic had a cost: Aether, the life source of the planet, was consumed a little more with each use.

No one had realized that the five elements were only part of a whole, and that the solution had been before their eyes from the very beginning: the essential lay in the cooperation of the five elements, together.

    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?

    “Every moment is a once-in-a-lifetime event,” Shala, the Shape of Time, would often remind the young Espers. 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
