Many Exceptional People

Ancient myths tell of an era when a king, surrounded by exceptional people, succeeded in bringing peace to his kingdom.

“What made them so different from the others?” asked a young Esper, eager to learn more about the story that intrigued him.

Eklea, the Shape of Consciousness, began to smile and replied: “That is an excellent question! But unfortunately, as is often the case when stories describe talented people, only the results are shown. Their journey, and the way they managed to overcome their trials, are often set aside…”

Vati, the Shape of Wisdom, continued: “Yes, that is why, if there are people you admire, you should try to learn more about their personal path.”

Eklea went on: “We chose this theme today to make you reflect on this. On Esperia, we now know that developing our StarDust is the key to a world in harmony, between the living beings who inhabit it and nature.”

“In this way, by following this personal path to develop it, we are all exceptional people!” concluded Vati.

    Kenko, the Shape of Health, was certain of one thing: unless the basic needs of the Espers were made a priority, Esperia would never know true peace. The right to proper sleep, and access to healthy food and clean water for all, were the very first steps toward creating a harmonious society. These fundamentals were…

    The Shape of Awareness and Element of Lightning, Eklea, had quite an electric temperament. She loved to bounce from place to place, and as swiftly as roaring thunder, she would try to teach consciousness to anyone willing to listen. But when someone was truly all ears, she could also calm down, creating a gentle electrical…

    Does this title sound cliché? I guess so. But is it true? Absolutely. Of course, the word love carries as many meanings as there are human beings on our shared planet. For most of us, the first love we experience is that of our mother, who carries us for months and cares for us by…

    Cha Cha, our platypus friend, was thinking about what the “Modern World” had become—and how paradoxical it was. Thanks to new technologies that turned machines into the world’s new servants, life had become easier for some of the richest countries. But this comfort came at the cost of irreversible damage to the environment—damage that was…

    Before the end of the Chaos War, the concept of moderation scarcely existed among the Espers. They preferred to spend their time wielding magic and battling one another, unaware of the consequences. The birth of Atma, the Shape of Balance, transformed life in Esperia. The Seven Shapes placed moderation as a core principle in the…

    Esperia was built and envisioned so that harmony and peace would be its foundations. Nature and all the creatures living within it created a virtuous circle, and the Espers — the magical beings — finally understood that the restriction on their use of magic served a greater purpose on their interconnected and limited planet. This…

    What we come to see as “good” values and the proper behaviors to follow are learned throughout our lives. As children, we naturally mimic the actions and thoughts we observe — through the words and gestures of our parents, siblings, teachers, or friends we play with. When we are still very young, we hold no…

    Faya, the Shape of Willpower, often used comparisons to explain the principles she had to teach. For willpower, her element of fire offered an easy image to grasp—one that clearly showed how willpower has its limits. To keep a fire alive, you need the right amount of fuel. If the fire burns too fiercely, it…
