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.

    Cha Cha, our little platypus companion, gazed once again into the magic mirror at this unknown civilization, which nevertheless had many things in common with that of the Espers. This civilization called itself “magnificent.” But as Cha Cha became more interested in their planet, their history, and their evolution, “magnificent” was not really the word…

    The use of magic had greatly improved access to healthcare and had, as a result, significantly extended the life expectancy of the Espers in a remarkably short time.

    Gurumin, the Shape of Empathy, had been entrusted with the extremely complex task of becoming the symbol of a peaceful society, regardless of the element. Until now, the Espers of each element had seen others as potential threats. It therefore seemed obvious that a shift in paradigm regarding the trust placed in others was essential.…
