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.

    Joliko, our little red panda companion, had finally freed himself from several addictions that he had chained together, one to escape another. Since then, he had regained what many individuals in modern society had lost: time. Time for himself, to reflect, and to try to understand the world in which he lived, as well as…

    Simba, our little monkey companion from the land of lightning, was beginning to see a little more clearly when it came to awareness. This was mysterious: it now seemed innate to the Espers of the planet, while still needing to be developed. Although he had sensed that several levels of awareness seemed to exist, he…

    Seeing the world from a different perspective than others can be alienating, and can then make you feel as though you are alone in the world. Cha Cha, our little platypus companion, had long been very detached from what was considered normal. As with everyone, what he had experienced during his childhood and the environment…

    The Espers were far from perfect. Learning from their mistakes was therefore also a natural way for them to grow.But in a society where the right to make mistakes was becoming less and less accepted, learning from one’s own mistakes was also becoming increasingly difficult. The image of success had changed. At the height of…

    The challenge the Seven Shapes had set themselves was far from simple. Trying to rebuild a civilization after a war that had decimated the population and a large part of the ecosystem seemed an almost insurmountable task. But things had changed, and therein lay the hope for a society finally acting in a modern way.…

    Making the right choices is not often easy. Especially when the almost insurmountable flow of society as a whole imposes a vision from which it is difficult to break free. Thinking or acting against the current then becomes a trial that is at once discouraging, irritating, and sometimes almost ridiculous, yet within which a glimmer…

    The period of abundance brought about by the massive and limitless use of magic had come to an end. Not by choice, as might have happened if the Espers had managed to agree on difficult questions, such as the consequences of their actions on Aether, the planet’s source of life, or the inequalities caused by…

    The Seven Shapes had clearly understood that, in order to rebuild Esperia, everyone’s efforts would be necessary, whatever their element. The period preceding the War of Chaos had developed, throughout all the elemental lands, the understandable but fruitless feeling that the fault always lay with others and that making efforts oneself only meant putting oneself…
