One Daily Tale

Mens sana in corpore sano

While knowledge of a healthy way of life is of course important, Kenko, the Shape of Health, emphasizes practice above all. Because to have “a healthy mind in a healthy body,” you must care for both!

Body and mind are connected, and since time is limited and balance is key, Kenko always reminded the Espers that both must be nurtured daily.

“I know, everyone has their own preference. Some like to exercise, for some it’s easier to eat well, and others care for their mind by reading or spending time with compassion.”

“What about those who don’t really enjoy any of that?”

“This is where my friend Faya, the Shape of Willpower and Element of Fire, can help! Doing the things we don’t feel like doing actually strengthens us even more. Ironic, isn’t it?”

    Kenko, the Shape of Health, knew too well that most of the Espers would not want to hear her words at first. Why? Because she knew that once one has tasted the ease of luxury, of addiction through alcohol, and forgotten the hardship of simply being able to eat every day, it requires far more

    The End of the Chaos War came when the Five Great Elements used their most powerful spell together, all at once, revealing for the first time in the history of Esperia the existence of the StarDust. From that moment on, the world finally understood the need for rapid change, having damaged its own planet more

    Now that the teachings of One Daily Tale had become the common educational writings for all the Espers of Esperia, following its principles had become evident and natural. But newborn Espers were all born as complete blank pages, shaped by their closest environment. Some Espers who had been very powerful in the past, when Chaos

    Now that Esperia was finally at peace, it became natural for the five different Elements to work together and share their knowledge and skills. When they were still at war, they simply couldn’t realize—blinded by hatred and fear of others—the need for the other Elements to sustain their own land. Water, through rivers, lakes, or

    Who hasn’t heard the term, but who has really thought about it? Guruko, who was very intrigued by the human race on Earth, was once again looking through the magical mirror at their civilization. “They are quite interesting living beings, aren’t they?” said Cha Cha, her platypus companion, who had just walked into the room

    What was unprecedented on Esperia was how detached from power and status the founders of One Daily Tale were. The Seven Shapes were mainly symbols of what good behavior toward one’s StarDust could lead to: harmony and peace. They were living examples of what they wrote as guides for everyone, themselves included. In the past,

    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

    If there was one thing Faya tried to avoid the most, it was shifting the blame for her own mistakes onto others. As the Shape of Willpower, and the Great Element of Fire, she always took responsibility for her actions, even when those actions turned out to be mistakes. “I know it can be easier
