My Heart Will Go On

Gurumin, the Shape of Empathy, understood more than anyone else the power of sound and music to soothe minds.

It was soon discovered that music held a mysterious ability: to create a harmonious resonance among all the StarDusts who heard the same song.

Gurumin naturally loved to hum sweet melodies which, as the Element of Wind, could be carried by a gentle breeze to all who wished to listen.

These melodies had the power to calm, to reinvigorate, and even to help in difficult times, such as the loss of a loved one.

Gurumin often said:

“This isn’t about forgiving, nor forgetting. It is about letting your heart finally release, and begin its journey to move on. This is a task only you can do. But as long as you care for your StarDust, the path will appear clear before you. All you must do is follow it.”

    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

    This time, Kenko, the Shape of Health, raised the difficult question of exhaustion—of being completely worn out. “I understand that some of you think this may be a sign that you are working hard, or doing your best,” said Kenko. “But you also need to remember how your StarDust works, and how it needs rest

    The Espers were magical creatures able to shape reality itself through their powers. Some were said to possess so much power that they could even bend the laws of time and space… With that in mind, it was a world where the question of what was real and what was shaped by magic was omnipresent.

    “Why can’t every day be sunny? I don’t like it when it rains…” asked a young Esper. “Your point of view is very understandable,” replied Atma, the Shape of Balance. “But think about this: if it were sunny all the time, the nature of Esperia would be completely different, as it needs rain to grow.”
