Natural Balance

Living things have a natural way of staying balanced and stable.
When it’s hot outside, your body regulates itself by sweating so it doesn’t overheat. When your body needs energy, you feel hungry. When you need water, you feel thirsty.

There is a natural balance that keeps you healthy. If you eat too much, you may get sick. If you don’t eat enough, you will grow weak.

However, the signals we receive from the outside world are far from balanced. We are bombarded with stimuli through almost all our senses. Most often, this comes through our eyes, with long hours of screen exposure and flashy ads. But there is also noise pollution, like the constant flow of traffic. On top of that, we are surrounded by invisible waves, such as those from Wi-Fi, which our brains absorb passively.

All of these put a strain on our natural process of balance.

    Eklea loved challenging the young Espers with small mental games. “Think about how you see the world. Look around you, and try to imagine viewing it through the eyes of your best friend sitting beside you, the tree in Esperia’s garden nearby, or even one of the countless stars shining in our night sky!” “By

    For children, they are your parents and siblings. Then come friends at school or work. Later, a partner, and your own children. Then the cycle repeats. With the flow of time, we sometimes forget to truly care for our loved ones. Old history may have loosened bonds, or simply living our lives leads us down

    When working on One Daily Tale, Vati had the important task of creating the backbone of what “Wisdom” would be built upon. Of course, it was now understood that working with the StarDust, and learning about one’s own Shadow, was essential. But unfortunately, the history of wars between the Five Elements does not vanish so

    Now that it was known and understood that using magic consumed Aether—the source of life for all living creatures on Esperia—it had become natural for the Espers to take care in how they used magic. How? Because their StarDust also produced Aether, they could determine how much magic each of them could use while still

    Shala was entrusted with a very difficult task: to guide the Espers in living fully in the present while honoring the past and striving for a brighter future. The cycle of day and night on Esperia was much like that of Earth, and the Espers needed rest during the night. For Shala, this natural rhythm

    When the Chaos War ended, a moment of pure stillness was felt by all the Espers who had fought endlessly for years upon years. Even though the StarDust had finally been discovered, an entire world still needed to be rebuilt… Just the thought of such a colossal task brought feelings of hopelessness and inaction. This

    Kenko, the Shape of Health and Element of Earth, wasn’t the flashiest of all the Shapes, but she was always considered the one you could truly rely on. She was the living example that working on the fundamentals daily bears fruit, and that these basics become the foundation for everything else. Without good health, everything
