Natural Laziness

This course was designed by Faya, the Shape of Willpower, with the help of the other Shapes. The title was chosen to help the Espers become aware of their own behavior, and Eklea, the Shape of Awareness, was there to remind them of that.

Understanding how their system worked as living beings was the first step toward realizing why it was important to overcome their natural laziness—to make their StarDust shine.

Espers are creatures that try to make the least effort. For anything! That’s where building willpower can help—so that the things that need to be done actually get done.

Faya liked to use the image of a fire when teaching the younger Espers.

“We all have a fire burning inside us. But this fire needs care and attention to stay alive. Unfortunately, we often forget about it.”

“Remember your fire, and it will help you overcome your natural laziness.”

    The recognition of this principle had allowed Esperia to be rebuilt on fairer foundations for all. Remembering daily the presence of Shala, the Shape of Time, was a way for the Espers to remind themselves that life was ephemeral, allowing them to appreciate not only their own existence more intensely, but also the lives of…

    “Try for a moment to imagine a world where prejudice exists for no one.” “In this world, differences of origin, base element, or sex do not influence our personal feelings in any way.” “A mutual respect, regardless of the individual, is then created naturally. Like the youngest ones who, not yet marked by society’s prejudices,…

    The lesson of the day was dear to Faya, the Shape of Will, and was titled “Persevering After Failures.” Even though she had become the Great Element of Fire, and was admired for her fighting spirit and the strength of her inner fire, she often reminded the young Espers that behind every success there are…

    If the concept of the five elements often seemed rather abstract at first for young Espers, the element of Earth was certainly the easiest for them to understand first. Indeed, an Esper in good health is immediately noticeable among others: a more athletic body, neither too thin, showing a lack of physical exercise, nor too…

    The Great Library of Esperia had become a life-sized example of what a civilization built on values shared by all could become, regardless of their main element or their origin. It would have been unimaginable just a few years earlier to see the Espers of the five different elements unite for a single common cause:…

    The youngest Espers all shared the radiant and innocent purity that belongs to children. This allowed them to naturally use the Wind element, regardless of their base element. Now that the link between magic and the StarDust had been established, the Espers finally understood that every magic was in reality the emanation of their own…

    The end of the Chaos War was the perfect opportunity to finally rebuild Esperia on solid foundations that had until now been ignored. Vati, the Form of Wisdom, was worried about how things would unfold, for it required envisioning the world in the long term. “Many Espers will resist making the necessary changes…” she thought.Indeed,…

    The discussion of the day was about the importance of maintaining a balance between rights and duties. Vati, the Shape of Wisdom, reminded them:“For a long time, we did not know that using magic consumed a little of the Aether each time, the precious life source of our planet.” “Then it becomes a duty to…
