Nurture your StarDust

In Esperia, the Espers had perfectly grasped the importance of nurturing their StarDust—not only for their own good, but for the world they lived in and the other species around them.

Shala reminded them that they needed to appreciate the time they had to do things, as the hours in a day were limited.

Atma taught them about the limitations of the world they lived in, and that even if they could use magic, no magic could restore land that had been utterly destroyed.

Vati explained how the different elements each Esper possessed were a strength, and how working together was the path to harmony.

Gurumin gently narrated stories of ancient Espers, often unknown, who had helped the weaker ones and devoted their magic to building a better life in Esperia for all.

Eklea focused on nurturing curiosity, so the Espers would remain aware not only of themselves, but also of the world around them.

Kenko showed them that a healthy lifestyle was achievable for anyone.

And Faya cheered them on—to embrace new challenges, or sometimes, to simply begin to act.
