One Step a Day

The revelation of the StarDust profoundly changed the way Espers thought.

They now understood that a bright StarDust was the key to perceiving their own Shadow, and therefore gaining a deeper understanding of themselves.

Shala, the Shape of Time, was there to remind them that one step a day was all it could take to create significant results in the long term.

Because one step a day is easy to do, it may seem meaningless. But one step after another is what it takes to travel long distances.

“One step taken today creates a path toward a better self in the future,” said Shala.

She understood that thinking ahead wasn’t easy for many Espers. Focusing only on what was right in front of their eyes was their natural way of being.

With one step a day, new habits can be created. What kind of habits you choose to follow is entirely up to you.

    Since the rise of magic on Esperia, the means of communication had greatly changed. Until then, it had been difficult to obtain information from the other side of the planet in a short time; now, it had become extremely easy to receive news within seconds. Nevertheless, in both cases, the truthfulness of statements and information…

    Joriko, our very dear companion the red panda, had gradually become interested in the effects of consuming Aether, the life source of the planet. Learning more about its consequences, as well as the efforts that would be required, made anyone who understood the problem very anxious about the future… Since he had freed himself from…

    In a small village in the Land of Lightning lived a young Esper named Roboka. In a completely natural way, she imitated and repeated every action and gesture, not only of the other villagers, but also of the animals of the forest! Watching her try her very best to reproduce the sounds of fantastical creatures,…

    The task of rebuilding Esperia was daunting. If the consequences still seemed imperceptible, almost nonexistent, the damage had indeed been done. Aether, the life source of the planet, had been greatly reduced, and the natural process of its regeneration was slow—far slower than its consumption through the use of Esper magic. From now on, one…

    To rebuild Esperia on healthy foundations for all, it had become clear that it was necessary to reach a fair judgment of what is good and what is bad. “Easier said than done…” thought the Espers who had already reflected on this, yet also saw this idea as utopian and unrealistic. Vati, the Shape of…

    When we take a moment to look at the things around us, we see that rather than being still, they are made of cycles, of movements back and forth, of highs and lows. Even if it is not directly visible to our eyes, light and sound are waves that also have an oscillating motion. That…

    The notion of time passing is difficult to perceive, even for the Espers, who were now gifted with the ability to use magic. Though it had made life easier for everyone, it had not changed their relationship with the flow of time. Projecting oneself into the future is not an easy thing, especially when that…

    Esperia was in an extremely delicate situation. The planet itself would continue to exist for millions and millions of years to come. But for the living beings who inhabited it, the situation was far more complicated. Years of ecosystem destruction and the damage inflicted upon the environment of their planet had given rise to chaos,…
