Peaceful and calm

When they began writing One Daily Tale, the Seven Shapes understood that to unite all the Espers of the five different Elements, it was essential to create bonds linking each of them.

The discovery of the StarDust was the key element that had been missing all along—until now!

It was the common thread among all Espers, and it could now serve as a reference point for working together toward a peaceful and calm planet, where all five Elements finally collaborated.

“Until now, the differences between the Elements made us distrust each other. This is how our instincts work, and it helped us survive until now,” said Vati, the Shape of Wisdom.

“But now that we know about the StarDust that lies within everyone, it can become the principle we all trust—a reference for all, no matter which Element we come from!” continued Eklea, the Shape of Awareness.

“It will require effort—from all of us. Especially those with greater magical power, and those who have been blessed with wealth since birth… This will require change from everyone. Not an easy task…” wondered Faya, the Shape of Willpower.

“Yes, but we also know that working together as one has always been the key to peace. The StarDust…” concluded Gurumin, the Shape of Empathy.

    Feeling Alone in the World

    Seeing the world from a different perspective than others can be alienating, and can then make you feel as though you are alone in the world.

  • Learning from Mistakes

    Learning from Mistakes

    The Espers were far from perfect. Learning from their mistakes was therefore also a natural way for them to grow.But in a society where the right to make mistakes was becoming less and less accepted, learning from one’s own mistakes was also becoming increasingly difficult.

    Perceiving the dilemmas

    The challenge the Seven Shapes had set themselves was far from simple. Trying to rebuild a civilization after a war that had decimated the population and a large part of the ecosystem seemed an almost insurmountable task.

  • Against the Current

    Against the Current

    Making the right choices is not often easy. Especially when the almost insurmountable flow of society as a whole imposes a vision from which it is difficult to break free. Thinking or acting against the current then becomes a trial that is at once discouraging, irritating, and sometimes almost ridiculous, yet within which a glimmer…

  • Is There Really a Need?

    Is There Really a Need?

    The period of abundance brought about by the massive and limitless use of magic had come to an end. Not by choice, as might have happened if the Espers had managed to agree on difficult questions, such as the consequences of their actions on Aether, the planet’s source of life, or the inequalities caused by…

  • Interdependence in a Limited World

    Interdependence in a Limited World

    The Seven Shapes had clearly understood that, in order to rebuild Esperia, everyone’s efforts would be necessary, whatever their element. The period preceding the War of Chaos had developed, throughout all the elemental lands, the understandable but fruitless feeling that the fault always lay with others and that making efforts oneself only meant putting oneself…

  • Taking Mental Health Seriously

    Taking Mental Health Seriously

    If there is one thing that is difficult for the Espers to do, it is to properly take into consideration everything that is not visible to their eyes: the future rather than the present moment, the system as a whole rather than their personal situation, the general Shadow of their entire civilization… And mental health…

  • Recognizing Your Own Faults

    Recognizing Your Own Faults

    For the Espers, managing to recover the artifact of lightning, the spark of thunder, was perhaps the most difficult ordeal for most of them. To do so, they had to cross a region known as the thunderstruck plains, where Aether had accumulated and given birth to a place where lightning struck randomly and without interruption.…
