Persevering After Failures

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 not only other individuals who have supported us but remain less visible, but also a great deal of luck, and repeated failures to overcome.

“Successes are easily visible and attractive at first glance. What we do not see, like our StarDust, is not really what matters most?”

“Results without effort do not awaken the fire that sleeps within us.”

A young Esper, a little surprised, then asked.

“But still, heroes and other legends are always highlighted. Many always praise their merits and their glories.”

“Now that we are fortunate enough to better understand our StarDust, we also know that the Lightning element, linked to consciousness, is also to be developed.”

“It then becomes easier to distinguish myths from reality and to appreciate the things that truly help us.”

    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 7 Shapes first began working on their project, they thought about how to make the best use of the StarDust. Because Shala was there, they understood that setting a daily time limit was essential to consider. They also all agreed that, for habits to be “realistically doable,” they needed to be simple and

    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
