Radiant and Innocent

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 being.

For the Wind element, Empathy was the key, and that is why the young Espers were naturally imbued with this element.

In the past, this often surprised the adults, because few Espers developed elements other than the one they had been taught.

If no one had asked the question of why until then, the answer was nevertheless simple: the innocence of the young made access to the Wind element possible.

This innocence is often not lost in adults. It is simply buried, sometimes deep within them, sometimes less so. But always locked inside a small cage that only asks to be opened again.

Where is the key to this cage?
It is right there, within each of us.

How can it be found?

Well, it is simple.

First, one only needs to take the first step, listen to one’s heart again, and let it speak.

    “The circle of life,” Gurumin said with a smile, knowing those words would awaken childhood memories in some hearts. “A new generation arrives, and the older one passes on its experience, its knowledge, and its skills.” “Then it becomes their turn to teach, and the cycle continues.” Yet this obvious truth had gradually faded away,…

    A Magnificent Humanity?

    Cha Cha, our little platypus companion, gazed once again into the magic mirror at this unknown civilization, which nevertheless had many things in common with that of the Espers.

    Adapting to an Ageing Population

    The use of magic had greatly improved access to healthcare and had, as a result, significantly extended the life expectancy of the Espers in a remarkably short time. The downside was that the Espers did not seem to have considered the consequences such an achievement would bring. The massive increase in population was indeed creating…
