One Daily Tale

🌎

Right and Wrong

Trying to build a society where everyone can be happy is far from easy. Esperia, though striving to be peaceful, still had a lot of work ahead. But one thing remained clear to the Seven Shapes: if a consensus could be found about what is right and wrong, things would go more smoothly.

One Daily Tale was created as a guide to help every Esper develop the StarDust that had been hidden within them until now.

The principles were simple and formed the basis of what could be considered right and wrong.

But simple does not mean easy, nor natural—especially for some of the Espers who enjoyed their advantages, having been granted greater magical powers that helped them rise above others.

“Peace and harmony cannot be achieved without effort from everyone,” thought Vati, the Shape of Wisdom.

“And the more power and strength you are blessed with, the more responsibility you have to become a model for others, and for the young ones.”

    Ever since the Espers had developed their ability to use magic, many believed that they had finally succeeded in creating what was known as a modern society. When it came to technology, it was true that there was nothing comparable between the world made possible by magic and the world of the past. But one…

    The civilization of the Espers before the Chaos War had gradually drifted away from its foundations. It was becoming increasingly difficult for them to give importance to their basic physiological needs, because these needs were no longer right in front of them. For many, the days when searching for food took up most of the…

    How can we not naturally think that we are at the center of the world when we see the world only through our own eyes? This was the starting point of a reflection by Eklea, the Shape of Consciousness, concerning a paradox of Esper civilization: on an individual scale, an act may seem entirely rational.…

    Observing how the civilization of the Espers behaved before the Chaos War, one might believe that they were all afflicted by a destructive madness, or were desperately trying to get the better of others at their expense. In reality, most Espers were simply doing their best every day just to live. And among them, some…

    The world before the Chaos War was quite a bewildering spectacle. On the one hand, the use of magic had given the Espers technologies that allowed them to satisfy their thirst for individuality and freedom, which they championed under the banner of modernity. But on the other hand, the system in which they lived had…

    The civilization of the Espers had gradually moved away from what was nevertheless necessary to meet their natural physiological needs. Being able to feed themselves had become an ordinary act, with no apparent connection to nature, its resources, or the ecosystem of which they were nevertheless a part. Why was it important, in the eyes…

    Caught up in their own emotions, who has never felt resentment toward someone else, only to later forget even the original reason for the conflict? The new Esperia that the Seven Shapes were trying to rebuild was now founded on principles shared by everyone. Since Shala, the Shape of Time, had become a symbol that…

    The undertaking begun by the Seven Shapes since the end of the Chaos War, to reshape society in a fairer way for everyone and in harmony with the planet’s ecosystem, was obviously a daunting one. Numerous debates and discussions on a wide variety of subjects had emerged, sometimes themselves branching off into other discussions, either…
