Seeds of Time

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 was the perfect cadence to cultivate what she called the Seeds of Time.

It was understood that even a small amount of time, given daily to nurturing the Five Elements, would cause the StarDust to shine far brighter just a few days later. The results would not appear immediately, but little by little, progress could be seen.

This is what the Seeds of Time are: small portions of time dedicated to Health, Wisdom, Empathy, Awareness, and Willpower.

Over time, they grow, put down strong roots, and bear fruits of compassion, deeper understanding of the world, and care for nature.
