One Daily Tale

🌎

Simple clothes and food

Eklea liked to hold on to this simple question.

“In the end, what truly defines who you are?”

It took time to reflect on such a question, and she knew that most Espers didn’t naturally ask themselves anything like this.

When you become too attached to the possessions you own, they begin to define you. If they were to disappear, you would feel lost, and your lifestyle would spiral into wanting more and more just to fill that space.

But by remembering that time is limited and that you cannot do everything at once, you realize that all the time and effort spent chasing material wealth is time and effort not invested in yourself.

Eklea was someone who wished to become the best version of herself, not through material things, but through her own behavior and attitude.

“Possessions don’t define me. I define myself through my daily behavior.”

    Trying to build a world where peace would prevail was not an easy mission at all. There were so many things to take into account, but the Seven Shapes agreed that flexibility should remain a point of focus. Because flexibility allows for communication, the ability to try new things, and even, at times, to take

    The Element of Wind focused on interactions with others more than the other elements. Of course, being of another element like Fire or Water didn’t prevent one from leaning toward this trait, but the Espers of the Wind had the most natural affinity for it. Instinctively, they could sense the presence of their inner Shadow,

    There were many debates taking place in the Great Library of Esperia, a place where all the Espers of the Five Elements could gather, discuss with one another, and exchange ideas and opinions.

    It had been a while since we last took a look at Guruko and Simba, her little platypus companion.

Indeed, some Espers still couldn’t believe in it and did not accept the fact that they had within them a Shadow they couldn’t control. However, the Seven Shapes truly believed that harmony in

    The discovery of the StarDust by the Espers marked the beginning of a new era of peace, led by the Seven Shapes. The StarDust was the perfect example of the Five Elements blending to become one whole. When they decided to write about it, the Seven Shapes thought deeply about this idea. “From the beginning,

    Faya, the Shape of Willpower, was considered by all the Espers to be the true incarnation of a strong-willed person. She was someone who could act calmly and boldly, guided by her own beliefs, even in difficult situations. But she was not always this strong Esper who became a model for others. “Little by little,
