One Daily Tale

🌎

Sincere and honest

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, and though, like all Espers, they could only truly grasp it after working on their StarDust, they could still faintly hear what it said.

Thus, the Espers of the Wind had a reputation for being sincere and honest—because they first had to be sincere and honest with themselves, understanding their own weaknesses before anything else.

The importance of preserving this trait of character throughout one’s lifetime, for any Esper, had now become a pillar of One Daily Tale.

The Seven Shapes, led by Gurumin, the Shape of Empathy, believed that if the Espers of the Wind could become living examples of sincerity and honesty, compassion would one day become the norm in Esperia.

    Joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. Human emotions may be what truly define us as “unique” among other living species. We find joy in the little pleasures life brings to us: the warmth of the sun rising in the morning, a cool breeze in summer, the beautiful colors of autumn leaves. Anger, sometimes, arises when we

    Among all, Vati was recognized as a true representation of Wisdom. But she liked to say that it was never a natural gift; it was nurtured with dedication and time. When asked how to persevere in becoming wiser, she would answer like this: “To keep an open mind and adapt to as many situations as

    The Seven Shapes reflected on what balance was truly about. “This isn’t about stillness,” said Vati, who liked the image of a wave to represent balance. Atma, the Shape of Balance, gently nodded in agreement. In some cultures, this idea was shown as light opposing darkness; in others, as the Yin and the Yang. It

    Shala, the Shape of Time, often discussed this topic with the other Shapes. Just like us humans, the Espers had a finite life. So how to spend their time until the end was a question that sparked many debates in Esperia. Some believed that since they had only a few years to live, living life

    Is this reality truly understood? When we look at how the governments of the richest countries behave, it doesn’t seem so. A consensus on climate change should be obvious. “Because others don’t act, why should we? We’ll just lose the economic war.” Well, since we — unfortunately? — share the same boat, and it’s the

    The StarDust, like all things, is governed by rules. With Vati’s guidance, the Seven Shapes soon came to understand this. And one of these rules concerned Willpower, and how its use was like drawing from a shared pool. Whenever an Esper used their will to take on tasks that were frustrating or required deep focus,

    This was one of the mottos of Kenko, the Shape of Health. “A bit of exercise every day is far more effective in the long run than one full day of training, followed by months of nothing.” Now that the StarDust is known by all the Espers, it makes complete sense. Shala always reminds the

    Eklea and Vati soon became very good friends. Eklea, the Shape of Awareness, always loved asking questions, which came to her mind as swiftly as her Element of Lightning. In Vati, the Shape of Wisdom, she found a companion who would always listen and think along with her. Vati was often surprised by the questions
