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.

    Cha Cha, our platypus friend, was thinking about what the “Modern World” had become—and how paradoxical it was. Thanks to new technologies that turned machines into the world’s new servants, life had become easier for some of the richest countries. But this comfort came at the cost of irreversible damage to the environment—damage that was…

    Before the end of the Chaos War, the concept of moderation scarcely existed among the Espers. They preferred to spend their time wielding magic and battling one another, unaware of the consequences. The birth of Atma, the Shape of Balance, transformed life in Esperia. The Seven Shapes placed moderation as a core principle in the…

    Esperia was built and envisioned so that harmony and peace would be its foundations. Nature and all the creatures living within it created a virtuous circle, and the Espers — the magical beings — finally understood that the restriction on their use of magic served a greater purpose on their interconnected and limited planet. This…

    What we come to see as “good” values and the proper behaviors to follow are learned throughout our lives. As children, we naturally mimic the actions and thoughts we observe — through the words and gestures of our parents, siblings, teachers, or friends we play with. When we are still very young, we hold no…

    Faya, the Shape of Willpower, often used comparisons to explain the principles she had to teach. For willpower, her element of fire offered an easy image to grasp—one that clearly showed how willpower has its limits. To keep a fire alive, you need the right amount of fuel. If the fire burns too fiercely, it…

    Since the collective consciousness of all Espers had finally been reached, health as a pillar of life was naturally embraced as the path to follow. The realization of the existence of both the StarDust and the Shadow within each of them brought about a profound and lasting change across Esperia. Health now stood at the…

    Eklea was reflecting on how Esperia had radically changed since the end of the Chaos War and the discovery of StarDust. “This created a collective consciousness,” she whispered. Indeed, the different elemental Espers had never thought of Esperia as a whole before this event. She believed that even if a few Espers were aware of…

    Gurumin, the Shape of Empathy and Compassion, had a beautiful voice, and for the pleasure of every Esper willing to listen, she loved to hum and sing. As the Element of Wind, her sweet melodies were carried gently through the calm breeze, and anyone who listened to her soft and delicate voice was reminded of…
