Slowing Down

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 reminded them how much slower the pace of Esperia had become compared to before, when they were still unaware of the StarDust, their Shadow, and the importance of the Seven Shapes.

Despite being the Shape of Time, Shala could not actually influence the flow of time. She could only remind those who sought her guidance of the importance of living in the present moment — that, in the end, every action that has been or will be done is always done in the now.

As Esperia grew more conscious, it became evident that with the restriction of magic, slowing down the rhythm of life was only natural.
