Strength in Unity

The Seven Shapes had become the symbol that there is strength in unity.

Each elemental land was represented, and while each element had its strengths and weaknesses, the Espers had understood that the union of the elements could create a force far greater than all of them separately.

On an individual level, this developed the StarDust.

On a global level, this made true harmony with the ecosystem possible.

The global scale, which, until before the war, had existed only to serve the economy of a system that had never tried to create a global charter, with the richest helping the poorest.

This had often been seen on the scale of a land, where civil wars had emerged when the gap between the rich and the poor grew greater and greater, and when unity among the populations began to crack.

Just as children need help to develop, lands that had not necessarily had the same opportunities, simply because of their position on the planet, sometimes also needed the empathy of more fortunate lands.

A land with access to an enormous amount of magic had done nothing to deserve it. It was simply the planet that had created these deposits of magic over millions of years, which had later been discovered by the Espers…

On a planet with limited resources, and with enough Espers to have an impact on the ecosystem of the entire planet, it was necessary for everyone to unite their strengths and think about the future of everyone.

The question was simple.

What future did they truly want?

    By the Union of All

    The task of rebuilding Esperia was daunting. If the consequences still seemed imperceptible, almost nonexistent, the damage had indeed been done. Aether, the life source of the planet, had been greatly reduced, and the natural process of its regeneration was slow—far slower than its consumption through the use of Esper magic. From now on, one…

    Fair Judgment

    To rebuild Esperia on healthy foundations for all, it had become clear that it was necessary to reach a fair judgment of what is good and what is bad. “Easier said than done…” thought the Espers who had already reflected on this, yet also saw this idea as utopian and unrealistic. Vati, the Shape of…

    A mixture of jewels and pebbles

    When we take a moment to look at the things around us, we see that rather than being still, they are made of cycles, of movements back and forth, of highs and lows. Even if it is not directly visible to our eyes, light and sound are waves that also have an oscillating motion. That…

    Time Passes Quickly

    The notion of time passing is difficult to perceive, even for the Espers, who were now gifted with the ability to use magic. Though it had made life easier for everyone, it had not changed their relationship with the flow of time. Projecting oneself into the future is not an easy thing, especially when that…
