Synergistic Cooperation

The Seven Shapes had clearly understood that while ideas could give birth to utopias, addressing the reality of a problem obviously required practical implementation, a plan, and achievable concrete actions.

“It is necessary to involve the Five Elements. If nothing has truly been done in that direction until now, then it is indeed time to finally create a cooperation that will, moreover, be synergistic,” commented Vati.

“Synergistic?” asked Kenko.

“Yes. While each element has been able to develop considerably on its own, by combining their efforts, the results can be multiplied.”

Eklea added:

“By accepting each other’s strengths and weaknesses, by recognizing that differences exist without any bias of superiority, we can create a system of independent actors who nevertheless act for the same cause.”

“Rather than trying at all costs to elevate only one’s own element, we must elevate all the elements, for the Espers of course, but also for the other life forms on the planet.”

Kenko continued:

“Yes, because health also depends, of course, on the environment in which we live. It has been facing a major crisis since the War of Chaos… But at least now we know how crucial the ecosystem in which we live is for everyone.”

“So it begins by creating a system in which essential values are discussed systematically, every day, by the Five Elements,” thought Faya.

“Yes, because our StarDust must be nourished day after day…” added Gurumin.

    The primary instincts of the Esper species pushed them to act naturally for their individual survival before anything else.

    A Sick Society

    The world before the Chaos War displayed many symptoms of a sick society, rotten to the core with heightened individual desires.

    Global Vision of the World

    For centuries, the Espers of the different elemental regions had developed without understanding that they were part of a whole.

    Giving Your Trust

    The Seven Shapes continued to study the Shadow of the civilization of the Espers that had been perceived when the StarDust was revealed before everyone’s eyes.

    Learning to Think

    Vati, the Shape of Wisdom, had spent a long time thinking about which pillars were essential for creating a society in which harmony between peoples from different backgrounds would be possible, while also trying to preserve the ecosystem in which they lived.

    The Importance of Nuance

    The values of Esper civilization, decided following the end of the Chaos War, had been chosen not without difficulty, after sometimes long and tedious, yet essential, discussions about points and subjects that had never truly been addressed before. The revelation of the StarDust, as well as the existence of Atma, the Shape of Balance, had…

    What Will the World Look Like for Future Generations

    If the answer to this question can only be a matter of supposition, one thing is certain: it is the choices made today that will shape the future for generations to come. The Seven Shapes understood well that the Espers, and their Shadow even more so, were creatures naturally inclined to think of themselves first.…

    A Movement on Two Fronts

    For the Seven Shapes, it had become obvious. To rebuild Esperia on sound foundations, it was necessary to act on two fronts simultaneously. The first was the systemic level: institutions needed to find the courage to impose laws consistent with shared values embraced by all the lands of the planet. The second was the development…
