Shala would ask the young Espers what came to their minds when thinking about events that occur only once in a lifetime. A very intrepid child replied first: “The birth of my younger sister!” “Indeed, the birth of a new life is something that becomes a great challenge for the parents.” Vati added: “Raising a…

The habits we build, one small step at a time, are like seeds that must be nurtured gently but steadily each day in order to bear fruit. “One step a day, day after day,” could be a way of thinking that every Esper remembers when seeing Shala. A few minutes of training or work may…

The revelation of the StarDust profoundly changed the way Espers thought. They now understood that a bright StarDust was the key to perceiving their own Shadow, and therefore gaining a deeper understanding of themselves. Shala, the Shape of Time, was there to remind them that one step a day was all it could take to…

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…

Shala and Vati discussed extensively the development of StarDust throughout the lifetime of an Esper. One of their conclusions was that even before the birth of a new Esper, the time spent in the mother’s womb had already begun to shape what its future StarDust would eventually become.

Shala, the Shape of Time, understood better than anyone how powerful habits were for the Espers. To nurture their StarDust, it was important that those habits be as healthy and beneficial to society as possible. Why? Because time each day is limited, and the StarDust functions in a special way: a few minutes of daily…

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…

The importance of time is often realized only when we finally perceive the fleeting nature of life. Shala, the Shape of Time, knew that better than anyone. Having lived through countless ages, she had watched entire civilizations rise and fall, and the endless cycle of life and death had brought her both joy and sorrow.…

Shala, the Shape of Time, had existed since the dawn of Time. She had witnessed countless worlds across the universes, yet Esperia was unlike any other. When the StarDust was revealed and Atma, the Shape of Balance, was born, Shala was moved beyond tears. Through Atma’s presence, Esperia became the first among the multitude of…
