Taking Time

The events that preceded the beginning of the War of Chaos nevertheless carried a sense of déjà vu.

Each of the elements was caught in a frantic race to develop new technologies that would allow them, on the one hand, to satisfy their desire to dominate the world and, on the other, to pursue their dreams of immortality.

Shala, the Shape of Time, watched with sadness as this civilization, once again, caused harm not only to itself, but also to the planet’s global ecosystem.

If only they would take the time…” she thought.

Yet small voices were beginning to rise everywhere, calling for a fairer world that would finally take into account the real challenges that needed to be faced right now.

Challenges that were nevertheless pushed into the background by leaders who were increasingly driven by profit and the acceleration of growth, no matter the cost.

Small voices that understood that the moment was crucial, and that taking the time to ask the right questions, to reflect on them together, and to dedicate themselves to solving them had become vital.

Not for themselves, because the consequences would only be felt in the years to come.

    The use of magic by the Espers transformed their world in a radical way. Not only had it forever changed the ecosystem of their planet, but it had also greatly complicated their society.

    Even a fool can have a good idea

    In today’s lesson, Vati, the Forme of Wisdom, wanted to remind something essential. What had made the strength of the Espers until now was neither magic, nor their intelligence, nor their physical strength. What had made the Espers capable of such feats was communication and mutual help. Some new technologies had made dialogue between different…

    The Good and the Bad Sides

    The representative color of Atma, the Shape of Balance, was a deep blue reminiscent of the oceans. The ebb and flow of its waves, its highs and lows, formed an image now associated with balance.

    Feeling the Impermanence of Time

    If there was one thing the Espers were not made for, it was to feel the impermanence of time. Whether it concerned the past or the future, everything that is not the present or close to it quickly becomes abstract, taking shape through stories. These stories are then shaped by their experience, lived or learned,…

    Acting in Concert

    For Esperia, this was the discovery of the StarDust, revealed to all at the end of the Chaos War, which had been the trigger for the Espers to finally act in concert. Indeed, for years, despite technological progress and even learning to use magic, which had made many tedious tasks child’s play, the inertia of…

  • Obligations and Emotions

    Obligations and Emotions

    The Espers were not the only creatures on their planet endowed with consciousness; animals or even plants had evolved to develop it as well. Vangel was a creature that resembled a small dog. After the loss of his mother, he had fallen into despair, and had not realized that he had gradually lost the ability…

  • Mental Discipline

    Mental Discipline

    If some saw the rigor of a daily training of the mind as a limitation to their freedom, Kenko, the Shape of Health, often reminded them that good health was not only physical, but also in the mind. Thus, to rebuild Esperia on healthier foundations, it was also necessary to rethink the foundations of a…
