The Tales

Picture by Ri_Ya

Welcome to Esperia — A World of Harmony and Magic
In the enchanting world of Esperia, the Seven Shapes have united to bring peace and balance to all living beings.
At the heart of this harmony stand two guiding forces:
Shala, the Shape of Time,
and
Atma, the Shape of Balance.
They are joined by the Five Elemental Shapes, each embodying a vital force of nature and spirit:
Vati – Shape of Wisdom, bearer of Water
Gurumin – Shape of Empathy, guardian of Wind
Eklea – Shape of Awareness, spark of Lightning
Kenko – Shape of Health, soul of Earth
Faya – Shape of Willpower, flame of Fire
In this peaceful land, magical creatures known as the Espers nurture a radiant force called StarDust—a warm, glowing energy that lives within. It must be cared for every day to keep its light shining.
Through centuries of reflection, exploration, and love, the Espers have gathered their knowledge and stories into a single, ever-growing magical tome:
One Daily Tale
Let its pages guide you, inspire you, and help your own StarDust glow brighter—day by day.
Shala, The Shape of Time

    Empathy Beyond Borders

    What isn’t in front of our eyes is often ignored. The place you live in is your own little world. If you were lucky enough, you were born in a wealthy country, at peace, where your basic needs are met each day. But there are other places beyond the borders of your own space, where…

    The Limits of the World

    Vati held one of the most challenging responsibilities as the Shape of Wisdom. She had to convince the Espers that they lived in a world with limitations. A very difficult task! For magic could be seen everywhere they looked! Many young Espers naturally believed that anything was possible—as long as they kept discovering new forms…

    Back to Sobriety

    Cha Cha was investigating, alongside Guruko, the evolution of mankind over thousands of years by reading various books about history from all over planet Earth. What struck him was how, in just about two centuries—starting with the Industrial Revolution—the world had shifted to one where sobriety was quickly forgotten, where goods are now counted in…

    Time is Limited for Us

    In Esperia, even the most powerful and advanced magics have never been able to create immortality for the Espers. But they did not believe that their limited time was without meaning! On the contrary, they understood well that it was because their lives had an end that it was worth doing their best for the…

    Nurture your StarDust

    In Esperia, the Espers had perfectly grasped the importance of nurturing their StarDust—not only for their own good, but for the world they lived in and the other species around them. Shala reminded them that they needed to appreciate the time they had to do things, as the hours in a day were limited. Atma…

    The First Step

    Faya was explaining in her lesson about Willpower how the First Step was one of the most important keys to developing it. Some younger Espers had trouble understanding, so she used her own element, Fire, as an example. “In order to create a beautiful and heartwarming, cozy fire, what do we need first?” The young…

    Question your own beliefs

    Eklea’s teachings were certainly the most difficult to grasp. What exactly is awareness—or consciousness? To help the Espers, she always tried to use concrete examples. And the theme today was: “You should always question your own beliefs.”A younger one asked, “But if that’s what we’ve been taught, shouldn’t our beliefs be right?” “When you learn,…
