That Is None of Our Concern

Since the rise of magic on Esperia, the means of communication had greatly changed.

Until then, it had been difficult to obtain information from the other side of the planet in a short time; now, it had become extremely easy to receive news within seconds.

Nevertheless, in both cases, the truthfulness of statements and information had never been easy to verify.

The means of communication had developed to spread more and more information, ever more quickly, and to an ever larger audience.

But they had never been designed to spread more and more facts—truthful, approved, or confirmed.

While each day, “useful” time is limited, and we cannot do everything at once,
we must make choices.

These choices also apply to the information we decide to read, watch, or listen to.

And now, the choice is immense…

Yet highly directed, for if there is one thing the creators of these new means of communication have understood, it is what sells, what works, and what keeps the Espers glued to their platforms.

Esperia would not be in such a critical situation if these biases were directed toward truth, education, or the unity of an already fragile world.

It is themes of fear, violence, and mistrust that spread in abundance and draw in the crowds.

But that is none of our concern…

    What’s the best advice you could give to a child? Actually, more than words, it is how we behave each day that has the greatest influence on the education of the young. Faya, the Shape of Willpower, had mastered this principle and taught it in her own way. “It is our responsibility to act according

    All the Espers of Esperia knew about Kenko. She was the absolute incarnation of what one would imagine when thinking of proper health. Not only physically, but mentally as well, Kenko had, throughout the years and through daily effort, become the very Shape of Health. She would always say: “It’s not complicated, but it certainly

    While the end of the Chaos War brought a sudden state of peace to Esperia, the way the StarDust worked ushered in a period of necessary adaptation. The Seven Shapes did their best through the work of One Daily Tale, but the lingering Shadow within many Espers still prevailed over their StarDust. Yakara was a

    Though Esperia was now a united society where the different Elemental Espers tried their best to live in harmony, the Seven Shapes knew that at the core of a peaceful world were the daily lives of each Esper, especially their family.

    The Seven Shapes and the Espers agreed on rules concerning what they called a Limit Break.

    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

    The Seven Shapes were reflecting on how things had changed since the end of the Chaos War. “The discovery of the StarDust was truly the key to understanding ourselves,” thought Vati. “Yes, and Atma, the Shape of Balance, was also a missing element in being able to create One Daily Tale,” said Shala. “In order
