The absurdity of the world

Trying to create a world where peace prevails and all the Espers can live in harmony is no simple task.

The Seven Shapes themselves had to do their best every day and apply the principles they had written together in One Daily Tale.

“How the StarDust works makes things a bit difficult. It is so easy to fall back into bad habits: often, they may be useful for a short time, but as a whole, they become very detrimental. Good habits may seem useless, but they will reap their fruits in the long run and make the StarDust shine brighter,” said Vati, the Shape of Wisdom.

“If we Espers let things go on as they are, without intervention or guidance, the balance of the Five Elements will not be naturally created. We must remind ourselves of Atma, the Shape of Balance,” said Faya, the Shape of Willpower.

“This is how it has been for thousands of years, and the results have been nothing but countless disputes and endless wars…” said Eklea, the Shape of Awareness.

    Guruko and Simba, her platypus companion, continued to observe and learn from human society on Earth. It reminded them greatly of how Esperia was before the end of the Chaos War.

    Esperia didn’t become the world we know it as—one of peace and harmony—in a day, nor easily. Every Esper had to go through hardships, but the end of the Chaos War finally became a much-needed rallying point, uniting and combining the desire for true peace for everyone. “Every Esper, at their own level, would have…

    Kenko, the Great Element of Earth, often worked together with Vati, the Great Element of Water, and Gurumin, the Great Element of Wind. The three of them were often charged with thinking ahead so that nature could be preserved and its importance maintained in Esperia.

    Trying to build a world where peace would prevail was not an easy mission at all. There were so many things to take into account, but the Seven Shapes agreed that flexibility should remain a point of focus. Because flexibility allows for communication, the ability to try new things, and even, at times, to take…

    The Element of Wind focused on interactions with others more than the other elements. Of course, being of another element like Fire or Water didn’t prevent one from leaning toward this trait, but the Espers of the Wind had the most natural affinity for it. Instinctively, they could sense the presence of their inner Shadow,…

    There were many debates taking place in the Great Library of Esperia, a place where all the Espers of the Five Elements could gather, discuss with one another, and exchange ideas and opinions. Having different backgrounds made the discussions rather interesting, but the rules were set by the Seven Shapes so that there would be…

    It had been a while since we last took a look at Guruko and Simba, her little platypus companion. As they were studying human society on Earth, both were surprised and shocked by its development. “How can these living beings sometimes be capable of creating such wonderful things, yet at other times be so cruel…

    Though the discovery of the StarDust was a huge leap forward for Esperia, there was still a lot of work to do. Indeed, some Espers still couldn’t believe in it and did not accept the fact that they had within them a Shadow they couldn’t control. However, the Seven Shapes truly believed that harmony in…
