One Daily Tale

🌎

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.

    Vati, the Shape of Wisdom, often reflected long and deeply on how to promulgate the principles of One Daily Tale.One thing was becoming more and more evident in her eyes. “Newborns come into this world without any knowledge of the world in which they will live. They are blank pages that will naturally absorb the

    The revelation, in the eyes of all, of the presence of Atma, the Shape of Balance, was of major importance in the principles that followed to rebuild Esperia on new foundations, by virtue of the StarDust that slumbers within every Esper on the planet. Some, however, did not understand this notion:“Wouldn’t it be a boring

    The recognition of this principle had allowed Esperia to be rebuilt on fairer foundations for all. Remembering daily the presence of Shala, the Shape of Time, was a way for the Espers to remind themselves that life was ephemeral, allowing them to appreciate not only their own existence more intensely, but also the lives of

    “Try for a moment to imagine a world where prejudice exists for no one.” “In this world, differences of origin, base element, or sex do not influence our personal feelings in any way.” “A mutual respect, regardless of the individual, is then created naturally. Like the youngest ones who, not yet marked by society’s prejudices,

    The lesson of the day was dear to Faya, the Shape of Will, and was titled “Persevering After Failures.” Even though she had become the Great Element of Fire, and was admired for her fighting spirit and the strength of her inner fire, she often reminded the young Espers that behind every success there are

    If the concept of the five elements often seemed rather abstract at first for young Espers, the element of Earth was certainly the easiest for them to understand first. Indeed, an Esper in good health is immediately noticeable among others: a more athletic body, neither too thin, showing a lack of physical exercise, nor too

    The Great Library of Esperia had become a life-sized example of what a civilization built on values shared by all could become, regardless of their main element or their origin. It would have been unimaginable just a few years earlier to see the Espers of the five different elements unite for a single common cause:

    The youngest Espers all shared the radiant and innocent purity that belongs to children. This allowed them to naturally use the Wind element, regardless of their base element. Now that the link between magic and the StarDust had been established, the Espers finally understood that every magic was in reality the emanation of their own
