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.

It’s been years since humankind became aware of its impact on global warming. Yet, it is still difficult for many to grasp the idea that the lifestyle we’ve built—rooted in centuries

    Guruko was feeling ill. She began to develop a fever and had to lie in bed all the time, struggling to catch her breath. Cha Cha, her faithful platypus, was at her side—preparing food with the help of Grandma Luna and changing the cool towel on her forehead to help bring down the heat. When

    There was a place in the heart of the Land of the Shape of Wisdom, Esperia, where every young Esper had to visit when their StarDust began to take shape. It was called the Fountain of Wisdom. Deep beneath the ground of Esperia flowed a natural fountain, whose waters spread into rivers that bathed all

    On Esperia, instead of food or water, the Espers could replenish their magical energy by being in contact with nature—by being gently caressed by the flow of water, and by feeling the flowery breeze of the wind passing through the leaves. They also needed to sleep, so that their StarDust could recharge and shine brightly

    But what truly matters to you? Is it yourself? Family? Friends? Status? Money? The number of likes or followers? The planet? The future of the children? The time we get to spend on this Earth is limited. What we can do in a single day is also limited. Some things cannot be skipped: our basic

    In Esperia, when the 7 Shapes wrote One Daily Tale, they thought deeply about one aspect that was utterly important: having an open mind. Why? Because it was one of the fundamental keys to creating a world filled with harmony. With an open mind, two seemingly opposite ideas can eventually merge into one. The concept

    That is the question. Or more precisely, why should we act—or not? I understand you may be skeptical about trying to do things for other adults, who themselves have the choice to act or not. But children don’t, and it becomes a responsibility—whether we like it or not. We are all born in different places,

    In Esperia, the Espers soon understood that, in order to create harmony, they needed to prioritize their most fundamental needs. Being magical creatures, they found their source of energy in the natural balance of their elements. The Espers colored with the Earth element, for example, felt revitalized when in contact with mountains. Cha Cha was
