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.

    Vangel, our little dog from the Land of Fire, was torn between the hope that what he was undertaking could truly change things, and the fear that the inertia of the system might simply be too strong. But he was convinced of one thing: if those who think do not act, then nothing will change…

    Joliko, our little red panda companion, had finally freed himself from several addictions that he had chained together, one to escape another. Since then, he had regained what many individuals in modern society had lost: time. Time for himself, to reflect, and to try to understand the world in which he lived, as well as…

    Simba, our little monkey companion from the land of lightning, was beginning to see a little more clearly when it came to awareness. This was mysterious: it now seemed innate to the Espers of the planet, while still needing to be developed. Although he had sensed that several levels of awareness seemed to exist, he…

    Seeing the world from a different perspective than others can be alienating, and can then make you feel as though you are alone in the world. Cha Cha, our little platypus companion, had long been very detached from what was considered normal. As with everyone, what he had experienced during his childhood and the environment…

    The Espers were far from perfect. Learning from their mistakes was therefore also a natural way for them to grow.But in a society where the right to make mistakes was becoming less and less accepted, learning from one’s own mistakes was also becoming increasingly difficult. The image of success had changed. At the height of…

    The challenge the Seven Shapes had set themselves was far from simple. Trying to rebuild a civilization after a war that had decimated the population and a large part of the ecosystem seemed an almost insurmountable task. But things had changed, and therein lay the hope for a society finally acting in a modern way.…

    Making the right choices is not often easy. Especially when the almost insurmountable flow of society as a whole imposes a vision from which it is difficult to break free. Thinking or acting against the current then becomes a trial that is at once discouraging, irritating, and sometimes almost ridiculous, yet within which a glimmer…

    The period of abundance brought about by the massive and limitless use of magic had come to an end. Not by choice, as might have happened if the Espers had managed to agree on difficult questions, such as the consequences of their actions on Aether, the planet’s source of life, or the inequalities caused by…
