The Basics

As one of the central places in Esperia, the Great Library had many sections, but all of them were interconnected. As much as possible, the Espers tried to remind themselves of the importance of the 7 Shapes.

A section called “The Basics” received particular attention from its Elders, as all young Espers had to learn them first.

They knew all too well that in order to learn new spells or develop new skills, every Esper had to first master some fundamental abilities.

Mastering the common language of Esperia was one of them, along with understanding the links between the 7 Shapes and how the actions of one could influence others or even Nature itself.

Vati, the Shape of Wisdom, always liked to use the example of Kenko, the Shape of Health, to illustrate the importance of the basics.

“You need a rich soil to grow beautiful trees that bear delicious fruits.”

    The StarDust

    Cha Cha was also deeply thinking about One Daily Tale, and about the StarDust. The Espers of Esperia had all developed their own StarDust—a bright, shiny, warm veil that reflected rainbow colors. The StarDust allowed the Espers to trust one another, placing fear under the guidance of their awareness and wisdom, and enabling them to

    Challenge Accepted

    One Daily Tale was a special book. It was written with magic, and the 7 Shapes themselves spent their time reflecting on how to write and present the important—yet simple—points of the concept, which was linked to harmony with nature and peace for the living creatures of Esperia. This was when Faya stood up a
