The Birth of Atma

When Esperia was born, Shala was deeply curious about this small world, where the Five Elements battled endlessly, unable to rest.

Yes, the Esperia we’ve come to know wasn’t always full of harmony and peace!

One day, in a fateful event, the Five Elements clashed with their strongest magic. Their powers fused into a radiant and beautiful light, which the Espers now call the StarDust.

With the help of Shala, the Shape of Balance, Atma was gently drawn from the energy of the StarDust, which gave her an indigo hue.

The Five Elements were fascinated by this new being, capable of blending their distinct powers into something so luminous.

For the first time, they were able to listen to one another—and with Atma’s guidance, they would one day become the Five Elemental Shapes of Wisdom, Empathy, Awareness, Health, and Willpower that we now know in One Daily Tale

    Shala, the Shape of Time, created a lesson about the Past, Present, and Future. “For ordinary living beings who haven’t developed their StarDust yet, it is very difficult to grasp the Scales of Time. Because, in fact, it’s a paradox: it’s not natural to be able to perceive them.” “We all know we live in…

    Nature as a Common Goal

    Until the 7 Shapes worked together to create the foundations of One Daily Tale, Esperia wasn’t the harmonious land we had described!

    Simba was a mysterious, monkey-like creature living in Esperia. Though not an Esper, through experience and trial and error, he had succeeded in developing his own version of the StarDust. But something was still missing. He often experienced a roller coaster of emotions—sometimes feeling very sad when imagining a world without the 7 Shapes, and…

    Aether

    The magical world of Esperia was filled with Aether, saturating the atmosphere and creating rainbow reflections that could be admired just by looking at the sky. While we humans need to breathe air rich in oxygen, the Espers needed to breathe air filled with Aether. Not only did it connect them to the nature of…
