The Birth of Esperia

Shala, who had always been alone since the beginning of Time and the Universe, was overjoyed when Esperia slowly took shape.

Along with it came the elemental Shapes—Gurumin of Wind, Vati of Water, Faya of Fire, Kenko of Earth, and Eklea of Lightning.

If people on Earth could see Esperia, they would be amazed to discover a world where magic flows through every living thing—from the rivers to the hills—a land of lush nature where magical beasts and animals roam freely.

Espers, magical beings who embraced the Seven Shapes, lived there too, developing their StarDust to extraordinary levels.

They often gazed at the stars, wondering if other lifeforms existed somewhere in the Universe—if they too looked at the sky with wonder, living in harmony and peace.

A planet called Earth was the answer to their questions. But little did they know… that life could also be wasted, and nature desecrated.

    The revelation of the StarDust profoundly changed the way Espers thought. They now understood that a bright StarDust was the key to perceiving their own Shadow, and therefore gaining a deeper understanding of themselves. Shala, the Shape of Time, was there to remind them that one step a day was all it could take to

    The Seven Shapes were reflecting on how things had changed since the end of the Chaos War. “The discovery of the StarDust was truly the key to understanding ourselves,” thought Vati. “Yes, and Atma, the Shape of Balance, was also a missing element in being able to create One Daily Tale,” said Shala. “In order

    Faya admired the Espers who gave their all when a new challenge stood before them. She respected the most those who used their utmost effort, even if the outcome wasn’t as good as expected, or even ended in complete failure. “As long as you did everything you could, there will be no reason to regret.”

    Though Esperia was now living in peace, many wars had been fought, and the last one, the Chaos War, finally led the Espers to realize that the StarDust, shared by every Esper, was the key to developing a society in harmony. Health was understood to be an essential pillar of that harmony, and Kenko, the

When you become too attached to the possessions you own, they begin to define you.

We find joy in the little pleasures life brings to us: the warmth of the sun rising in the morning, a cool breeze in summer, the beautiful colors of autumn leaves. Anger, sometimes, arises when we

    The Seven Shapes reflected on what balance was truly about. “This isn’t about stillness,” said Vati, who liked the image of a wave to represent balance. Atma, the Shape of Balance, gently nodded in agreement. In some cultures, this idea was shown as light opposing darkness; in others, as the Yin and the Yang. It
