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.

If the fire burns too fiercely, it

    Since the collective consciousness of all Espers had finally been reached, health as a pillar of life was naturally embraced as the path to follow.

    Collective Consciousness

    Eklea was reflecting on how Esperia had radically changed since the end of the Chaos War and the discovery of StarDust. “This created a collective consciousness,” she whispered.
