The Corridors of Time

If Shala, the Shape of Time, had now become one of the Seven Shapes, who had gathered to build a civilization living in harmony with nature and in peace on Esperia, very little was known about her past or her origins.

Her mysterious identity made her unique, almost divine, and recalled the ancient beliefs of past civilizations, which had struggled to express certain abstract ideas.

The Espers of the modern era had been fortunate enough to awaken the StarDust, revealing the existence of Shala.

She was able to travel through time and dimensions by means of what came to be called “The Corridors of Time,” a dimension where the past, the present, and the future were connected, along with the physical dimensions of the different universes.

For the Espers, her presence allowed them to remember at every moment the vastness of time and the universes, making them more humble: the greatness she embodied could put anyone back in their place if they became too full of themselves.

Many questions still remained about the existence of Shala, but one thing had now become certain for Esperia: “Time is invaluable.“

The two were very close and often appeared together, which was a boon for the Espers.

    By understanding how deeply habits were the anchor of their own lives, the Espers had realized that they could change many things simply through habit. The power of habits seemed almost magical.

    Before the revelation of the StarDust to everyone, the presence within each Esper of a Shadow of their own had sometimes been glimpsed, suspected, or felt, but never had it been so easy to perceive. It was therefore a new experience for many, intriguing, surprising, sometimes even difficult and trying, but always real. For this…
