The Element of Earth

Kenko was the Shape of Health, and also the Element of Earth.

She understood better than anyone the importance of nature for life in Esperia.

Through her connection with the planet, she could sense the need to protect it—not only for the beauty of the countless life forms that lived upon its surface, but also for the survival of the Espers, the magical beings who had finally reached a state of harmony.

To her, it was clear that caring for one’s health was inseparable from caring for the world in which one lived.

The StarDust of the Espers attuned to the Element of Earth produced far more Aether than the other elements.

Even before Vati and Eklea discovered the flow of Aether, Kenko could already feel that overusing magic was quietly draining the planet of something vital.

In truth, it was drawing upon the source of life itself.

    The revelation, in the eyes of all, of the presence of Atma, the Shape of Balance, was of major importance in the principles that followed to rebuild Esperia on new foundations, by virtue of the StarDust that slumbers within every Esper on the planet. Some, however, did not understand this notion:“Wouldn’t it be a boring

    The recognition of this principle had allowed Esperia to be rebuilt on fairer foundations for all. Remembering daily the presence of Shala, the Shape of Time, was a way for the Espers to remind themselves that life was ephemeral, allowing them to appreciate not only their own existence more intensely, but also the lives of

    “Try for a moment to imagine a world where prejudice exists for no one.” “In this world, differences of origin, base element, or sex do not influence our personal feelings in any way.” “A mutual respect, regardless of the individual, is then created naturally. Like the youngest ones who, not yet marked by society’s prejudices,

    The lesson of the day was dear to Faya, the Shape of Will, and was titled “Persevering After Failures.” Even though she had become the Great Element of Fire, and was admired for her fighting spirit and the strength of her inner fire, she often reminded the young Espers that behind every success there are

    If the concept of the five elements often seemed rather abstract at first for young Espers, the element of Earth was certainly the easiest for them to understand first. Indeed, an Esper in good health is immediately noticeable among others: a more athletic body, neither too thin, showing a lack of physical exercise, nor too

It would have been unimaginable just a few years earlier to see the Espers of the five different elements unite for a single common cause:

    The youngest Espers all shared the radiant and innocent purity that belongs to children. This allowed them to naturally use the Wind element, regardless of their base element. Now that the link between magic and the StarDust had been established, the Espers finally understood that every magic was in reality the emanation of their own

    The end of the Chaos War was the perfect opportunity to finally rebuild Esperia on solid foundations that had until now been ignored. Vati, the Form of Wisdom, was worried about how things would unfold, for it required envisioning the world in the long term. “Many Espers will resist making the necessary changes…” she thought.Indeed,
