One Daily Tale

🌎

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.

    All five elements had traits and behaviors that felt most natural to them. The Espers of the Wind were well known for their listening skills and for their pure character. Each Element had a place in Esperia where it was easier to grow and develop. For the Wind, there was a place known for its

    If there is one thing the Seven Shapes never failed to do since they wrote One Daily Tale, it was to lead by example. They understood very well the importance each individual held in creating a world of peace, and as the leaders of each Element, the Five Great Elements bore the difficult responsibility of

    The Espers weren’t creatures made to consider the future as their first priority.They were similar to human beings in many ways: they had to eat and rest. Esperia, their planet, also had a star it revolved around, creating a cycle of day and night that influenced when they were awake or asleep. With all these

    This chapter of One Daily Tale led at first to many debates among the Espers. Until then, they didn’t know about the StarDust, how to develop it, or how it could help them understand themselves better: the light created by their StarDust would enable them to see their inner Shadow, often hidden deep inside them.

    Kenko, the Shape of Health, knew too well that most of the Espers would not want to hear her words at first. Why? Because she knew that once one has tasted the ease of luxury, of addiction through alcohol, and forgotten the hardship of simply being able to eat every day, it requires far more
