The Eternal Flame

The end of the Chaos War and the awakening of the Elemental Shapes brought forth the creation of the Five Legendary Elemental Artifacts.

For the Element of Fire, it took the form of the Eternal Flame—a symbol of willpower that never fades, even in the face of adversity or during difficult times.

While the Eternal Flame embodied the magical power of Faya, the Shape of Willpower, every Esper could see their own flame, its color shifting with the state of their StarDust.

When an Esper worked to forge stronger bonds with others, the flame glowed with gentle green patterns. When studying the teachings of Vati, the Shape of Wisdom, the flame shimmered with traces of blue.

The Eternal Flame reminded every Esper that action is the key to growth.

    Cha Cha, our little platypus companion, gazed once again into the magic mirror at this unknown civilization, which nevertheless had many things in common with that of the Espers. This civilization called itself “magnificent.” But as Cha Cha became more interested in their planet, their history, and their evolution, “magnificent” was not really the word…

    Faya, the Shape of Willpower, was well known for never mincing her words and often saying aloud what everyone else was only thinking. Like the other Shapes, she had begun applying the principles of One Daily Tale to develop her own StarDust. She therefore had to develop her Water element, connected to Wisdom, and, to…

    The use of magic had greatly improved access to healthcare and had, as a result, significantly extended the life expectancy of the Espers in a remarkably short time.

Each had her own strengths and weaknesses, yet each did her best every day to strengthen her qualities and overcome her shortcomings.
