The Fire Artifact

The Eternal Flame.

That was the name given to the Fire artifact, which symbolized the unique bond between all the Espers.

The will to act, not only for oneself, but also for others and for the world in which they lived, and whose resources and natural wealth they used.

A will that could take many forms, and that changed the color of the flame depending on how it was used.

Striving to study in order to develop humility gave it the color of the ocean, a reminder of the element of water and wisdom.

Taking the time to listen to others and help them when needed gave it the color of the silky grass gently carried by the wind.

Trying to keep control of one’s behavior despite difficult situations, which could allow one’s Shadow to take control, gave it a color as radiant as daylight, with little flashes of lightning darting back and forth around it.

Taking care of one’s physical and mental health gave it an orange color that recalled the imposing mountain of the Land of Earth, whose summit could be seen by everyone on Esperia.

And finally, this flame was eternal.

Not because the Espers were immortal.

But because this responsibility to act for the world was a duty passed down from generation to generation.

A cycle that was therefore eternal, as long as this flame was properly shared, and the Espers continued to take responsibility while thinking of future generations.

    By the Union of All

    The task of rebuilding Esperia was daunting. If the consequences still seemed imperceptible, almost nonexistent, the damage had indeed been done. Aether, the life source of the planet, had been greatly reduced, and the natural process of its regeneration was slow—far slower than its consumption through the use of Esper magic. From now on, one…

    Fair Judgment

    To rebuild Esperia on healthy foundations for all, it had become clear that it was necessary to reach a fair judgment of what is good and what is bad. “Easier said than done…” thought the Espers who had already reflected on this, yet also saw this idea as utopian and unrealistic. Vati, the Shape of…

    A mixture of jewels and pebbles

    When we take a moment to look at the things around us, we see that rather than being still, they are made of cycles, of movements back and forth, of highs and lows. Even if it is not directly visible to our eyes, light and sound are waves that also have an oscillating motion. That…

    Time Passes Quickly

    The notion of time passing is difficult to perceive, even for the Espers, who were now gifted with the ability to use magic. Though it had made life easier for everyone, it had not changed their relationship with the flow of time. Projecting oneself into the future is not an easy thing, especially when that…
