One Daily Tale

The Need for Consensus

If until now the Espers had not understood that each of the five elements was only a part of a whole, and that they shared a single planet on whose resources they depended.

In particular, the Espers, endowed with the ability to use magic, had just come to understand that with each use, it consumed a little Aether, the life source of the planet.

Vati, the Shape of Wisdom, believed that without a consensus from all, their civilization was likely heading toward its downfall.

Even if some continued to think that efforts should be made by the largest users of magic, the need for a shared and unanimous consensus was becoming evident to anyone who had reflected more closely on the situation.

“A realization of this need for consensus is therefore necessary…” thought Eklea, the Shape of Consciousness.

“The end of the War of Chaos will at least have brought us two positive things: the understanding of the existence of the StarDust within each of us…” continued Gurumin, the Shape of Empathy.

“… And the existence of Atma, the Shape of Balance, essential to the development of our inner light, unique to each of us.” added Kenko, the Shape of Health.

“A virtuous circle can take the place of the vicious circle that has held its power until now. By setting a good example for others, and especially for children and the younger ones, a consensus can then emerge.” concluded Faya, the Shape of Will.

    Cha Cha was also deeply thinking about One Daily Tale, and about the StarDust. The Espers of Esperia had all developed their own StarDust—a bright, shiny, warm veil that reflected rainbow colors. The StarDust allowed the Espers to trust one another, placing fear under the guidance of their awareness and wisdom, and enabling them to

    One Daily Tale was a special book. It was written with magic, and the 7 Shapes themselves spent their time reflecting on how to write and present the important—yet simple—points of the concept, which was linked to harmony with nature and peace for the living creatures of Esperia. This was when Faya stood up a

    In a world without the 7 Shapes, humankind had to develop without knowledge, without awareness. This marked the beginning of a world based on the survival of the fittest, where physical strength became the natural way to survive—without knowing how to communicate, unable to trust one another, and instinctively fearing others. Without an understanding of

    When the Eclipse took place and Eklea vanished, the Shadows of every Esper began whispering thoughts that made them feel certain—they believed they were right, doing what was right, all while thinking they were fully aware.But in truth, the Shadows had gently slipped blinders over their eyes, making them unable to see the real truth.

    Guruko was raised on a small island, hidden from the rest of the world. She lived with her Grandma Luna, who often reminded her: “Listening is a gift you should use as often as you can.” Her closest companion was a platypus who fancied himself a philosophical writer. Guruko had named him Cha Cha. Taking

    Vati, the Shape of Wisdom, wasn’t born knowing everything.She gathered her wisdom slowly, over time—bit by bit—always checking to see if what she knew was still true. At first, learning didn’t excite her. To be honest, she thought it was dull. She would’ve much rather chatted with Gurumin or watched Kenko perform his dazzling flips

    Atma had a special gift: she could sense the rhythm of the Shapes within each being. Like a quiet breeze tuning the strings of a harp, she helped adjust their strength, keeping the StarDust glowing gently and in harmony. The flow of the Shapes wasn’t a straight line, like the horizon at sea, but a

    Shala, who had always been alone since the beginning of Time and the Universe, was overjoyed when Esperia slowly took shape. Along with it came the elemental Shapes—Gurumin of Wind, Vati of Water, Faya of Fire, Kenko of Earth, and Eklea of Lightning. If people on Earth could see Esperia, they would be amazed to
