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.
