The Shape of Awareness: Eklea

In ancient times, there was a land named Esperia,
where harmony prevailed, thanks to the presence of the 7 Shapes.

Eklea was the embodiment of awareness.
Like a flash of lightning, her color was bright yellow, and her mind sparkled with curiosity.
She often leapt from one idea to another, for curiosity was the very core of her being.

Awareness is what allows us to live fully —
to notice the little joys of each day and feel alive in every moment.

Though her thoughts danced quickly from place to place,
Eklea also understood the importance of slowing down.
She cherished quiet moments of meditation,
finding calm by focusing gently on her breath.

Like all the Shapes, Eklea needed the others to truly shine.
She loved exchanging ideas with Vati,
who always brought new concepts to explore.
And she often shared her latest discoveries with Gurumin,
who listened with patience and kindness.

But after the Eclipse, the dark magic known as Ruin
not only erased Eklea’s name from memory,
but also sealed the very spark of her powers.
While the others were merely forgotten,
Eklea’s light was locked away—
hidden deep within a mysterious cave,
made unreachable by the erosion of the earth over countless ages.

    Seeing the world from a different perspective than others can be alienating, and can then make you feel as though you are alone in the world.

  • Learning from Mistakes

    Learning from Mistakes

    The Espers were far from perfect. Learning from their mistakes was therefore also a natural way for them to grow.But in a society where the right to make mistakes was becoming less and less accepted, learning from one’s own mistakes was also becoming increasingly difficult.

    Perceiving the dilemmas

    The challenge the Seven Shapes had set themselves was far from simple. Trying to rebuild a civilization after a war that had decimated the population and a large part of the ecosystem seemed an almost insurmountable task.

    Against the Current

    Making the right choices is not often easy. Especially when the almost insurmountable flow of society as a whole imposes a vision from which it is difficult to break free. Thinking or acting against the current then becomes a trial that is at once discouraging, irritating, and sometimes almost ridiculous, yet within which a glimmer…

    Is There Really a Need?

    The period of abundance brought about by the massive and limitless use of magic had come to an end. Not by choice, as might have happened if the Espers had managed to agree on difficult questions, such as the consequences of their actions on Aether, the planet’s source of life, or the inequalities caused by…

    Interdependence in a Limited World

    The Seven Shapes had clearly understood that, in order to rebuild Esperia, everyone’s efforts would be necessary, whatever their element. The period preceding the War of Chaos had developed, throughout all the elemental lands, the understandable but fruitless feeling that the fault always lay with others and that making efforts oneself only meant putting oneself…

    Taking Mental Health Seriously

    If there is one thing that is difficult for the Espers to do, it is to properly take into consideration everything that is not visible to their eyes: the future rather than the present moment, the system as a whole rather than their personal situation, the general Shadow of their entire civilization… And mental health…
