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.

    The Fountain of Wisdom

    The Basic Physiological Needs

    On Esperia, instead of food or water, the Espers could replenish their magical energy by being in contact with nature—by being gently caressed by the flow of water, and by feeling the flowery breeze of the wind passing through the leaves. They also needed to sleep, so that their StarDust could recharge and shine brightly

    Open your mind

    In Esperia, when the 7 Shapes wrote One Daily Tale, they thought deeply about one aspect that was utterly important: having an open mind. Why? Because it was one of the fundamental keys to creating a world filled with harmony. With an open mind, two seemingly opposite ideas can eventually merge into one. The concept

    To act or not to act

    That is the question. Or more precisely, why should we act—or not? I understand you may be skeptical about trying to do things for other adults, who themselves have the choice to act or not. But children don’t, and it becomes a responsibility—whether we like it or not. We are all born in different places,
