The Source of Aether

When the StarDust was born at the end of the Chaos War, it helped Vati, the Element of Water, finally discover her true self. Through her curiosity and her eagerness to understand how things work, she would become the Shape of Wisdom, loved and respected by all.

One of her greatest discoveries was uncovering the origin of Aether—the source of magic on Esperia. She soon realized that any use of magic consumed Aether.

With the guidance of Atma, the Shape of Balance, the Espers came to understand the importance of regulating its use. Yet a troubling question remained: would Aether one day disappear? After all, it was also the source of life for the Espers.

As Vati delved deeper into the study of Nature, she made a revelation that would shape Esperia’s future. Nature itself held inherent StarDust, and StarDust produced Aether.

“So, the StarDust is the source of Aether…!”

    If Shala, the Shape of Time, had now become one of the Seven Shapes, who had gathered to build a civilization living in harmony with nature and in peace on Esperia, very little was known about her past or her origins.

    Cha Cha, our little platypus companion, gazed once again into the magic mirror at this unknown civilization, which nevertheless had many things in common with that of the Espers. This civilization called itself “magnificent.” But as Cha Cha became more interested in their planet, their history, and their evolution, “magnificent” was not really the word…

    The use of magic had greatly improved access to healthcare and had, as a result, significantly extended the life expectancy of the Espers in a remarkably short time. The downside was that the Espers did not seem to have considered the consequences such an achievement would bring. The massive increase in population was indeed creating…

Each had her own strengths and weaknesses, yet each did her best every day to strengthen her qualities and overcome her shortcomings.

Until now, the Espers of each element had seen others as potential threats. It therefore seemed obvious that a shift in paradigm regarding the trust placed in others was essential.…
