The Theory of Harmony

When she wasn’t teaching at the Wisdom section of the Great Library of Esperia, Vati enjoyed spending time at the Fountain of Wisdom—the place where young Espers had their natural element revealed to them.

She would sit nearby and reflect on many things. Vati was the one who first theorized the nature of harmony in Esperia: in a world where magic is powerful enough to destroy an entire planet, and where different natural elements coexist, harmony cannot prevail without balance or a long-term vision for all living beings.

This idea became one of the reasons the 7 Shapes began writing One Daily Tale. The StarDust of every Esper had to be cared for, so that Esperia as a whole could continue to thrive over time.

Vati shed a tear of joy as she realized how blessed Esperia was—with the 7 Shapes and the Espers all working together to create such a beautiful, magical land.

    Put things into perspective

    You can only see the world through your own perspective. But understanding that is, in itself, a big step toward becoming more aware of your surroundings. Why is it important?

    A Child’s Heart

    At the Great Library of Esperia, there was a special space dedicated to children. The Seven Shapes soon came to understand the importance of children for a society that sought peace.

    I don’t know

    The young Espers were surprised by this lesson from Vati, the Shape of Wisdom. They believed Vati knew everything—that no question was ever left unanswered—since she was respected as the wisest of all in Esperia. Yet, it was Vati who said “I don’t know” the most. Ironic, isn’t it? But having the courage to accept
