Thunderstruck

Eklea, the Shape of Awareness, was associated with the Lightning Element.
In fact, Eklea liked to remind the Espers who followed her principles that, “Awareness can strike you at any time, without prior notice!”
“During sleep, it can take the form of dreams that bring you new ideas.”
“But still, what’s important is to keep a curious eye—so when the ‘aha’ moment comes, you already have within you everything you need to respond to it.”

The younger ones had some difficulty understanding this.

“In order for lightning to strike, you need thunderclouds and the right atmospheric conditions. Without them, lightning won’t happen—nor will thunder! For you, Espers, this means nurturing your StarDust!”

“Oh! So by working on our StarDust, we create the conditions to spark our own awareness!”

“Exactly. And that’s also why, like the other Shapes, we always work together—so your StarDust can shine even brighter. Because that is a key to harmony.”
