One Daily Tale

Time Will Tell

A long time ago, when Shala first witnessed Chaos reigning— with the Five Elements and the Espers fighting tirelessly for thousands of years — she would never have dreamt that it would one day become the land of peace and harmony: Esperia.

In another universe, on Earth,

Cha Cha was reading The Tales of the Chaos War and the chapter “Time Will Tell” written by Shala, telling how her doubts and sadness turned into joy and bliss when the StarDust was finally discovered.

“Could this happen in this world as well?”

“Humankind has been fighting each other for countless years, driven by fear and by the inability to see the broader picture.”

One Daily Tale was written to preserve what was learned from the Chaos War — that the StarDust was the key to harmony and peace.

It stands as a symbol that it is possible!
