To Light the Fuse

When the Chaos War ended, a moment of pure stillness was felt by all the Espers who had fought endlessly for years upon years.

Even though the StarDust had finally been discovered, an entire world still needed to be rebuilt… Just the thought of such a colossal task brought feelings of hopelessness and inaction.

This was the moment when Faya—now known as the Shape of Willpower, and the Element of Fire—stood tall and lit the fuse of what would become the beginning of Esperia.

She simply reminded everyone that when a task seems overwhelming, you can always choose to break it down into smaller parts, until you reach a point where one of them can be accomplished.

“It’s just like walking. One step after another. The important thing is to actually take the first step toward the goal you’ve just set.”

Faya was respected for her fierceness and her unyielding will, even among the other Elements. And she proved that all it takes is a single spark to ignite the fuse of a better world…

    When the rules for Esperia were conceived and chosen, it became clear to the Seven Shapes that, in order to create a world of peace and harmony, those rules needed to be fair to everyone. Vati and Faya spoke often about responsibility and how every Esper also had the duty to be fair and square

    The Seven Shapes and the Espers agreed on rules concerning what they called a Limit Break. Now that the flow of Aether was understood, as well as StarDust as a source, it became a rule for every Esper to limit their use of magic in order to maintain equilibrium. However, it was also decided that

Health was understood to be an essential pillar of that harmony, and Kenko, the

    Eklea liked to hold on to this simple question. “In the end, what truly defines who you are?” It took time to reflect on such a question, and she knew that most Espers didn’t naturally ask themselves anything like this. When you become too attached to the possessions you own, they begin to define you.
