“With ‘if,’ one could remake the world. But with ‘if,’ and by putting those ideas into practice, it becomes a reality.”
It was with these words that a conference began in the Will section of the Great Library of Esperia.
Faya, the Shape of Will, led the discussion and wanted to draw attention to the need to act in addition to having ideas.
“Esperia was able to change thanks to putting into practice the principles presented in One Daily Tale,” she continued.
“The discovery of the StarDust was a true revelation for everyone. Just like the understanding that it requires the combination of the Five elements in balance.”
Eklea, the Shape of Consciousness, continued.
“Yes, and we now also know that it is unique to each person and essential for understanding oneself better, because it reveals our inner Shadow, often buried within us if we do not nourish our StarDust.”
Putting into practice the principles of One Daily Tale had allowed Esperia to find a harmony never seen before. But the Seven Shapes clearly understood that this peace was fragile and requires the daily efforts of everyone.
And that is why One Daily Tale came into being.

With utmost effort
Faya admired the Espers who gave their all when a new challenge stood before them. She respected the most those who used their utmost effort, even if the outcome wasn’t as good as expected, or even ended in complete failure. “As long as you did everything you could, there will be no reason to regret.”

A simple meal
Though Esperia was now living in peace, many wars had been fought, and the last one, the Chaos War, finally led the Espers to realize that the StarDust, shared by every Esper, was the key to developing a society in harmony. Health was understood to be an essential pillar of that harmony, and Kenko, the

Simple clothes and food
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.

Joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness
Joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. Human emotions may be what truly define us as “unique” among other living species. We find joy in the little pleasures life brings to us: the warmth of the sun rising in the morning, a cool breeze in summer, the beautiful colors of autumn leaves. Anger, sometimes, arises when we

Of Adaptation of the Wise
Among all, Vati was recognized as a true representation of Wisdom. But she liked to say that it was never a natural gift; it was nurtured with dedication and time. When asked how to persevere in becoming wiser, she would answer like this: “To keep an open mind and adapt to as many situations as

Pros and Cons
The Seven Shapes reflected on what balance was truly about. “This isn’t about stillness,” said Vati, who liked the image of a wave to represent balance. Atma, the Shape of Balance, gently nodded in agreement. In some cultures, this idea was shown as light opposing darkness; in others, as the Yin and the Yang. It

Early game or End game
Shala, the Shape of Time, often discussed this topic with the other Shapes. Just like us humans, the Espers had a finite life. So how to spend their time until the end was a question that sparked many debates in Esperia. Some believed that since they had only a few years to live, living life

We are in the same boat
Is this reality truly understood? When we look at how the governments of the richest countries behave, it doesn’t seem so. A consensus on climate change should be obvious. “Because others don’t act, why should we? We’ll just lose the economic war.” Well, since we — unfortunately? — share the same boat, and it’s the
