One thing was certain.
The behavioral instincts linked to the need to meet one’s basic needs were deeply rooted.
The use of magic on Esperia had allowed the wealthiest to overcome those necessities, leaving room for a way around those instincts.
We want more. Always more. No longer out of necessity or precaution. But often out of pure vanity or selfishness, whether conscious or not.
But the presence of Atma had helped the Espers understand that developing one’s StarDust in balance made it possible to become aware of this.
That awareness then allows one to realize that what drives us to always want more can be controlled.
Of course, learning to control oneself when the world constantly dazzles us with promises and wonders is not easy for everyone.
Promoting nobler values was one of the pillars of a fairer and more harmonious world for all.
But the question remained the same:
“Who truly wants such a world when they can enjoy more without worrying about others…?”

Limit Break
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…

One Step a Day
The revelation of the StarDust profoundly changed the way Espers thought. They now understood that a bright StarDust was the key to perceiving their own Shadow, and therefore gaining a deeper understanding of themselves. Shala, the Shape of Time, was there to remind them that one step a day was all it could take to…

With one voice
The Seven Shapes were reflecting on how things had changed since the end of the Chaos War. “The discovery of the StarDust was truly the key to understanding ourselves,” thought Vati. “Yes, and Atma, the Shape of Balance, was also a missing element in being able to create One Daily Tale,” said Shala. “In order…

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…
