Turning Around a Desperate Situation

Faya, the Shape of Willpower, understood better than anyone that sometimes it is easier to be in a desperate situation in order to turn it around.

Does it sound a bit strange to you?

“Usually, when everything is fine, we have many options to choose from. And the more choices we have, the more difficult it becomes to make a decision,” said Faya.

“But when it comes to desperate situations, the choices naturally narrow, and you still need to decide. Instead of ruminating over your thoughts about the correct one, you actually take action!” she continued.

“This is why it is sometimes easier when facing situations that seem hopeless. When you no longer have endless choices, the only thing left to do is act to solve the issue.”

“Our inner fire gains momentum when we take action rather than just thinking about taking it.”

“Even if it’s not perfect, sometimes it’s better to try our best and do something rather than simply let it go.”

    This chapter of One Daily Tale led at first to many debates among the Espers. Until then, they didn’t know about the StarDust, how to develop it, or how it could help them understand themselves better: the light created by their StarDust would enable them to see their inner Shadow, often hidden deep inside them.

    Kenko, the Shape of Health, knew too well that most of the Espers would not want to hear her words at first. Why? Because she knew that once one has tasted the ease of luxury, of addiction through alcohol, and forgotten the hardship of simply being able to eat every day, it requires far more

    The End of the Chaos War came when the Five Great Elements used their most powerful spell together, all at once, revealing for the first time in the history of Esperia the existence of the StarDust. From that moment on, the world finally understood the need for rapid change, having damaged its own planet more

    Now that the teachings of One Daily Tale had become the common educational writings for all the Espers of Esperia, following its principles had become evident and natural. But newborn Espers were all born as complete blank pages, shaped by their closest environment. Some Espers who had been very powerful in the past, when Chaos

    Now that Esperia was finally at peace, it became natural for the five different Elements to work together and share their knowledge and skills. When they were still at war, they simply couldn’t realize—blinded by hatred and fear of others—the need for the other Elements to sustain their own land. Water, through rivers, lakes, or

    Who hasn’t heard the term, but who has really thought about it? Guruko, who was very intrigued by the human race on Earth, was once again looking through the magical mirror at their civilization. “They are quite interesting living beings, aren’t they?” said Cha Cha, her platypus companion, who had just walked into the room

    What was unprecedented on Esperia was how detached from power and status the founders of One Daily Tale were. The Seven Shapes were mainly symbols of what good behavior toward one’s StarDust could lead to: harmony and peace. They were living examples of what they wrote as guides for everyone, themselves included. In the past,

    Once again, Guruko and her platypus companion Cha Cha were observing human society on Earth. Cha Cha, also known as Simba as his pen name (he wants to become a philosopher-writer!), was thinking about the two different paths that seemed possible for humanity regarding the new technology they were now developing. “Once again, it seems
