One Daily Tale

🌎

Unprecedented

Shala, the Shape of Time, was thinking about what the Seven Shapes had accomplished with One Daily Tale.

She had seen many civilizations be born only to end, but when she thought about Esperia, she realized it was the first time the StarDust had been revealed.
“This is unprecedented, and this is why it may work,” she thought quietly.

Shala, though the Shape of Time, could not interact much with the Espers. However, her presence was now known to all through the writings of One Daily Tale.

Vati, the Shape of Wisdom, was always very thankful for her presence.
“If it wasn’t for Shala, nothing would have been possible for Esperia.”

“Yes, because the realization that time is limited for living beings naturally leads to greater consciousness of oneself,” added Eklea, the Shape of Awareness.

“And with limited time, we Espers need to make choices. We cannot do it all, nor have it all. So it is our own responsibility to create the world we want to live in,” concluded Faya, the Shape of Willpower.

    The discovery of the StarDust throughout the world had made one thing possible for the first time: discussing serious subjects had finally become possible. The civilization of the Espers, until then bound by taboos, such as attitudes toward death, old age, and illness, had become aware of the need to confront social problems, without which…

    Ever since the Espers had developed their ability to use magic, many believed that they had finally succeeded in creating what was known as a modern society. When it came to technology, it was true that there was nothing comparable between the world made possible by magic and the world of the past. But one…

    The civilization of the Espers before the Chaos War had gradually drifted away from its foundations. It was becoming increasingly difficult for them to give importance to their basic physiological needs, because these needs were no longer right in front of them. For many, the days when searching for food took up most of the…

    How can we not naturally think that we are at the center of the world when we see the world only through our own eyes? This was the starting point of a reflection by Eklea, the Shape of Consciousness, concerning a paradox of Esper civilization: on an individual scale, an act may seem entirely rational.…

    Observing how the civilization of the Espers behaved before the Chaos War, one might believe that they were all afflicted by a destructive madness, or were desperately trying to get the better of others at their expense. In reality, most Espers were simply doing their best every day just to live. And among them, some…

    The world before the Chaos War was quite a bewildering spectacle. On the one hand, the use of magic had given the Espers technologies that allowed them to satisfy their thirst for individuality and freedom, which they championed under the banner of modernity. But on the other hand, the system in which they lived had…

    The civilization of the Espers had gradually moved away from what was nevertheless necessary to meet their natural physiological needs. Being able to feed themselves had become an ordinary act, with no apparent connection to nature, its resources, or the ecosystem of which they were nevertheless a part. Why was it important, in the eyes…

    Caught up in their own emotions, who has never felt resentment toward someone else, only to later forget even the original reason for the conflict? The new Esperia that the Seven Shapes were trying to rebuild was now founded on principles shared by everyone. Since Shala, the Shape of Time, had become a symbol that…
