One Daily Tale

Useless Debates

The Seven Shapes didn’t get where they are by pleasing the people or by relying on their magic.

For the Five Elements, the Shapes were known as the strongest at that time, yet it was not through force that they chose to lead by example.

On the contrary, their effort to write the principles of One Daily Tale and to rally the Five Elements around the core cause of nurturing the StarDust led many—still attached to their more glorious past—to resent them.

They also understood that this was work that needed to be done not only now, but carried on through the next generations, through education.

“We have a unique chance, now that the StarDust has been revealed to all of the Espers. But the future depends on how we guide the next generations,” said Vati, the Shape of Wisdom.

She feared that, once again, after some time, the unity that had brought knowledge about the StarDust would fade, and eventually lead to useless debates like before.

“There was a time when each Element thought only about its own profits and benefits, without considering the consequences for nature and for the only planet we all share. A truce could never be found, because there was no real trust. We couldn’t hear one another, and no one even tried to understand what the others had to say,” she continued.

“That’s why now is the time to change how we perceive Esperia! With the StarDust, we finally have the chance to create a world of peace and harmony!” she said, great hope shining in her eyes.

We could truly say that human beings are creatures of habit! Making better choices in our daily lives means building better habits

    “As long as humans don’t realize their own nature, new technologies won’t solve any real issues.” In the last two centuries, the modern world has given rise to modern civilization: globalization, overconsumption, a world that seems boundless and infinite—a reflection of the most powerful country in the world. But when we understand that the resources

    In Esperia, because the 7 Shapes were at the center of how the land had developed, every single Esper was taught the importance of responsibility, and how to contribute to Esperia as a whole when trying new things. This became especially true as the Espers grew their magical powers—the wiser they had to become, and

The list is endless! When you think about it,

    Of all the 7 Shapes, Eklea was the most difficult to grasp and understand. This is why all the Espers needed to take time, every single day, to remind themselves how tiny they were in the vastness of the multiple universes they lived in—but also how important they were to one another, and to the

    In Esperia, one of the most respected places was the Great Library. Not only was it filled with every kind of book—written by the Shapes themselves and by Espers on topics like nature or the peculiar laws of physics in their Universe, which allowed the arts of magic—but it was also a place to discuss

    On Earth, many, many things have existed in a state of balance—long before the human species began dominating the planet. There was the natural cycle of water: clouds formed from the oceans, turned into rain, and flowed back through rivers to the seas. There was also the natural movement of winds, as warmer air tends
