Wishing for peace

Guruko and her platypus companion, Cha Cha, were thinking about how Esperia finally became a planet where peace prevailed.

“There were wars for thousands of years. How come it never happened before?” asked Guruko.

“To be truthful, it was just a matter of luck and timing that the StarDust was revealed during this war. But now that the Espers of all Five Elements understand the need to work together, wishing for peace wasn’t just a dream anymore.”

“Everyone secretly wished for peace individually, but not being able to trust and understand each other was the first obstacle.

    Cha Cha, our dear little platypus who thought of himself as a philosopher, reflected on the difficulty of finding a balance between indulgence and strictness toward oneself.

    Before the War of Chaos, the world was covered with vast constructions stretching across much of the planet’s surface and even beneath its ground, illuminated at night by artificial light. Although darkness and shadow had somewhat disappeared from their sight, this had, in turn, allowed each Esper’s own Shadow to grow even stronger. The use…
