Yakara

When the Eclipse took place and Eklea vanished, the Shadows of every Esper began whispering thoughts that made them feel certain—they believed they were right, doing what was right, all while thinking they were fully aware.
But in truth, the Shadows had gently slipped blinders over their eyes, making them unable to see the real truth. The Shadows made them believe they already saw clearly, while in fact, they were drifting further away from understanding. And so, they thought others were the ones still lost.

Grandma Luna often told stories to Guruko about the Ancient Times, and she always warned her to be especially wary of Yakara—the one who takes the form of Eklea, but is only the Shadow in disguise.

“Grandma?”
“Yes, dear?”
“So… Yakara is very powerful?”
“Yes, it is…”
“Where does it come from?” Guruko asked, her big sleepy eyes beginning to close.
“Well… that is a very long story.”

She tucked the blanket gently around Guruko, just as she drifted off to sleep.

    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

    When was the last time you took a moment just for yourself—not doing anything, just a few minutes of simply being? I know that most of you will reply: “I don’t have time to do that.” Unfortunately, if you don’t have time for yourself, even just a few minutes a day, no one else can

    Cha Cha thought that, theoretically, on Earth, even though the Seven Shapes are unknown to everyone, the human brain might be what a potential StarDust looks like! Feeding and exercising our body indirectly powers our brain, and the better the source of energy—what we eat—the better our brain functions. Learning, of course, but also interacting
