THE PRICE OF HOPE
The morning sun bathed the terraced hills of the village in golden light. Fields of ripening maize stretched across the slopes, and small houses made of stone and mud dotted the landscape. The village, isolated from the bustling cities of Nepal, was quiet except for the occasional chirp of birds and the soft breeze that swept through the valley. For as long as anyone could remember, this land had been a place of toil, of simple living, and, for many, of silent despair.

Elephant and Calf
Elephants, the so-called giants of the animal kingdom, are also among the smartest and emotionally complex creatures walking the planet. On the whole, elephants have a social structure, behaviour, and emotions that are deep, especially the bond between an elephant calf and its mother. This bond is among the tightest in the animal kingdom, and it's a reflection of the species' ability to survive as well as its complex social behavior. Here we will look at the incredible tie between elephants and their young, and how it ensures the survival of the latter, the role of family units in the society of this monumental social creature, and how the very fibre of the bond bears testament to the phenomenal flood of emotions experienced by one of the largest and most majestic of beasts.

He never got around to teaching the people how to read, however, so he was concerned on the effect his departure would have on their community. Eager to give them something, he set about teaching the king a few rudimentary words.

Under the Same Stars
Every night after work, Mia would climb up the old fire escape to the roof of her apartment building in New York City. She would sit on the ledge, hugging her knees, and look up at the endless stretch of stars. It was her escape from the noise, the loneliness, the ache of missing something — or someone — she hadn’t even met yet.

High Powers
The cold wind swept across the shattered land. Jagged mountains stood like silent guardians around a vast valley of ruins. In the middle of it all, a young traveler named Aren stood still, his cloak flapping in the night breeze. Above him, the sky was alive — a swirl of stars, purple clouds, and a giant glowing ring spinning like a portal to another world.
