One fateful morning, word spread like wildfire through Thrum: King Kaelion was visiting the village. Zayn’s heart raced as he joined the crowd gathering at the square.
The king arrived on a magnificent white steed, his emerald blade sheathed at his side. His presence was commanding yet warm, his golden crown glinting in the sunlight.
Kaelion dismounted and spoke to the villagers, his voice rich and resonant. He praised their craftsmanship and promised to improve trade routes to bring prosperity to Thrum.
But what struck Zayn most was the king’s humility. Despite his power, Kaelion treated everyone with respect.
As Kaelion’s entourage prepared to leave, Zayn found himself stepping forward. “Your Majesty!” he called out. The king turned, his piercing green eyes meeting Zayn’s.
“What is your name, young man?” Kaelion asked.
“Zayn, Your Majesty.”
“You have the look of a dreamer, Zayn,” the king said with a knowing smile. “Hold on to your dreams. They are the seeds of greatness.”

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
