The King and the Quiet Bloom
King Theron, ruler of Veridia, was a man shaped by duty and strategy, not sentiment. His days were a meticulous weave of statecraft: treaties negotiated, rebellions quelled, trade routes secured.

He'd chosen his queen, the elegant and politically shrewd Lyra, for her alliances, not her heart, and their union was one of mutual respect and cool efficiency.

so most people know about Pompeii, and the eruption of Mount Versuvius in Italy 2,000 years ago. The volcanic casts of humans is well known.

The Last Balcony
The Last Balcony By [Ghani] London, 1944. The city held its breath again. You could feel it in the air — thick, damp, electric. The streets were dimmed for blackout, but even without the lights, London pulsed with tension. Somewhere in the fog, searchlights combed the sky with long silver fingers. The rumble of planes had become part of the city’s rhythm now — a heartbeat of war.
