Crown of Ashes
“Crown of Ashes: EmbCrown of Ashes: Embers of a Lost Empire** The once-great empire of Aeranthia had turned to dust. Ash covered the marble streets where processions once paraded in gold. Vines crept up the blackened walls of the Citadel, where kings were crowned and betrayed. And on the crumbled steps of the ruined throne room, a single figure stood cloaked in tattered linen, staring at the empty seat of power. His name was Kael. To the world, he was no one—a drifter, a relic-hunter, a ghost chasing legends. But to the blood-soaked stones beneath his feet, he was something far more dangerous: the last living heir of the fallen House of Vael. He had returned home to claim nothing. Not the throne, which had long since melted under fire and rebellion. Not the crown, which had been shattered in the hands of his father as Aeranthia burned. And not revenge—though it clung to him like a second skin. No, Kael had come for a truth buried in fire and silence. Beneath the throne, in a sealed chamber forgotten by time, lay the Emberstone. A relic said to hold the soul of Aeranthia itself. Stories told of how it glowed in the hands of true rulers and burned those unworthy. His father had wielded it once—briefly—before madness took him. Kael had to know if it would accept him. Not for power, but for understanding. For closure. For absolution. The wind howled through the broken spires as Kael descended the secret stairwell behind the throne. The darkness below was thick and wet, the air heavy with age and smoke. He lit a small flame in his palm, a trick taught to him by the last of the Firekeepers in exile. The stone corridor narrowed until it ended in a door carved with runes—the language of kings long dead. He pressed his palm against the center sigil. It pulsed, once, like a heartbeat. The door groaned open. Inside, the chamber was circular and bare, except for a raised pedestal in the middle. Upon it, a dull, glassy stone the size of a heart sat untouched. It did not glow. It did not hum. It waited. Kael approached slowly, his breath steady, though his hands trembled. He had been told that the Emberstone would judge him. That it would either ignite in recognition… or consume him from within. With nothing left to lose, Kael reached out and touched it. Nothing happened. He exhaled in disappointment. Maybe the bloodline had thinned too much. Maybe the stone was a myth, or broken beyond repair. He turned to leave— —and then the chamber lit up in firelight. A wave of heat surged through the room, not burning, but alive—ancient and watching. Kael turned back. The Emberstone now pulsed with red-orange light, veins of molten fire threading through its core. Then he heard it. A voice—not with ears, but deep inside his soul. **“You are not your father.”** Kael fell to his knees. Visions flooded him—flashes of the empire as it once was: its soaring towers, its scholars and warriors, the harmony between magic and man. Then the fall—rebellion, treachery, fire. His father, driven mad by grief and power, burning their enemies and allies alike. And finally, a boy hidden away by loyalists, sent into the wilds to survive. **“You carry the ash, not the flame,”** the voice said. **“But even ash carries memory.”** Kael's eyes filled with tears. Not because he had been chosen, but because he understood. The Emberstone was not a tool of power—it was a mirror of purpose. It had shown him that Aeranthia’s true fall had not been in fire, but in forgetting who they were. He rose, the stone now silent, its light dimming but not gone. There would be no throne to claim, no crown to wear. But there was still a story to be remembered. A history to rebuild. People scattered across the broken world, waiting for something—someone—to light the embers again. Kael walked back into the ruin and stood beneath the skeletal sky. He was not a king.

How Wangari Maathai saved Uhuru Park
In 1989, Wangari Maathai became privy to speculation that a huge building was going to be erected in Uhuru Park. Immediately she heard about it, she wrote a letter to the Finance Minister enquiring about the building. The details she found out about the project were appaling. The proposed building was the Times Media Trust Complex. It would be 60 stories high and would fundamentally alter the facade of the city as it was. Uhuru Park was already shrinking as a result of encroaching; such a gigantic complex would end the park altogether. The construction would be funded by a huge loan that the government could never be able to payback. After discussing it with the executive committee of the Greenbelt Movement, it was time to take action.
