Mnemonic
A cross planted on a hilltop bears a gleaming crown. A child spots it glowing at dawn, climbs up, and seizes it—instant power surges through the kid's veins. The ground shakes, banners unfurl, and an uprise erupts across the land as people rally behind this fierce little ruler who appeared from nowhere.
