Prologue - What the Ashes Couldn't Keep Before the gold, before the blood, before the crown-there was only silence. And beneath that silence, drums. Not loud. Not angry. Just steady. Waiting. Long before Obasi was born, the land of Ogunda pulsed with rhythm. A rhythm older than the names carved into bark. Older than the mines that foreign boots would one day crush beneath. Older than betrayal. This rhythm lived in the soil. In the water. In the hearts of warriors whose bones never fully died. They whispered through dreams. They screamed through fire. They sang through fists. And one day, they chose a boy-not because he was ready, but because he was the only one who would survive long enough to become. Obasi was never meant to be a boxer. He was meant to be the echo. Of what was stolen. Of what must return. The story begins not with a crown... ...but with the sound of fire, and a mother's voice saying- "Survive."
