The Five Cities

When a plane tears through the night sky above his village, a young man with ash on his hands dares to dream the impossible: he will become a pilot.

But between dreaming and flying lie Five Cities—each one a test, a choice, a reckoning.

WISH, where comfort kills more dreams than fear ever could.

WANT, where passion without action is just noise.

WILL, where the voices multiply and the signs switch.

WORK, where the Detour breaks everyone who refuses to learn its lesson.

WOW, where arrival feels hollow unless you become a bridge.

This is not a straight path. It never was.

THE FIVE CITIES is for anyone who's been told their dream is too big, their background too small, their timing too late. It's a map for those grinding through their own Detours, wondering if the cost is worth it. And it's a mirror reflecting the truth: you're not lost—you're exactly where you need to be.

The distance between dreaming and doing is not measured in miles. It's measured in the courage to take the next step when everything says stop.

Your dream chose you for a reason.

This is the story of what it costs to honor that choice.
