THE_WORDSMITH

In this world, some say, the truth and the legends are the same. One such legend belonged to the protagonist, Valerian.

Valerian was an orphan, a boy blessed with a beautiful face, and everyone around him, could not help but want to play with him, till one day a prophet passing through their town pronounced him to be cursed. 

Since that day, the destiny of the boy seemed to have changed completely, he was shunned by everyone around him, and the gazes that were earlier filled with love and affection, now brimmed with disgust and hatred. 

The constant shunning and humiliation made the cheerful child grow up to be bitter and inexpectant. On his seventh birthday, things changed once again. 

This time, it was not the people around him who went through a change, but himself. As he grew up, Valerian became a legend in his own sense. 

The people sang of a boy, who could not speak, they shed tears for a boy, who could not grieve. He came from nowhere yet he was known everywhere. 

Would you like to know this legend? A story where a curse can become a blessing? A story of sacrifice, betrayal, determination, and secrets.

Valerian, The Legendary

Valerian stood in front of the War Bear. His resolve was not yet very firm, and he was aware of that. Quies had taught him, that to win a battle, one must commit to the battle. This commitment could cost him, his sweat, blood, flesh, and even life.


The boy closed his eyes, steeling his heart. The stone he had flung earlier at the bear's head successfully awakened the beast from its slumber. When the War Bear gazed at the boy in front of him, it roared.


Swiftly the beast stood up and charged at the boy. Valerian heard the roar, he understood how arrogant this beast was, the roar meant, 'Almost died yesterday, now you dare to come back. I will shred you.'


Valerian moved slightly to the left and dodged the attack coming at his head. The speed was so fast that the boy only sensed a wind caressing his forehead. His heart was beating so fast as if it will explode.
