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 was surprised that this old man could detect him, however, after he noticed his physique, he could tell that the other party as an experienced Warrior, and it was not unusual to detect his presence.


Just was he was stuck in the dilemma, if he should run away or go out, the old man said again, "I will ask only once, if you did not come out, do not blame me for being rude."


With that card out of the sleeves, the old man released his battle aura, an intangible projection of his intents, toward Valerian.  This intent gave Valerian the feeling similar to Quies, when they fought against each other during training.


He has yet to win over Quies, and he could tell that the steward was not even pushing hard, he would just act like he was trying hard to keep his morale up.


Valerian sighed and walked out from the cover of trees slowly. If he moved quickly, the Old Warrior could have attacked him in a misunderstanding.


Encounter.
