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 stopped and looked at the girl who called him a thief with condescending eyes. The girl looked tall and slender, her eyes were brimming with arrogance. The boy could tell that the identity of this girl was different from the others, her soft armor was covered with runes and patterns, unlike others.


She did not lower her voice when she accused the child so everyone heard this. Meta said, "Your grace, he is just taking away his knife from the corpse nothing else."


Valerian heard the address that confirmed his suspicion, seems like this girl was from the house of the city lord of Calix. Meta turned to look at the child and said in a low voice, "Do not mind her, take your knife, and thank you."


The child had no intention of entangling with these people and took out his knife, he recalled that this girl had not bowed to him earlier either. This told him about the arrogant personality of the girl.


Rough.
