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 Empress calmly, and used his signs to convey his words to the lady, this action was a surprise to all of the people inside the room. They did not expect this boy to be so calm. Due to the wounds on her face, The Empress had not stepped out of her room in a long time. Even her children, will not come and stand in front of her because of these wounds and she can sense some hesitation in their gazes. 


The Emperor was the only person who did not feel repulsed by her appearance. The only reason she would call the new people in front of her was to decide whether they can stay in the palace or not. It was like a test of their minds. When someone is too beautiful, people get charmed by them and when it is the opposite, they reveal disdain and disgust. 


Salvation.
