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

Vertex did not know where his sister developed such courage to talk back to him, and that too for a mere servant. Azula had never raised her voice at anyone and was always the most compassionate one among the three siblings.


Ignis was a goof most of the time, but he had very high goodwill among the commoners. He was the beloved first prince of the empire, especially in the capital, his words were like sacred commandments.


When he thought of himself, Vertex was only good at maintaining order. He would follow protocols for everything. He was seen as the most righteous person in the empire. While the first prince was beloved, the second prince was the most respected.


This sort of competition was the reason for this internal argument in the royal family. After Azula laid down her words, she was ready to go all out to face her elder brother. Fragrantia saw this and said, "Have I spent too much time away that my children have forgotten the rules in the dining hall?"


Ultimatum.
