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 and Azula were reading books, and the strange ambiguity of the atmosphere, made the staff think twice about approaching them. They both sat at the same table, but they were not interacting with each other at all. 


The princess was reading books on philosophy while Valerian was dabbling with the subject and topic of politics. He wanted to read this to be more proficient while dealing with monarchs and so-called royalty. Today he took a gamble, this gamble could have backfired and the Emperor could have had him beheaded. 


Valerian realized another chink in his armor, the lack of sophistication. He wanted to hone it. Just when the two were getting immersed in the books, Priscilla appeared in the library and came to Azula. She bowed her head and whispered something in her ear. The Empress had summoned her as she was running late for their evening tea.


Summoned.
