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 followed Ordo, but the two people did not exchange a single syllable. The boy could tell that they were moving towards the eastern wing of the palace. This was where all the administration work of the court and the officials was completed. 


The head attendant moved through the corridors calmly. They arrived in front of the big door. Valerian could feel a pair of eyes staring at him with absolute readiness to kill. It was like he stood among the wolves in the forest of Acies. 


Valerian thought he underestimated the things he learned during that time. This experience will certainly come in handy for him. Ordo knocked on the door and said, "Your Excellency, Attendant Valerian is here." 


"Send him in.", a somber voice sounded from the inside. 


Threats.
