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 did not waver in the face of the magical beast approaching him at a high speed, suddenly, he cast a spell, 'Vitis Ligatura.' 


A few meters ahead of the raging horse, vines sprouted from the ground, as the horse got closer the vines quickly entangled with it, stopping its charge. However, the attribute of wood was weak against fire. It will not take the beast to break free from the bindings. 


Valerian turned back to face the prince and slashed the sword, his eyes did not waver, and neither was his movement slow. Vertex felt an impact on his neck and his consciousness faded away. 


Valerian heard a defiant neighing sound from behind him and vanished quickly. The flame horse had broken free of the bindings, the magical beast wanted to chase after him, but his master lay on the ground.
