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

Time passed and a month was already gone by. Valerian sat on the top floor of the battle mage tower, today he managed to climb the tower in five hours, and had also been answering the questions that Fallax asked him.

The old man was shocked at how easily the questions were answered and Valerian's speed on the stairs was also something that he did not expect. The biggest talent point that was displayed by this child was adaptability. He was able to get used to the spells and the sudden changes in the mana attribute of the stairs in a month or less while battle mages in even an older age would take a couple of months.

Fallax liked this young child, in his eyes, this kid was a gem with some rough edges. After Valerian was done with the test, he gazed at the old man, waiting for the result, even though he knew that he had passed, he did not trust that this old man would be fair to him.
