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

Emperor Moon shouted and his warriors picked up their spears. On the other side, Ensis and the others drew their swords, only War Minister Abbot and Empress Fragrantia were calm. They acted as if the strong roar did not affect them.

Abbot was a veteran, strong enough to kill all the people in the opposing party. However, he did not act as if the empress was not worried and stood calmly. Fragrantia sighed and said, "Since you are so eager to be a puppet for the berserks then your son probably did not die in vain. After all, if he was pushed in this situation by the Prince of Valkyria."

Emperor Moon was angry and said, "You dare to blame Barak, do you think I do not know about the cruel manner your servant boy handled him? Just because he is a battlemage, I would like to see what he can do when the armies march over your proud Imperial capital, and the day he steps out of that academy, I will be there to take his head off his shoulders."

Progress.
