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 woke up the next day and after consuming his meal, the boy went to the arena, Fallax had put in a good word to some of the senior Warriors and mages. Things have been a little complicated when the elders recalled how Valerian dealt with Barak and Tyrant.

However, Fallax said, this was down because of the regional politics and Valerian will not use a heavy hand against the contenders, after all, it was the process to learn from each other.

Weighing the fact that Fallax will owe them a favor after this, they all agreed and the daily routine had a new task, Valerian will spar with mages and warriors introduced by the Magnus Magister every day. His skills were rising very quickly and he was getting stronger every day.

Surprise.
