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

Vertex was shocked, he did not expect his uncle to attack Valerian so suddenly, his worries were not baseless, after all, the spell cast by Vulcan was at least grade six. The second prince had speculated his companion to be in grade four of magic and battle skills.

Just as the cloud of flames was about to rush and swallow Valerian, the boy said in a calm tone, "Ventus Scutum, Terra Liga."

The first spell cast a shield of wind, spinning around his body like a bubble and the earth attribute binding spell was to greet Vulcan. The legs of the man were encapsulated in granite, and despite having a physique stronger than average mages, he could not break free.

The next moment, a shadow flickered in front of him, and he was greeted with a jade-like fist invading his vision. Valerian did not stand in the cloud of flames to be scalded, he rushed forward and decided to counter this man. He had witnessed for this person to attack the second prince.

Beast.
