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 had been moving slowly, but his movements did not stagnate at all, he did not know how many beasts had fallen under his hands, his dark silver attire was stained with a thick splash of red. The blood from the beasts had stained his clothes.

The hilt of the short sword in his hand had become sticky from the blood that dripped from the edge of the blade. Yet, his face and eyes were calm. The blood around him did not give me any sort of sensation, to be honest, if someone asked what he was feeling now, he would say, 'Sorrowful.'

The beasts he fought could not even convey their thoughts, their roars did not have any meaning, they were just roars. Valerian raised his head and found that around him the warriors from the wall had appeared at a small distance and they were fighting the beasts in front of them while observing Valerian.
