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 was quick on his feet, he ran behind the small fox, calming down the chaos and opening a path for him. The distance that had taken him a whole day earlier, was just covered in a few moments. The silver-haired boy said, "After this, you come to find me at the city gate."

That said, he cast a wind spell as he jumped up high. Valerian could leap for five meters in the void, and with a few wind spells, he reached the top of the wall. He looked at the sentries on the wall and said, "What is the situation?"

The sentry told him everything and Valerian nodded. Then he instructed them to follow the silver fox, and inform the others not to harm it. The sentry did not understand what was going on, but he could tell, that the authority of this child was not shallow. Valerian jumped down from the edge of the city and entered the city.

Nightmare.
