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 and Fortuna spend their time together for the rest of the time. They still had a week to mingle with each other, and the boy, after much care, had begun to feed the dragon/cat with cooked meat.

The lazy cub kitten has become quite energetic. Although she was very moody even now, she was still very accommodating to Valerian, others were just brushed off like air.

One day the little one rode Valerian to the dining hall, she looked at the Emperor and turned her face away. The people were surprised and they did not know what to say, except for Fragrantia who laughed and said, "Looks like you are being disdained, Your Excellency."

Valerian shook his head and fed the cat before he consumed the food. This was the daily ritual, caring for the princess was the knight's duty. Tonight was one such night and after the people finished eating, Valerian said, "I will leave for the academy tomorrow, or master might come out searching."
