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 did not pay attention to the shocked girl in front of him, he sent her away, cleaned himself up and coaxed the little dragon to transform into a kitten, and then took her out for breakfast. The routine was normal and everyone ate with calm, only Azula was a little distracted.

She could not understand what happened to Valerian when he called her sister in the morning, but this change came so suddenly that her heart was overwhelmed. She did not know how to express the emotions in her heart. This was not something she could digest. This guy was a block of ice, sudden warmth from him was odd.

Valerian acted as if nothing out of ordinary happened, after finishing his meal, he said, "I will leave in a bit. I plan to take the road this time around."

Everyone else was surprised, except Fragrantia. Before they can make any other suggestion, the Empress said, "Good, just be careful on the way. Also, I heard that you got a new gift from your sister?"

The Princess.
