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 sitting in front of the lady and saw that she was not willing to speak anymore, and was just looking at his visage in silence. After a few minutes, she asked, "Do you really not feel disgusted by this appearance of mine/"

Every woman was conscious of their appearance. Especially those who looked beautiful like Lilian. She had sensed that all the people who saw the real face hidden behind the veil, will have some reaction, however, this child in front of her was simply looking back at her with his eyes clear like a gem.

Valerian shook his head and said, "Everyone has a flaw of their own, and you do not get worried by this mark yourself, why would you be bothered by what the other people think?"
