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 cast a spell a bit too quickly. Outside the room in the corridor a few noble children were humiliating Lilian, the lady was kneeling on the floor, and her hair were already in disarrangement.

A group of five people was standing in front of her, and the leader of this group was looking down on her with a condescending gaze. His hand was stretched out to snatch the veil away from her face while Lilian was trying to defend herself.

The sudden wind blade flew through the void letting out a buzzing noise, the young boy was experienced and took his hand back. He cast a glare over to Valerian and Ashlyn.

He asked in a cold manner, "Who are you to meddle in my business?"

Valerian did not reply to him and walked over to Lilian's side, gently helped her stand up and said, "You do not have to worry with me around here, Teacher."
