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 taken the lead too quickly. The people were shocked, the students did not expect it to happen this way. However, the boy had no intention to stop and he rushed forward. A few of the mages and warriors noticed this situation and they called for their peers.

"Stop fighting among ourselves, that kid will be making a joke of us. Contain him first."

The calls were answered by the students and they all began to rush forward and cast spells to hold him down. However, Valerian was not giving them an opportunity. Some of the wind mages thought of learning from him and used the wind movement to carry them forward, but they were limited by their physique, and since they could not gain enough elevation, they could not cover much distance either.
