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 followed Fragrantia to his room and then he washed up while the lady selected a set of clothes for him. It did not take long for the boy to walk out of the room dressed in a coarse white shirt with brown pants with calf high boots.

The catching feature was the dragon pin from yesterday was now replaced by a lily flower pin inlaid with blue gemstone, paired with the daggers tied around his thighs. There were six daggers until they were taken out of the sheath, the people will find them to be normal.

The seventh dagger was tied horizontally to his tailbone, this was a light element dagger. The two people walked through the corridors with a cat riding the head of her humble servant.

Fragrantia had a faint smile on her face as she noticed the two conversing with each other throughout the way. However, what amused her was the furrowed and vexed face of the boy. She could guess that dealing with Fortuna was really difficult for this genius.
