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 asked Clove about what happened gently, and the girl subconsciously looked at the faces of the four people, who glared at her overtly or covertly. She flinched and Priscilla said, "If you all wish to have your eyes dug out, keep glaring at her."

Her calm voice made the people shiver, one of the people forcefully calmed his fear and said, "Can we not even look at her to check whether she is fine or not? Why are you intimidating us? Who do you think you are?"

Priscilla revealed a charming smile and the next moment she appeared behind Garron, who was speaking just now. She dug her fingers under his ribs and held them. The result was a scream that made everyone shiver. Priscilla did not invade the flesh, she just held the ribs with flesh. She did not exceed the hold for more than a few seconds but it was enough to immobilize the guy and leave him covered with his tears, snot, and mud.

Scolding.
