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

He was using dragon tongue to communicate, and heard Fortuna reply, "She doubts the majesty of my noble self. Humph, I would have barbequed her if not for your sake."

Valerian chuckled and said, "Fine, come here, eat this."

He placed down the fish for her, and walked over to Priscilla, he found the girl was biting her lips so as to not let out a painful groan and he sighed as he cast a healing spell on her face. He said, "Now do you realize that this is not a dream but a reality?"

Priscilla looked at him with a face saying, 'I have been wronged, daddy.'

Too bad, Valerian was not very perceptive and ignored this as he asked, "What have you decided then?"

The maid thought for a bit and asked, "Will you take all the responsibility for the scolding and beatings I will receive from her highness or her excellency?"

Valerian nodded and said, "I will. The trip will be short. Quick in and out."

Set Off.
