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 and Fortuna stood gazing at the floor covered in scattered mounds of dragon bones. They did not understand what was going on in this place. How come there were so many dragon bones, Valerian was surprised, although he knew that these things were treasures, he did not reveal any negative emotion towards them.

Fortuna said, "Valerian, no matter what happens, do not get ten steps closer to me."

The young man was surprised and froze in his steps, while the dragonling rushed ahead to open up a distance between the two of them. Suddenly the space shook with a thundering snort. The two people looked around, this part of the trial cavern was well lit but their was no figure visible to them.

Bane Of Dragons.
