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 were moving in the direction of the tent. They both had their unique style of fighting. While Valerian was engaged in close-range fights, Fortuna was akin to a death god from the skies.

She would dive down and cast spells while breathing fire on the enemies. As a dragon, her damage output was off the charts. In the same amount of time as Valerian killed one enemy, Fortuna would bring down too. However, at most Fortuna had always injured her targets seriously, leaving them wailing on the ground.

Priscilla was observing this oddity and was confused, she thought if only she could talk to someone knowledgeable. However, she did not understand bird language and her bonded companion beast was lying inside the beast pouch.

Dejectedly she took back her gaze. Unknown to the point that Valerian was also asking the same question to the dragon on the ground. He let out a low growl and asked, 'Why are you not killing them?'
