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 waited for the driad to leave after he received an ancient pinewood sword. The sword was simple and rough but had a certain charm about itself. The young man did not want to ponder over the question as to why Fortuna made him take this wooden sword. His eyes were fixed on the records that the driad handed him.

Suddenly, he wished to kill that driad. After scratching his head for a few minutes he put the records to the side and found a tree to vent his anger. He began to punch the thick trunk of the old tree at the bank of the lake. Fortuna was napping at the side when she heard the constant low thuds, she turned her gaze at Mathiyus and asked with a growl, "Why is he so restless?"

Mathiyus did not understand why Valerian was acting like this, he replied to Fortuna, "I have no idea, your excellency."
