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 sat in the room with Ashlyn and they used sign language for communication. It was said that education in sign language was mandatory around the planet, as in the early ages, humans were forced to live in hiding because of the stronger beasts. The human leaders and gifted then decided to use this language.

There was another reason behind signs, Magicals were unable to understand them. For some odd reason even if a magical saw them communicating, they will not be able to understand this language. Things were simply too miraculous.

Valerian choose signs because he did not want the guards outside to catch a whiff of his existence. He could kill them with ease, but if the two guards went missing, things will be troublesome, he did not wish for that to happen.

Ashlyn asked, "What do you plan to do?"

Valerian replied, "Locate the soul seeker bow, hide it, and then teach your royal court a lesson."
