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

The thunder falcon landed inside the city and watched over the mage taking out rations from the storage bag. Valerian had accumulated a meager some of the money, and his clothes and medicines were mostly stored in the magic bag. So Linea trained her eyes on the mage intently. If the guy made one mistake, he will kill the person.

The mage did all that he needed to do with cold sweat on his forehead. Fortuna pretended to be indifferent but the reason she came inside the city was to make sure that Linea isn't cheated. She did not show it but she cared about Valerian a lot.

In the forest, Valerian and General Kunta watched the Valkyrians attacking the city with all their might. The people were simply too boorish, the attacks had no pattern and they were too noisy. Thinking about it, Valerian said, "It would have been nice if we had a wood archmage in the team."

Kunta asked back, "Why do you say so, Your Highness?"

Mistake.
