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

<p>The two ballistas stationed at the northern front of the city were destroyed, but before Valerian could even think about a retreat, a cold gust blew behind his back, and a slightly hoarse voice sounded, "To think that a little rat will dare to invade the Valkyrian line and even harm four men. Commendable."  </p>

<p>Valerian wanted to turn around when a strong impact from the side sent him flying for ten meters. With a series of dull collisions with the ground, his body came to a rest. The old man kicked him hard, and this kick left him with agonizing pain in his ribs and disoriented senses. The appearance of the old man grabbed the dedication of the young soldiers.  </p>

Bitter Struggle.
