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 was sitting on the back of the Thunder Falcon. They were headed to the Imperial Academy. Fortuna was still keeping the boy on silent treatment. After apologizing for a bit Valerian gave up on it. He did not want to irk her even more.

Soon, the Imperial academy appeared in the sight and Valerian patted the back of the falcon and said, "Linea, land here."

The thunder falcon followed the directions and they landed in front of the academy gates. The guards were alerted by the sudden appearance of a magical beast and they were prepared to attack, when Valerian jumped in front of them and said, "Apprentice Valerian returning from a vacation."

Then he took out his identification token. The guards relaxed, while the leader said, "Please get an identification token for your beast when you enter the academy later. Use this when temporary one till then."
