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 stage was set and the characters were all ready to act as well. Valerian bid farewell to Fragrantia and went out of the enclosure to seek the informants from the guard squad to seek the information of the targets they have tagged.

Fortuna asked, "Valerian, why did you not tell me any of this?"

The boy smiled and said, "You will not understand that I have learned from my mistakes till I show you my actions."

His words clarified his meaning, after all, Fortuna was really worried that he will do something stupid again and no matter how many times he promised her to be careful in the end, she did not believe him. In the past ten days, when he was practicing in the academy, she could sense some change in his mindset but not really believed it, thinking it was her wishful thinking.
