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

Linea flew up to the sky with two people sitting on her back. Valerian and Morgana sat beside each other, their eyes were calm, looking at the scenery ahead. The young boy patted Fortuna's head gently as they flew toward the imperial capital.

Suddenly, the boy said, "Linea, fly slowly, the convoy is falling behind."

The thunder falcon slowed down his speed and the Princess asked, "To what do I owe the pleasure of an Imperial Prince coming forward to welcome and escort me?"

Valerian smiled and said, "The similarities we have can be called the reason behind this gesture."

The princess was surprised and looked at the boy beside her, and asked, "What similarities?"

Valerian smiled, unaffected by her cold voice, he said, "I am also adopted into the family because of my talent. I also suffer from some deficits."

Morgana's gaze turned cold and she asked, "Why do you think these two things are similar among us?"
