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 and Morgana sat on the wall until sunset; during this period, the two of them shared a lot of things, from their histories and their flaws to their dreams.

Morgana did state that she wanted to take revenge. She despised the man who was supposed to be her father and her younger brother, who pretended to be the apple of her eye to the rest of the world.

He would humiliate her in private for being a child out of wedlock and for being the daughter of a maid. There were many times that she was almost beaten to death. Valerian chuckled and commented, "How similar the childhoods we have had."

Morgana shook her head and rolled her eyes at him. They continued talking until the stars came out in the sky. They only woke up when a messenger came and said, "Your Highness, forgive me for intruding; Her Excellency has summoned you and the princess to the palace for dinner."

Valerian nodded and said, "Morgana, let's go; someone is getting impatient."

It Is Fun.
