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

Fallax did not understand this kid making such a demand out of nowhere. He was not a fool to not know the identity of Morgana Centurion. That girl was the strongest battlemage as they claimed her to be, and at a point in time, Fallax had the desire to train Morgana as a student under his tutelage.

For this dream of his, the old man personally visited the centaur nation. However, he was denied of an audience with the princess and the Emperor, Jamal, himself told him that the princess will be homeschooled and not sent away given that she was a future pillar of the nation and was too young at that time.

Fallax gave up his desire after that, he did try to sneak up and get closer to the princess, but the security around her was even more impregnable than what he could bypass silently. The old Magus Magister had his fair share of trouble and he did not want to add more to the list by kill centaur guards in the royal premises.
