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 left the pavilion and came to the warrior wing to find Princess Morgana and Conixia, however, he found a clatter of hushed sounds in the air. The people around him were talking about how the prince of Centaur nation was defeated by a girl and brutally at that.

Valerian raised his eyebrow in anticipation and followed the directions from the crowd. His speed was calm, and did not stand out of the crowd for being too fast. When he reached the so-called arena of the warriors, he found a girl and a boy standing over an elevated platform. A boy was kneeling on the ground with his breathing ragged.

On the other hand, the lady stood with her chin high up to the sky and a pair of cold eyes locked down at the boy in front of her. She held a black whip in her hand and Valerian could tell that it was her weapon of choice. This whip gave a sinister vibe off it. He looked through the crowd and found Conixia.
