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 did not know what to say, or what to feel at this moment. He was too young and ever since he could remember, all he had in his life was a constant struggle for power. He was simply too busy to pay attention to what emotions, other than familial love, were.

Now, when Morgana kissed him, he sensed a warmth that quickly spread from his lips to his heart, but he controlled himself and did not let this warmth effect his brain, yet he could sense his heartbeat. It was resonating throughout his body, as if a war drum.

Da-thump, da-thump, da-thump, da-thump...

All of a sudden his throat was dry, his hands were trembling slightly. He thought it was a poisonous attack, but then all of it calmed down as he looked at the girl standing in front of him with a crimson tinted face. He realized that Morgana was also suffering from these same signs and she was discomforted as well.
