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 landed Linea in a relatively open space at the city square and he asked a guard, "Where can I find Prince Ignis?"

The guard bowed and relied, "Your Highness, Commander is in his bunker, please allow me to guide you there."

Valerian nodded and the guard quickly led him to the bunker after informing his superior. The city was like a maze, and the bunker was made in a relatively common location. Valerian nodded when he saw the protection detail of the place and also how this place was not easy to find. They had deliberately collapsed a few walls and made this area akin to a maze.

When they reached the bunker, the guard was about to call out loudly to inform the people inside, but they saw Ignis walking out of the bunker to greet Valerian. The red headed prince chuckled and said, "You finally came, Val."

Struggling.
