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 had no idea that Bloomkin had met the queen of dragons. His mind was occupied with thoughts of the battlefield, and at first he was in pain over what happened. However, when he thought it over, he arrived at the question, why did he do what he did?

He wanted to find the reason behind this, but he could not arrive at a conclusion. The boy was lost so deeply in his thoughts that he didn't even notice when he got to the Lumen Imperial Palace. Linea was tired from the journey, it was the first time that his master did not tell him to rest, and sensing the turbulent emotions of the master, he did not ask him anything.

Only when they landed in the western garden did the beast say, "Master, we have arrived."

Valerian woke up from his daze. He looked around and realized his location. Then he got off of Linea's back and said, "Take rest and eat well."

Surging Current.
