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 woke up from his slumber and found that he was still leaning in the warm embrace of the Embrace. He did not hurry to break the embrace as he realized that the sky outside had turned dark and that the lady had fallen asleep while holding him. He sensed a familiar warmth in his heart.

This reminded him of a night when he had caught light fever and even though he was fine after Diligentia cast a healing spell on him, she still held him all night long in her arms all night long.

He raised his hand gently and placing it on Fragrantia's back he cast a lesser healing spell. She must have been tired holding him like this for several hours.

The light of the healing spell seeped inside Fragrantia's body and the breathing of the lady relaxed a little. Valerian began to think what to do next, his mind was calm now, but he wanted to find out what it was that resided inside his body. He did not like this feeling of losing control.

Warmth Of Love.
