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

Fragrantia left Valerian to rest after they finished talking. The boy went back to sleep on the ground, and a jade vine appeared when he was in deep sleep and coiled around his ankle.

While Valerian was sleeping in his room, Morgana was sitting on a chair with an indifferent face, and in front of her sat Jamal Centurion. The old man did not look weak at all, however, he was not imposing or intimidating either.

He asked, "Well, everything aside, I do not understand why you need to go to the Imperial academy with the prince of Lumen?"

Morgana replied, "Your Excellency, he invited me for a tour, as he thinks I am a friend of his. I had no excuse to refuse, because inside the academy I found out a few things that might come in handy for us."

Jamal leaned back on his chair and asked, "What is that?"
