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

Morgana opened her eyes wide and tried to snatch the veil back from Valerian. However, the boy did not allow her to take it back and took a quick step back. The next moment the two figures were running all around the room.

Valerian suddenly stopped and Morgana ended up in his arms. This surprised the girl even more and she said, "You are getting bolder and bolder. What happened to you in the time we did not meet?"

Valerian smiled while holding the girl and said, "I read a few books, and tried to figure out the meaning of your gift to me that night. Did I misunderstand something?"

Morgana was surprised and then she blushed slightly as she slapped his chest gently. Valerian smiled and said, "I also like you, Morgana. You are strong, and very smart, at the same time, you are gentle too. I wonder how you feel about me?"

Fighting.
