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

Ameer and Jamal started to go at each other with bare swords and hatred in their hearts. Morgana was standing outside the open door and she heard everything the two were talking about prior to their fight.

It would be a lie to say that her heart was calm, however, the ripples did not last for long. Her heart was long drowned in the fire of vengeance. Ameer Centurion took away her mother, and never cared to show any love for her, even in secret. His eyes never reflected any remorse either, in the past six years, her life was a living hell and here he was, claiming how much he loved her and her mother. Too easy for him.

She was not going to let any of them get away with it. She took out the soul communication bead from a magic pouch tied to her waist and contacted Valerian.

'Val, they have started.', said Morgana after the connection was established.

Coup De'tat.
