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

<p>Zeenat looked at her nephew who was claiming to be stronger than he was, and she sighed as she said, "I can understand what is going through your mind, but you need to understand that Morgana is not weak, she is way stronger than you are, why must you risk your life if you can live and stand by her side? Is sitting on that throne so important for you?"  </p>

<p>Noor looked her right back in the eye and said, "I am the legitimate son of my father, and it is my birthright to ascend that throne, so why must I allow some bastard to sit over there and walk over my head? I am not as strong as she is in terms of ability, but my mind is still quite sharp. I will be sending in my champion to fight for me. I remember that the royal edicts have mentioned the royalty solving matters by electing a champion."  </p>

Champions.
