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

The two people stood facing each other. Ignis was breathing heavily, as he was looking at the two of them. Libra bent down and picked up his sword from the ground. He was very surprised by Valerian's ability to maneuver around his attack and that too at a fast speed.

Valerian looked at the middle-aged man and asked, "Your sword is made of Mithril?"

Libra was surprised, and asked, "How do you know?"

Valerian shrugged his shoulder and asked, "I have seen it before, a grandmaster in Calix City. He was awarded by the previous emperor."

Libra recalled and nodded in affirmation. Then he asked, "How will you fight against this weapon? Do not say that it is unfair. A weapon is also a part of my strength."

Valerian thought for a bit when Ignis mumbled, "Despite looking his valiant looks, this old man sure is cheap."

Adele pinched Ignis on his shoulder and said with a glare, "Don't be rude."

Magnum Magister Valerian.
