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

Valerian walked in the front, with the two guards following behind him. The guards were keeping a high vigil while the young prince was holding the unconscious commander of the Lunakes. In this conflict, none of the warriors have been captured by the enemy alive. The warriors who were grievously injured will decisively commit suicide.

This was the same for both sides. Frila and Teal still could not wrap their minds around the fact that this outlander has managed to capture a commander rank officer in a casual encounter, and the scene when the thirty Lunake soldiers were almost single-handedly taken care of by this young man was also sending them jitters.

Suddenly, they heard the young man ask, "Are you thinking about how did I manage to capture this guy alive?"

Frila was stunned and then replied, "Yes."

Miserable Wakar.
