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 was standing in front of the dragon. This beast had scales all over his body, and the body was covered with mud-colored scales, with two horns on his forehead. The young man did say anything, but his stance of walking while leaning forward slightly.

The people did not know what this kid was up to while he was walking towards the dragon, however, the next moment they all saw something that shocked them through the core. Valerian channeled his dragon mana inside his body, without casting any spell from it.

He looked at the dragon in front of him with a cold glare and said, "I do not care whether you seek death or not. However, if you hinder me from aiding the clan that has the protection of Her Majesty, I will destroy you, and the entire clan that you protect."
