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 and the three monarchs stood on the battlefield surrounded by thousands of corpses, watching the proceedings, but they did not have any fluctuations on their faces. They were not bothered by what was going on around them.

Morgana heard the hushed voices and asked, "What do you think they are chanting? Why does it not match our common tongue to cast spells?"

Valerian replied, "They are chanting in the ancient tongue of Valkyria. Every nation in this world has an ancient language of its own. This language is derived from the sounds made by the original magical beings and when chanted with a certain emotion in their hearts. This language allows the people to communicate with these beings."

The three people nodded, and Ashlyn asked, "Val, how do you even know all this? I mean this much knowledge, it should not have been buried in some library, right?"
