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 just fastened the circulation of the Decay magic inside him and threatened the beast under his dagger. However, before he could utilize the power of decay, a voice sounded inside his mind, 'You will fail the trial, Valerian. This power does not belong to you until it can influence your consciousness. Do you understand?'

Valerian said, 'Fortuna, could you not have come and directly disqualified me after I used that power? You brat.'

Fortuna replied, 'Whom are you calling a brat? You wait for this battle to end. I will beat you to a pulp.'

Valerian scoffed and began to think about what he should do now. But unfortunately, this rule was not introduced earlier, and this surprise completely spoiled his action plan.

The Curse Of The Dead.
