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

Fortuna heard the question and replied, 'This curse allows the dark wolf to take possession of the corpses in a certain range. The despairing characteristic of this curse is that it spreads. Do not get wounded, or you are done for.'

Valerian asked, 'How to defeat these guys?'

Fortuna pondered the question and said, 'Chop the heads off or smack it to a pulp.'

The young man nodded while attacking the dark wolf under him. Then, he said, "Are you getting smug by spreading this sham of a toxin around those I have already defeated? I do not understand what sort of validation you will achieve by this act of yours. Probably get to be known as the desperate mutt that you are."
