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 sat on the back of the dragon looking forward into the void. They flew over the clouds, but the scenery did not enchant the young man. Finally, Fortuna asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Valerian came out of his daze and replied, "How far have I come from that child in the orphanage? How did I manage this journey? You know, there was a time when I thought that only if Mother Diligentia accepted me would I be content.

Now that everyone around me accepts me for what I am, I feel unsatisfied. Why is it like this? I was pondering over the changes in reality."

Fortuna hummed in response and said, "You have worked hard, Val. However, I believe that those watching over you would want you to look at the future, not the past. The point of a journey is to enjoy and learn from it and not brood. Unclear as it may be, you made it this far."
