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

Unknown to the fact that his every move was being scrutinized, Valerian walked through the woods. He was not in a hurry. The dragon kingdom's homeland was a place filled with wonders. He wanted to explore as much as he could.

The night fell, and the forest came alive. Valerian had spent much time inside the woods and liked it better at night. However, the impression left by the dragon kingdom forest was incomparable. The tree leaves had a dull glow as if gems shone under the moon's light. Looking at the sky, Valerian found the two moons shining brightly.

He was confused at first, and after calculating the time, he was surprised. He mumbled, "Why do they not change faces."

At this moment, a sultry voice sounded, "Changing faces is a task left for those under the moons. The moons shine brightly. All you need to see is the vision."

Cupido's Defeat.
