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 did not understand what Cupido was talking about. He was alerted by the quick and heavy thumps in the distance. He could tell that something was approaching him, and it was fast. He looked at Cupido and plucked another note from his musical instrument.

The mana threads on her body tightened again, and Cupido gasped in pain. She did not expect this young man to be so ruthless. She said, "What are you doing?"

Valerian said, "I do not have much time before I am in danger again. Now will you undo the spell, or do you want me to kill you to break this spell?"

Cupido was shocked. She asked, "You mean you will kill me?"

Valerian gazed at her with a cold set of eyes and nodded. However, he did not hide his thoughts. Cupido wanted to morph into her natural form, but the blockage of mana points had washed away her dreams too. Ultimately, the lady withdrew her spell, and Valerian realized his mind had turned lighter.
