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 calmly asked Leana, "What did you say?"

Leana sighed and replied, "You do not understand the meaning of the word whore, I guess. You are probably too innocent, so the dragons allowed you to climb this mountain. This woman almost stole two of my most precious things."

Valerian tilted his head and asked, "What were those two things?"

Leana replied, "She had designs on my Brother and Divi. They were kids when they met, and for some odd reason, my Brother liked her. I was completely fine with it. However, this woman never paid any attention to him. Then, one day, she came forward to introduce me to the boy I had loved since I was young.

That day, Divi told us theirs was a fateful encounter, and they felt connected. I was vexed, but Divi was happy. I tried to endure this and tried to move on with my life. But I realized that my brother began spending much more time with her.
