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

Gale landed on the ground gently, and Valerian finally caught a good view of the building. This place gave him a similar architectural vibe to Throne mountain. He was surprised, and Gale said, "The depictions of the throne mountain adapt the design of this temple. The craftsmen tried to follow the lines as much as possible to make this place resemble the abode of the dragon god."

Gale had just finished her explanation to Valerian when the young man turned around and found seven people around them, all wearing crimson robes, with a hood covering their heads. He did not know anything and immediately became vigilant.

The dragon nodded at his reaction slightly because lowering your guard in an unfamiliar place could lead to death. She said, "These are the acolytes of the temple. You do not need to be wary of them."

Temporary Stay.
