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 hesitate in the duty he was given. He worked quietly but quickly. After the people ate, the followers of mercy sat down to eat. They were all considerate to each other and left the portion for the people who could not arrive because of their duties.

Valerian still had a few dishes to clean and did not join them, but Altamash sat down on the table with Solaria and asked hushedly, "Will you not call him?"

Solaria shook her head. She had no such intention of showing this child any mercy. In her eyes, everyone was the same, but this child had blood on his hands, so he needed to work harder. Altamash had explained to her why Valerian did what he did. However, the lady did not buy it. She could not believe that a young man would be so cruel.
