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

<p>Valerian was announced to be the junior acolyte. He was given a room in the temple itself, and he was also given a uniform. The young man was given a white habit with a thin blue trim around his sleeves. His task was to help with the chores inside the temple and study everything about the belief and the history of the order.  </p>

<p>It sounded easy at first, but the thing was, the temple was understaffed. Valerian was the only junior acolyte in the high temple. This place was so big that it could provide for half the city. Yet, this place was filled to the brim as needy people would travel from all over the continent to seek aid.  </p>
