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 waited a few hours before a few people arrived at the cabin. He looked at the two men and the two flying beasts behind them. Then, he said, "Next time, be quicker."

The two men froze and then glared at him. After that, they entered the house, and after some verifications, the old lady was taken into custody and then transported away. Valerian scoffed at the jeering looks of these people and then fixed the collar chain for Valerie.

The girl asked, "That old lady was an enemy?"

She was pretty surprised because this was the first time she had witnessed the cunning of people in person. Valerian said, 'This is why I told you humans are not all nice.'

Valerie nodded and held his hand as she said, "But you are nice big brother."

Valerian smiled and said, 'Valerie, do you like hats?'
