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 was quick in his actions. He did not spare any chance and paralyzed the enemies whenever he found one. The speed of his spell-casting was immediate; more than that, it was all silent.

The young man entered the bandit settlement but did not attack any patrolling teams first. Instead, his primary targets were people inside the makeshift bamboo cottages. He used the shadow spells to move from one spot to another and perfectly avoided the flame torches.

However, the number of these bandits was scary. After half an hour, Valerian had caught twenty of them, and this was not even a quarter of them. No wonder they needed to commit crimes. Feeding such a massive group without any income would demand such actions.

Strong Enemy.
