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 and Valerie had just left the city, and Anne had begun to run fast when a bird's call slowed Valerian down. Raising his head, he found a magic bird slowly circling them. Gradually the bird descended, and Valerian found an acquaintance sitting on the saddle.

He asked, "Sir Calor, is something the matter?"

It was Calor. He had come over to pass the orders of the Knight Commander. The man jumped off the bird, and so did Valerian. Calor said upon getting close, "The commander has a task for you."

Valerian raised his brows and asked, "What is it?"

Calor smiled and said, "He wants you to track down all the Tyrant's men. Can you do it?"

Valerian thought briefly, saying, "I do not know what your Commander is thinking. I intended to look for these hounds, so I guess I will take it, however, since he sent you to inform me. I think you do have something in exchange for my labor?"

Sudden Situation.
