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

The following morning, Valerian took the little girl to the market. Last night, the people said this region was running low on grains and other necessary supplies. However, the situation was gradually improving.

The people were in dire need, and the marketplace was open to many merchants and traders passing through this route. The people in business were always seeking profit, and this place was an opportunity for them. However, they could not ask for a high price. Valerian found the marketplace thriving, and the people were haggling non-stop.

Valerie was excited to look at the bustling scene. She sniffed something in the air, and her eyes sparkled. Valerian caught her expression and asked, "Vali, do you smell something nice?"

The girl nodded and said, "I don't know what it is, but it feels delightful."

Valerian smiled and said, "Lead the way. Let us see what is it?"

Imperium.
