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 meeting was finished with the keynote arranging a meeting between Valerian and Imperium. That was not all. The young man was supposed to come and visit the lord of the Hope Kingdom. The twenty big shots all knew that it was going to be tough.

These past few days, they have all witnessed the immense wit of that child. He can make them look like a fool with just a few words. After Imperium left to attend to his matters, the people started a discussion.

The topic was how to deal with this child. Valerian was a virus they had caught, and now it was giving them all such a significant fever that they had no other way but to visit a doctor and swallow the bitter medicine. One of the people said, "This guy appears randomly. However, every night he must return to that temple. How about we meet him there and ask him to come and meet with the lord."

Face to face.
