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 returned to the temple and found the little girl sitting beside Anne and talking to him. He stepped inside the premise and said, "I was delayed by work. I will cook the food right away."

Valerie stood up and smiled, "It's okay big brother. I already ate some bread from last night. I am not hungry."

Valerian squinted and said, "That bread was being stored for a week, Vali. What if you fall sick?"

The girl stuck out her tongue. Both the young and old did not want to trouble each other, and thus they would do their best to get by. Valerian would fulfill all his duties as a guardian, and Valerie would try to avoid disturbing the young man with her demands. She was a growing child, and her diet was not consistent.
