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 on his feet, and he was overwhelming the bandits. However, the mages had almost hit him with a few spells. The young man in the priest habit did not seem to have any killing intention against them and was cautious about causing damage to the surroundings.

However, the bandits were relentless; they did not care about anything that lay in their path and left destruction in their wake. Valerian did not hesitate in injuring the bandits heavily, but he made sure to leave them alive. The bandit leader lost his cool and jumped off the horse.

This crude guy was a warrior, or this entire group of bandits comprised warriors and mages. Valerian could swear that this was the most glorious bandit gang he had ever known to exist. No wonder the people were so scared of them.

Obliteration.
