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 rushed through the woods and quickly arrived at the spot where Valerie and Anne were. He rushed close to the spot and found Valerie standing behind Anne as the mare fended off a few attacks from a horde of bandits. The young man sighed as he dashed over and said, "Vali."

The girl turned around quickly and cried, "Big brother, these are bad people, they hurt that big tree and took him inside a magic box, and Anne is also in trouble."

Rage condensed in Valerian's eyes. He walked over, and his gaze shifted to a group of soldiers. They all wore crimson armor with a silver symbol of the Tyrant's empire. The soldiers had stopped acting when Valerian arrived and began to assess the newcomer.

Valerian patted Anne and said, "You did well. Take rest."

Rage.
