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 and Fortuna were confused by the statement. They did not understand what the lady was talking about. Fortuna asked, "What do you mean by the norms of the human body?"

The saintess said, "Well, usually, the body of a human will decay over time, right? We all age."

She paused, and the two people nodded before she continued, "Immortuous has no such limitation. His body does not age."

Valerian opened his eyes wide, and Misericordia said, "His body is made of condensed mana. One cycle of mana circulation and he will be good as new. None of the mages can fight with him. Even the late Queen of Dragons failed to fight him. Her decay magic, which was why everyone dreaded her, could not hold a candle to the potential Immortuous displayed."

Fortuna asked, "You mean to say that he is immortal?"

Dragon Treasures.
