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 people fell silent as they heard the story. The lady continued, "From what Divinus told me, he and Flos had been traveling the world. His Majesty Dracos also happened to be traveling the world with the dragon queen Senium.

It was a chance encounter, and the two pairs were visiting the dryad realm. King Dracos and Lady Senium were discussing the matter of magical folk alliance, and Divinus and Flos were also called over because Divinus was the first human to master all seven elements. While Flos was his wife, and she was a formidable lady with lots of connections. She proved very helpful in negotiating things with the human leaders.
