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 followed Boo-too through the entire place. The populace of the Bloomkin village spotted him. He could not help but smile at the pretty flowers hopping around and the human figures talking about him.

Boo-too said, "The last human to step here was your mother. They are discussing how you have an aura similar to her."

Valerian nodded and asked, "May I ask what favor my mother did to your kind, Your Excellency?"

Boo-too nodded and said, "The kin discovered the first dragon treasure twenty years ago. The stone was placed in the hidden vault when it was bought here. However, soon after that, we found that the kin was suffering. Hundred bloomkin dead in a matter of weeks. This was impossible because we lived next to the pond.
