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 looked toward the barrier, and the Holy Maiden said, "The barrier will still hold for a few hours. We need to get you ready."

The young man looked back at her, and the Holy Maiden said, "Here. This is the armor."

She waved her hand, and a silver and blue-colored plate armor appeared between them. However, Valerian did not react much to it. His mind was disturbed by the shock waves coming from the barrier. The holy maiden could sense this and said, "Valerian, you are the only person who can take down that man."

The young man just stood there looking at the things happening around him. The holy maiden wanted to say something, but after she noticed the oddity in his behavior, she was forced to stay silent about it. Valerian was the calmest and sharpest mind she had seen. Now watching him disorientated was simply something she did not know how to deal with.

The Tyrant.
