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 eastern Tyrant stood facing a young man. The young man wore silver armor with a dragon engraved on his chest. His stalwart figure oozed vitality. Sharp eyes, yet calm breathing. As if a predator was gazing at his prey.

This sensation made his body tense up slightly. Tyrant did not like this feeling. He shook it off and asked, "Who are you?"

Valerian smirked and took off the helmet. He noticed how Tyrant's pupils constricted for a moment and then dilated. The man was covered from head to toe in crimson armor, and only his eyes were visible. Valerian asked, "Are you excited to see me?"

Tyrant replied, "Indeed, to think you would come to meet me on your own accord. Either you are as naive as your father or brave as your mother. Do not worry, and you will end up like them too."

Facing The Enemy.
