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 spent one more day inside the room before he could finally move. Wen would come in the morning and help him to the washroom in this one week. He was grateful to this grumpy young man. Zen arranged a pair of clothes for him. Although not picky, he could not help but take a few hours to get used to the coarse, itchy clothes. Beggars could not be choosers.

During this one week in this place, he got to learn a lot of things from Zen. This place was a remote village where life was slow, and the people were mostly farmers and earned a livelihood by selling their produce to the merchants every six months.

Valerian had expressed his wish to travel this world and go to the place where he could gather more information. Zen smiled and told him that the place he should visit was the City Of Arcane.
