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 lady was surprised to meet a man with this keen sense. Not only did Valerian sense her, but he also noticed her presence from earlier. She replied, "I am Shiba. I was looking for a flame snake, but this guy did not choose me."

Valerian thought this lady must have been tracking this snake for a long, and now that she did not get what she wanted, it might cause him trouble, and the young man said, "Look, you can take away this flower or whatever. I do not want any trouble."

The lady nodded and said, "I will not trouble you. This flower does not work for those the master did not acknowledge. You are the only one this dried flower will work for."

Valerian nodded and asked, "Could you please tell me what is the use of this flower?"

Shiba was stunned for a second and asked, "Do you not know what this flower is used for?"

Dungeoneers.
