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 sighed and asked, "What floor are they on?"

Taurus replied, "Thirty-fifth floor, Master."

Valerian gazed at the young man begging him, asking, "How many people are there? Tell me what you exactly know. Come along with me."

The person nodded, and Valerian led them to his home. Shiba and the rest were already there. He was trustworthy if they had learned anything about Valerian in the past few years. He would never betray a person tied to him. So now, they did not even come to the guild building with him.

The trio walked through the crowd and soon came to the house. Shiba raised her brow to ask him what it was about. Because Taurus rarely came to find them. This time Valerian even bought a young man with him. This was unexpected and surprising.

Valerian gestured for the two to sit and asked, "Now, tell me, what is your name?"

The young man replied, "My name is Alan. My sister is called Miril."

Rescue.
