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

Fortuna and Boo-too glanced at Valerian, who seemed lost in a daze. The young man was thinking about what the dragon supreme said, 'The threat the world will face soon.'

He could not help but wonder what this threat would be like. Fortuna asked, "Val, what is it?"

The young man woke up from the daze and shook his head. Boo-too said, "Let's go. I will take you to meet him."

The trio moved through the horde of flowers. This time the bloomkin were more active. Valerian saw them and greeted them with a smile. He said, 'The beauty and innocence of a bloomkin are just too calming.'

Bootoo smiled and said, "Be careful. Some of us have thorns."

Valerian smiled, and soon they arrived at a place surrounded by thick trees, it was a maze, and the two of them were disoriented instantly. Fortuna remarked, "Hallucogen spore?"
