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

Morgana was shocked to see Valerian before her, and then a strong wave of anger drowned her sanity as she channeled her battle aura and broke free from his restraints. Valerian was not shocked. He knew something like this would happen and immediately raised his arm to block an incoming punch.

The Empress was not pulling her punch in the slightest, and the punch sent Valerian flying into the wall twenty meters away. A dull thud shook the wall. The guards outside were shocked and opened the door to rush in, but the lady said, "Stay out!"

The soldiers reacted in an instant and closed the door. Valerian coughed up lightly and stood up. He smiled and said, "Mor..."

Rekindling.
