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 Pointiaf told the people what was happening, and the news she delivered shocked everyone. Valerian was petrified and asked, "Your Excellency, what is the threat?"

The Pointiaf said, "We will face a demon invasion."

The crowd could not hold back, and they all began to raise questions, and the clutter made Valerian furrow his brows. Fortuna said, "Silence."

Her voice was calm but no less than a magic spell. Everyone fell silent. Valerian asked, "Your Excellency, the situation has escalated if the influence of Demons can create a Tyrant Immortuous for us. Then what they are capable of doing is not something I can imagine. Please tell us as much as you know.

If people from both kinds, the humans and the magical, are to face this threat, then we need to stand together. No more hiding secrets and no more diplomatic approaches. Can you all promise that?"

Demons.
