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 and the rest of the world began to correspond as time passed. They all set up camps to train the world's youth in martial arts and build bunkers to ensure that in case the demons invade, they would have a tactical advantage in safeguarding the lives of the innocents.

New laws and systems of irrigation were introduced. Every criminal was punished so severely that the crime rate was down to one percent. Morgana had told the world leaders that if they wished to fight the demons outside, they first needed to fight with them inside.

These demons were poverty, illiteracy, hunger, and the human emotions of greed, lust, and rage. She delivered a speech that all the world leaders conveyed to their people via the meaning of imperial publishments, and even traveling bards began to spread the word of her great vision.
