Valerian, The Legendary

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.

Despair.

The old man was forced to drop Valerian from his grip. The boy lay on the ground, squirming and whimpering from the pain in his body. The old man located the creature that stood in his way, and scoffed as he said, "So, a chicken also dares to attack me?" 

His words unintentionally sparked the rage of an arrogant dragon. He called Fortuna a chicken. Even if she was in the form of a thunder falcon, this behavior was untoward, and she found her image and ego to be tarnished by this remark thus she let out a shrill cry and a stream of lightning zapped at the old grandmaster. 

The attack stunned and repelled the Valkyrian veteran to a significant distance of twenty meters. Fortuna initially wanted to attack the old man even more, but when she found Valerian whimpering and struggling in pain, she put the thought of revenge aside and made an agile turn.
