Valerian, an outcast in his own home of Elyria, a celestial realm where immortal avians live, is anything but ordinary. Born from the forbidden union of a mortal man and an avian woman, Valerian is a half-breed, bearing the wings of an avian and the soul of a human. For this, he has been shunned his entire life. In Elyria, avians live eternally, their wings symbolize their divine nature. Valerian's mother, upon his birth, was banished to the mortal plane of Eldoria—a land teeming with diverse races and cultures. This punishment was not just for their union but because of a prophecy foretelling that a child born from such a forbidden bond would bring the end of times. Stripped of her celestial essence, Valerian’s mother was forced to live among mortals. Valerian grew up in isolation, his childhood marked by loneliness and fear. Seen as an omen, he was kept locked away, his every action scrutinized. Viewing Elyria as a prison, Valerian rebelled, hoping to be cast out and find freedom. Yet, no matter his actions, the avians refused to banish him, ignoring his desperate attempts to escape. Determined to break free, Valerian takes a drastic gamble that finally grants him his desired freedom, but at a steep price. Now that Valerian has become mortal, he faces a whole new set of challenges. Struggling with an identity crisis, he must discover who he truly is: a human, an avian, or something entirely different. The story delves into the rich and varied world of Eldoria, introducing a host of mortal residents such as elves, the fey, beastfolk, wizards and witches, dragons, and many more. Chapters will be updated every two days, or daily if my backlog allows it!
