The Shepherd

In the depths of a frigid winter, Oswald, a mere shepherd, fights for survival alongside his pregnant mother in a war-torn world. His life takes a sinister turn with the arrival of a mysterious traveler who claims to carry an urgent message for the royals. An opportunity bearer but at what cost? As night deepens, Oswald uncovers a shocking destiny that goes beyond mere survival. His night wanderings are no mere sleepwalking; they are tied to the dreadful beast that haunts his village. This wolf-like creature prowls the valley, bringing dread as the specter of war looms closer. Blood will flow, loyalties will be tested, and Oswald must face the beast within as he strides the perilous path between humanity and monstrous power.

Flowers in the mud

A mix of caws and childish requests flew above the camp. Only Oswald and his mother knew where they were from, but none knew why they were here.

They were asking for food indeed, but they led the investigator and her carriage to the military camp.

Near midday, the knight scouting squad let all three of them enter, and Claudia was called in emergency to welcome the guest.

"God be blessed! I've called for your help barely three days ago!" She said, dusting off her bloody apron. "Have you used the crows to relay the message? Those are strange enough to make our soldiers cower."

Rose stood still, taller than most men, she held her dress just above her ankles and silently followed the investigator.
