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.

Confidence

Henri's voice echoed in the tent. "Do I have to take your word as the sole proof of your adventure? Or perhaps you belong to a camp I have yet to acknowledge?" The little bit of confidence he had came from the hand of the orc. The man did not hesitate pushing the great general back on his chair.

But Henri's fears couldn't be concealed for someone with such an accurate nose as the wolf.

'What is this cocky attitude? Did wings sprout out of his back while we were away?'

Oswald saw through the intimidation attempt, he ignored the question and talked to the redhead instead. "I told you, we should've kept the blood on our face, they would've tried to identify us first and then ask about the situation. There's no need to talk to them, trust me, this one only talks with his fists." He pointed at the orc, making the man sneer.

"He's probably here to translate the rubbish we, soldiers, might babble under our dirty beards."
