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.

Theories

'That's what Claudia and Risandro were looking for! A reaction to the cross!' Oswald thought, a finger on his friend's lips to quieten him. He covered back the symbol that seemed to blind Laurel and degraded the plank further to not have it trigger another bad reaction.

"What's with this? It's ridiculous! That's a mere carving and that's not even alive!" Laurel checked his hand for splinters or something similar, he was reluctant examining near the mark anew. He pointed at the other cross as well, he couldn't relax next to it until it was destroyed as well.

"I don't understand..." Said Oswald.

'The one looking like a 't' has the holy meaning and hurt him, whereas the other upside down should mean the oposite and still he can't relax next to it.'

"Will this worsen like everything else if I swallow the fang? I'm not ready for this at all."
