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.

Plan in action

Tom couldn't believe how easily he had obeyed higher authority, how weak he had been against the devil's aura. Tightening a belt over his hips, his thick nails scratched against the inside of his sleeve and opened a wide hole.

"And now, imagine the thing as a spectacular sphere of energy with eyes staring down at you and feathers the size of a house moving like tidal waves. The goat is nothing compared to what I've seen once." Said Oswald, forcing a tight pant to fit his thighs.

Tom shook his head, annoyed. As soon as Oswald finished his sentence, he moved it vertically. "That's the exact monster I imagined when you spoke about that thing in the barn, the night you found a half-eaten lamb stuck under the door. Maybe I'll have a few nightmares thanks to the enhanced eyesight you gifted me with." With a slight shoulder move, he hinted the rising sun to the boys.
