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.

Flattening ego

"That'd be the least of my worries to have you visiting me before every sleeping sessions I intend to do."

Oswald rolled his eyes in reply. "What a doom-sayer. You've been given a pain relief and all you reply to it is your disbelief? You'll never cease to amaze me Henri, to think you'd want proof other than your utter discomfort, I don't think you're allowed to be picky, you'll have a sample soon... My eyes, as bright as you see them, are but a defect of my body, just like those." He said, touching his pointy ears.

"And those." He grabbed the boy's arm and forced the boy's finger to touch the surplus of fangs that pushed his tongue deeper in his throat.

"If you pay enough attention to your underlings, you'll realize some of them have peculiarities too, but don't overdo it, you'll go insane by tomorrow. The soldiers here sure are a bunch of special beings..."

Henri subconsciously nodded, incidentally letting Oswald hook him on the matter he originally came for.
