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.

Mine only

A terribly uncomfortable feeling spread through Oswald's locked arm.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" He asked as he understood the goal of the dryad. "Don't you dare touching this!" He started to shake in his seat while Laurel's eyes went wide open from the lack of information.

Still, the Dryad continued to pull on the tiny object.

"I need to see it from up close, this is nothing but a rare trinket, not for a soldier, where did you get this?"

"Someone gave it to me!" Oswald's voice started to get louder, and his eyes started to change colour rapidly.

"I know this already, this is an object that is impossible to rob, no one is able to steal from a witch after all." She took the ring in the palm of ther hand and caressed the red gem at its top. The many leaves on her head told the boys something was off.
