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.

None of the knights came back. Oswald was pretty proud of the outcome of their trick.

The wheelbarrow's tank was repaired and both its handle were the same size anew. The long walk between his house and the village let him wonder on what he should do once he had money.

Strangely enough, few people he didn't know waved at him. The village's population was small, their head did rung a bell to him, but not their expression. In contrast, others meanly glared at him, sometimes spitting on the road in his back.
