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.

Ruckus with the boys

Oswald escaped. At least, that's how he considered his slow walk toward freedom, a place where he was unloaded from his mission.

He looked at the guards from up above, a thin smile decorating his lips. Even behind the door, he could hear the queen's breath lessen, he knew she was calming down despite the sudden assault. She was looking at her new world, discovering the smallest wonders around her, the true perfume hovering out of her tea and how sweet was the cake she pecked at until now.

'Soon, very soon she would find the biggest mirror of the palace to look at herself.' He thought, not daring to accelerate one bit. He was certain of his victory.

'Why have the Vatican go against the royals if I can have an entire country go against the Vatican?' He thought, refraining from rubbing his hands in contemplation.
