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.

Now turning toward the deranged man, Oswald lifted Adelmo's head from the ground, holding the man by pulling his hair. He asked why Ruth was out of her grave and learnt about the weeks of complete lunacy the village had entered with the litres of alcohol that were ingested.

"I am about to ask you to sacrifice your life to save this damned village." He whispered, looking at the light-headed Ugo and Maddie.

Again, the Titan was nearby, if not for the shining two stars on his shoulder pad, Oswald wouldn't have known about the man's rank.
