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.

Alarming echo

It was much easier to hide his golden eyes when there was no moon over his shoulders.

Anytime a roof stood above his head, only an intense flame could reveal his strange nature. The boy wasn't punished for keeping his secrets, still in Ward's head he was put in the category of person whom skills could be used two ways.
