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.

Order and discord

Targeting Oswald was a terrible idea, approaching Tom while his protector was away was much worse.

Holding the edge of his bed, Tom had to rebuke to the men's provocations, but seeing troubles entering with the same face mimics he saw before Dariel and Daniela's death built up tension in his body.

Oswald couldn't hide his malice. The growing irritation from the time he spent in the camp had its share of rest, with Mikel, but it soared as soon as the veterans stepped back into his den.

Meryl pondered on her decision to never help her son hide again. "They need an example... Men don't react with words, they react with acts." She whispered in Tom's ear.
