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.

Gasp!

Father Jagan woke up in his confessional, exhausted from his overwhelming day. He was looking for air as if it all had been vacuumed out of the chapel, he fell down and crept his way out of the small wooden cabin.

As soon as he realised he was out of danger, alone in the middle of the dim light of the torches, he could finally calm down. A giant silhouette came his way, it was silent, just like the shadow. Despite the age of the old planks, no creaking resounded on the floor, the person that approached him had a mystical aura just because the priest's habits were baffled.

"Are you okay?" The man asked the priest, looking for anything to support his bodyweight.

"Ju-Just a nightmare I believe, my child. Don't trouble your sleep for so little." Father Jagan replied kindly.
