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.

The switch

"I never expected to hear such words from your mouth, Laurel. You mean using this as a bait, right? Yeah that's a great idea, but it would stir the camp a little more than necessary." Oswald replied, a little concerned by the suggestion, he scratched his forearm anxiously.

Laurel heaved a sigh, his eyelid twitched and he spoke with a reproacheful tone.

"I know in times of war, there are needs and prisoners, but I can't bear chains, really. I got some memory now, not the blurry one I wanted to forget at all costs. The perfectly detailed one I wish I could forget at once. I can remember the face of my parents, even their voice, I thought it was all gone, lost in the depths of my mind, but it all surfaced back, I can't help but look into my past and clench my jaw each time I understand how rotten people have been with me."

His eyes started to turn red just by talking about his darkest memories.
