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 wolf, the crow and the fox

"Me too sir. If not for soldier Oswald, I would've lost it for sure." Laurel said, caressing his precious jaw, he hid his mouth as if he had said too much. He looked at Oswald because he felt a kind of tension between the two.

The man had a good eyesight, better than the average person, still he had a smell like every human in the camp, like Ward. He was a suspect as a devil's sprout. "I overheard enough of you two. It's hard to not identify the tall guy and his red-haired partner, you stand out a lot. Still, I can't explain how you two managed to survive unscatted, I have several questions, one that concerns our precious guest's corpse."
