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.
