Shepard's Dog

Share

I haven't uploaded anything here for a long time, so I'm putting up all the works I've done this year.
So this Character is from a short story, called the Shepard's Dog, an ex priest Named Aidan Finch, that was witness and victim to a town being slaughtered when they didn't leave. He was shot, hung up (tried to show the rope marks on his neck) and left to die, he was saved though by the town doctor, who lived on a farm a couple of miles away from the town. The doctor nursed him back to health and tried to get the law to go after the bandits, but winter was in 2 months and they couldn't find anything in time. After that Aidan could not bring himself to accept the fact that guilty men should run free from their crime, and accepted his sin and possible damnation to hell to hunt these men down. He trained two years with a Comanche (who's child was saved by the doctor and gave up his war way of life) while the doctor was able to find rumors on the bandits. When Aidan felt he was ready his journey for revenge began.

I wanted to make a story where the question of how far does faith go when confronted with injustice. The thing about my character is he knows what he is about to do is wrong, he knows he will have to pay the price one day. He knows that justice could come to those men one day, but how many would have to suffer in order for them to be punished? That is the part Aidan cannot accept, so if he can't be the Shepard, let him be the dog.
