Lost and Found: Bastion of the West, Episode 1 - Widow's Solace
By Deep Chaudhary

A boy wakes in the depths of Wyoming Forest, battered, nameless, and utterly alone. His fragile body bears the scars of a past he cannot remember, and his amber eyes reflect a soul unmoored. The village nearby offers no refuge-its people see him as a curse, branding him "The Gremlin" and casting him back into the wilderness to fend for himself.

But the forest holds more than danger. Beneath its towering trees and shifting shadows lies solace in an unexpected form-a massive Moon Wolf named Somber and her playful pups. Together, they become the boy's protectors, offering him warmth and safety in a world that has shown him none. Yet, peace is short-lived.

When monstrous gremlins invade their sanctuary, the boy's fate becomes intertwined with a band of hardened travelers. Led by Troy, a seasoned warrior with a haunted past, this unlikely alliance fights to survive the relentless threats of the forest. But as loyalties are tested and secrets unfold, questions arise: Who is this boy, truly? What binds him to these wolves? And what dark past haunts the village that rejected him?
