The Dragons Heart

Chapter One The Lone Wolf

I wake up the the sound of a deep Howl. "It sounds close by." Rica said as i was getting out of my sleeping bag. I yawn and stretch still trying to wake up, "Do you want to get it or shall I?" I asked with a tiered voice. "I've got this one, but you have to get the next." She exclaimed. Just like that she spread her huge wings and took off towards the sound of the howling.

It was a cold morning and it took a long time to get a fire started without Rica's help. She's taking a long time, I thought to myself. A few more minutes pass and I start to get worried. It should not have taken her this long just to get rid of a few snow wolves. Just then i heard a loud growl behind me, I turn around to find a lone wolf standing on top of the hill. "Poor thing" it was as skinny as a bone and the expression on its face was scared. It looked like it didn't want to hurt me yet it was on edge encase I attacked. I slowly unsheathed my sword, preparing myself to kill the pathetic animal. I lunge at it, but it doesn't move a muscle. I stop right before i cleave it's head off, wait for a moment and then sheath my sword. I stared curiously at the white wolf as it calmly lays down. I don't know what to do so i step backwards, *SNAP* the root that i stepped back onto broke and i went rolling down the hill. When i stand back up the wolf had come and sat at my side just looking up at me. "What is up with this wolf" I thought to myself. "Well I guess I'll just wait till Rica gets back the we can discuss what to do with you."
