There was a blinding light for a second after I forced the wolf to drink the potion. Now that it was fading away I saw that all the injuries it once had were now gone.

"Well ain't that something" I mumbled to myself

"Human" said the wolf In a low female sounding voice.

Wait...

"You can speak?!"

"Of course I can, you humans think you're the only sentients out here" it said with a hint of annoyance.

"First of all, I'll have you know I'm not human I'm Tarkan, second of all how can you speak? And are you a girl? How old are you? Oh are you a goddess? And-"

"Shut up! You speak too much"

I hung my head down like a sad puppy and apologized before it continued.

"It's OK, you humans are an annoyance whether you speak or not. I am a girl, and some do consider my kind to be decendants of the ancient gods. I'm not necessarily speaking, more like tapping into your brain to communicate telepathically, which is weird because that's usually hard to do with you humans." She said this while finally standing up.

"Well I did say I wasn't human and that is awesome, do you have a name?" I said while standing up only to realize that this wolf could shred me in seconds. Let's not think about that...

"Indeed you aren't but I smell the soul of a human within you. Also to answer your question I don't have a name,my kind doesn't need things like that to identify one another" she said with a proud voice.

"Well not to be mean but there doesn't seem to be much more of your kind"

"That is true" it said with a hint of pain in its voice before continuing "human"

"I'm not human"

She ignored me and continued

"I wish to accompany in your travels the heavens tell me there is something interesting and rare about you"

"Sure, sounds cool but we'll need a name for you" I said as I turned towards the dead wolves

"Fine with me, what are you gonna do with my brothers and sisters?" She said as she approached me with her head tilted

"Well I plan on selling the ones that attacked you, as for your kind I can bury them, hmm how about we name you...Yuki?"

"That is foreign to me, what does it mean? Also you don't need to, we believe the body to be something to hold our soul you can do with them as you please."

"It means snow in a... country far from here, and thank you I'll make good use of them"

"I like it, we'll go with that. Now then I do believe you haven't told me your name."

"Ah sorry how rude of me, my name is Draco Orythius, from Tark." I grabbed the last of the wolves and started walking the way I came from, Yuki by my side followed me.

I need to get Intel on this world but I don't know where to start.

"Earlier you said something about my soul being human, what did you mean?" I looked down to her

"I am surprised you do not know this, can't be helped...every living thing has a soul, that soul is unique to said thing or person but every race has their own mark on their soul" she looked at me before continuing "you on the other hand don't look human, but you have a human soul, care to tell me how?"
