Maria woke up to the sound of her brother's howl. She sighed and got dressed in the fur clothing she made from her kills and walked out of her den. Her brother padded over and she hugged him. Maria was a human living with wolves. She had been that way for as long as she remembered.

Then the day went to hell when a boy on a winged reptile landed near her den. He was soon surrounded by Shrrg.

He shouted words that I couldn't understand, but the wolves retreated.

Then my wolf padded over.

"Maria, it's time to go. This boy says that he's like you. A non-creature raised by creatures,"

"I'm not ready to leave,"

"You have 24 hours to get ready. Then you say your goodbyes, and we leave." The direwolf said.

I sighed and walked into the cave. I packed and said my goodbyes before climbing onto my direwolf, a species of wolf that is near extinct and larger than shrrg. The boy got onto his winged reptile and flew away. My wolf, Handen, ran after them.
