A/N: This is something DragonRayne wrote in Etymology class. Her teacher assigned the class to write a story, any story they wanted, using three of their etymology words, and this is the first thing she came up with.

He had lived for hundred of years, and the number of demons who opposed him were slowly starting to wane. He ruled the Western Lands; he was the most powerful and terrifying dog-demon living! But despite all that glorious power, to his chagrin, he was lonely.
Others would have said that love and loneliness were a great disadvantage; a weakness. He had learned better.
The half-demon that was his brother, the younger brother he deemed as a curse, had forced this issue upon him. More accurately, it was the human woman his brother traveled with. She followed him everywhere, and when the going got rough, as well as dangerous, she risked her life on her own volition to save his brother.
Perhaps it was these thoughts that ran through his head as he lay injured in the forest. It was these thoughts that surfaced when the little human girl found him and cared for him, even though she was punished by her village for stealing food for him.
And when he was fully healed, he remembered her. He remembered what she had done when he found her lying on the forest floor, her eyes lifeless and her blood staining the ground, slaughtered by feral wolves. It was also those cursed thoughts that compelled him to use his life-giving sword to give her her soul back.
As he traveled with her, she slowly melted the casing of ice that had formed over his heart. Her young innocence and her lack of fear made him smile.
And he was no longer lonely.
