    Gabriel looked at him. "Everyone in my town don''t keep wolves as pets, but she must''ve been brave, she must''ve had the true heart to take you under her wing." The wolf put its head on its paws.

    "I''m sorry, but I need to continue my work, she wouldn''t want vultures eating her too." Gabriel then told it.

    Before he lit a fire, he jumped down next to her corpse and held her bony hand.


    "You must''ve been a really good person to this wolf. You seemed to have been a LOVELY person." He sighed. "I wish I would''ve met you when you were alive." He whispered.


    Suddenly, he felt a surge of energy come from within him, it spread down his arm to the tips of his fingers, where it touched the dead woman''s hand.


    What was THAT?
