The dragon's gift Chapter 1

Oh? Would you like to test my growth potion too? I have to wonder how big it will make this fine specimen...
He makes his way to Wuffy's home. As he does he can hear the owner of the home bustling around inside. He reaches for the door and knocks, and the scuttling stops for a moment, before starting again. Finally after a few moments of more noise Wuffy opens the door. A behemoth of a wolf, standing at about eight feet in height. His fur was an anomaly, blue, orange, and white. No one knows why, perhaps they're simple markings he gave himself. His body is skinny and lengthy, and his ears are short. He's got a few different bands on his arms, where ever his limbs meet. His claws are dirty, as well as his teeth, which are short but sharp, almost like that of a shark.
"Yes?" He says, his voice is calm and smooth, for some reason he always speaks like this, almost like he's some sort of genius. Which, can be said as true. He's able to learn just about anything just by hearing about it.
"Uh, yeah, Wuff... I came to tell you that I probably won't be coming back when I leave tonight, you see, I was tasked by the chief to go and slay this dragon, she claims it's what has been bothering us. So..."
"You assume you will not survive the ordeal?" Wuffy finishes his sentence. "Not if I have anything to say about it." He nods. "I've known you for far too long to just let you go off and kill yourself, Daiki. I'll be coming with you." Daiki is shocked.
"B-but, you could be killed too! And what would the Chief say?" Wuffy just shakes his head at Daiki's rebuttal.
"I doubt that anything will happen to us if we work together, Daiki. Do not worry. I simply won't allow you to do it alone, and that is final." Daiki opens his mouth to say something, but comes up blank.
"Fine.." Daiki mutters. "I'm not leaving just yet though, I have a few other people to say goodbye to." Wuffy just shakes his head again.
"I'll be waiting for you, and don't even think about leaving without me. I'll know." Wuffy chuckles softly before retreating behind his door. Daiki sighs and turns on his heel before walking to his next friend.
As he makes his way through his friends, which isn't hard, he visited two more after Wuffy, he goes home and gets supplies ready, a few potions here and there, his short sword, and his satchel. Throwing these where they belong on his person, he heads out his door and goes to get Wuffy, not wanting to bother with going out only for him to get ragged on by Wuffy for not listening to him. But as he is heading back to Wuffy's house he realizes there is one person he hasn't said goodbye to yet. The person he's had a crush on for a long time, Araknia. Araknia was not tall in stature, about five feet tall at most. Her shiny pine green and white fur was smooth against her shapely figure, which included a large bust and a rounded behind. Her pointed muzzle stood in front of soft pink eyes, and a blue mowhawk graced her head. Her ears were usually laid back in a relaxed manner, as she played with the septum piercing that hung from her nose. Her attire never helped Daiki either, for the transparent shawl was never longer than her bust, and the rest of her was only covered by a skintight linen cloth. He's suddenly more worried of dying and not getting to spill the beans to her rather then dying in general. He may have never really talked to her, or would she consider him a friend, but Daiki feels that he should say goodbye. He turns and starts walking to where Araknia and her friends usually gather. As he does, he thinks about what he should say to her. Eventually he settles on just saying a few sentences, nothing special, simple goodbye. He reaches the place and sees Araknia standing with a few of her friends chatting. He stands there for a moment, suddenly regretting to come here. One of her friends looks up, a snow leopard. Daiki instantly tightens up and turns to leave, he starts walking away when someone grabs his arm.
"What are you doing?" The voice is feminine, when he turns around it's the snow leopard. She's about five foot six with very subtle curves and a decent size chest. All she has covering herself is a golden see-through shawl that reaches down to her belly. Her eyes are green and staring right at Daiki. What makes Daiki scared is the fact that she has her claws extended.
"I-I... I was coming to say goodbye to someone, but I got shy and was going to leave-" He shakes his head. "I'm sorry for intruding."
"Say goodbye? To who?" she raises a brow, releasing Daiki.
"Uhm... er- Araknia." The snow leopard grins, mischief showing all over her expression.
"Then go say goodbye!" She grabs Daiki and pushes him over to the group of ladies.
'shit' he thinks. 'now I have to talk to her.' He rubs his neck subconsciously before opening his mouth to speak. "Uhm, Araknia."
"Yes?" He says, his voice is calm and smooth, for some reason he always speaks like this, almost like he's some sort of genius. Which, can be said as true. He's able to learn just about anything just by hearing about it.
