I'm working just on my own here so if anyone happens to spot anything wrong in my writing, such as the story no longer makes sense or plot holes etc. please do speak up, also if you see grammatical errors or the likes id appreciate being told :3
Not having a PR is tough because no matter how much I PR I just think looks right, makes sense heh :3

'Lick. Lick.' I hear some licking and slobbering sounds, opening my eyes I see a big pink tongue licking my face. I snap back to reality, pushing up off the ground on my knees and looking around to find who the tongue belongs to.
In front of me is a dog type animal nearly 4 times larger than me covered in a coat of fire but he doesn't seem to be burning or in any pain nor do I for that matter. Looking at my hands all healed, placing them on his burning head feeling his fur, it feels warm but it isn't burning me.
'Woof. Hah. Hah. Woof' The panting dog barks happily at me from my patting, I smile at him.
>Okay. You?<
“Huh? Who's there?!” I call out, looking around trying to see or sense anyone around me. There is nothing there, just wind but no person or anything which could have spoken to me.
'Woof' The dog barks at me again causing me to look back at him, he tilts his head to the side
>Okay?<
“Ehh. Wait could it be? Is that you talking?”
>Shock. Why?<
“Um, not many dogs talk to people right? Or is that normal? I don't remember but for some reason I feel sure large flaming dogs don't normally talk.”
>Talk?< the flame dog tilts his head again seemingly like he is confused, I gaze back at him
>Sigh now I'm going crazy talking to dogs... what next. Oh Yuuka I miss you.<
>Yuuka. Who.<
“EHHHHHH! Eh, ummm” flabbergasted, words failing me, what's going on is this dog physic maybe?
>Psy. Lick?<
'Woof. Lick' He rises up to lick me again
“Heheh, aren't you a cute doggy, do you have a name?”
>Name? What?<
“Did your parents call you anything? Or friends? I mean what do people call you when they are talking to you?” I ask strumming my fingers on my chin, tilting my own head a bit confused at my own explanation.
>Name. No.<
“Oh sorry. Did you have anything to do with my wounds?”
>Lick. Good.<
I realise most of my body is covered in saliva, seems like this flame dog can heal injuries with its tongue or saliva, I think. I try to wrap my arms around his head to give him a face hug, he backs up a few steps.
“It's okay. Its just a hug” I say as I hold my arms wide, waiting for him to come closer. Slowly he moves one step closer, covering the large distance, lowering his head to my height and I wrap my arms around giving him a cuddle.

His soft fluffy fur feels so good. Without realising I'm rubbing my arms and face around on his fur.
>Hug. Good.<
>Where. Go?<
“Where am I going? I don't know. Where should I go? For now I'll call you Honoukaze”
>Honoukaze. Good.<
'Lick.'
Honoukaze lets out a roar 'ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOARRRR' breathing flames.
>I am Honoukaze. Mountain King.< I cover my ears as I feel the roar echoing around, the loud vibrations reverberating in my ear drums.
Whilst Honoukaze is showing off his manliness, I climb a tree looking around, wondering where we are. I see the setting sun, large mountains east and west, a grassy plain on the north and a dry barren on the south, I know that behind us is east as the sun rises their and I ran with the sun behind me all day therefore east is out of bounds. I don't want to deal with more mountains or the barren land because I haven't eaten and right now my best chance of getting food is with the grassy plains, Mama taught me how to find edible grasses, roots and the like.
I jump onto Honoukaze from the tree branch, landing on his wide back
>I wonder how I can get Honoukaze to come with me to the north grass plains.<
>Little one. Name?<
“Tsubasa”
>Go. We shall.<
“Yay” I cheer as I hug his back, his warmth seeping into my bones I slip into a comfortable sleep.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Feeling the breeze whirling around me, sitting up and rubbing the sleep out of my eyes, opening my eyes I see the grass lands surrounding us. Honoukaze is speeding running like a bullet train in a hurry, wait what's a bullet train? Getting back to the grass plains, I don't know where we are, I don't even know where home is, where am I going to go?
“Honoukaze, do you know about this area?”
>Grass. Trees.<
“No I mean are there any villages or towns or monster nests, landmark type stuff, any of those sorts of things in this area?”
>Village close. Labyrinth close. Tower close. Many humans far.<
“Have you met any of the humans of this area? Where do you live Honoukaze?” I ask puzzled.
>Labyrinth. Home. Humans angry. Tasty< as if to reinforce his point he gnashes his teeth a few times, if I could see I wouldn't be surprised if he was drooling.
“Wait Honoukaze if you eat humans, why didn't you try to eat me?”
>Human. Where?<
“Ummm... Honoukaze. When you look at me what do you see?”
>Child. Dragon.<
I really need to look into more about my parents race and myself but for now I need to figure out where I'm going or what I'm going to do with my life now.
Do I go to the town? Do I go with Honoukaze to the labyrinth? Or do I head towards the village? What is this tower Honoukaze speaks about? What will I do when I reach my destination, my chances of finding my home is pretty slim, I don't even know any features about my home. My head is starting to hurt, I think I'll sleep on this decision.
