Gyrfalcon's Keep nine phantom dragons

Finally there was someone with a short and simple name. Considering the fact that almost every wolf Pump had met here had not only one, but two or three names, nickname and a family name that ran in great history of many generations, this was a very welcome change. The wolf-dog was a simple being and she enjoyed if the world was ran in simple terms.

"Pump," she replied, deciding not say her full name, which sounded silly and unnecessarily long. Her grandma had taught her many useful things, but she had had her quirks and had never revealed, why Pump was Pump or what exactly the name meant. As much as she knew - she had deserved to have it. Others in her pack hadn't been so lucky.

"Are you from around here? Or have traveled far and a lot?" she decided to turn to more casual subjects. Dwelling on philosophical things for too long was not very healthy, according to her.
