Lupine-Escorted Lucal

Lore
The lovely traveler Lucal journeyed far and wide, unimpeded by danger of any sort as her loyal lupine companion would protect her without fail should bandits or monsters attack. Oddly enough, though she assumed it was her father as it had been by her side for as long as she could remember, she was not wholly positive of the beast's identity.
