Legends wrote:It was easy for the wolves of magic to hide away from the human eye. They had been doing it for years, and many were still getting away with it. It was only when a small group were found and caught that humans learned that there were wolves out there with magic at all. They kept the wolves for years, running tests on them and trying to figure out what kind of science could duplicate their magic. The wolves remained caged in a facility deep in the wooded mountain side, eagerly searching for the answer. Three generations of the strange wolves later, and they were still no closer to figuring out how to harness their magic. But they needed it. How the humans desperately needed to discover the key and be able to use it for themselves. The study failed, and they learned nothing.
And all the while their small city in the valley was haunted by dreams of the shadow wolves. A legendary creature that had plagued their nights for hundreds of years, the shadow wolves were such creatures that brought nightmares to all who lived in the city, leaving them unable to sleep and deeply afraid of the dark. It was only in the recent decade that what everyone thought was just a bad dream was an actual creature. The dark wolves had begun to break through the seal between our world and their own, and came out almost every night, only to drag a human back through with them before morning. They worked like an invasion on the mind, first seeking the humans out through their dreams, and then breaking the barrier and bringing them back across. Any who saw the wolves in their sleep knew their time was up. They may not have been chased down that night, but it was only a matter of time before they were taken. None that went through the tear ever came out. The magical wolves had known of their existence long before humans ever came and settled on this land, being the things the shadow wolves preyed on the most. Because of their magic, they stood a fighting chance, the same fighting chance the humans had wanted when they gathered them off the mountain for the study.
They released them back onto the mountain, leaving the magical wolves to the task of having to learn to live in the wild after their whole lives were spent sleeping on cement floors. Back in the wild with no fighting skill or learning, and once again the victims of the Shadow wolves, how would they survive?

2. Do not go off and start killing everyone.
3. No arguing out of ooc.
4. Use some form of ooc.
5. No chatspeak.
6. This isn’t really a pg-13 kind of thread, but I don’t want to see anything you’d feel queasy about showing to your siblings or something. Use time skips and whatnot.
7. If you are going to be away for a while, please tell us.
8. Don’t worry if I’m not on. You guys can totally roleplay while I’m sleeping =P

5. Magical wolves can only have one power.
6. Shadow wolves all have the power to read and control any mind that they break into.
7. As well as some bodily power, like control of exposed bones or something psychological.
Pack
1. The Alpha male has the last word. Speak out of rank to any of your betters and you had better hope that you are powerful enough to back it up.
2. If you are going to have a high position then you MUST have a very powerful magic! You don’t have to have a high rank to have very powerful magic, but it is much more likely.
3. You can only have ONE power. Sorry people. (this does not include flying if you have wings)
4. The alpha female is not always going to be the alpha male's mate. More like the one he thinks most able to help him lead the pack. In fact, the alpha male doesn't even have to choose an alpha fem, even if he does have a mate.
