For centuries, the wolves lived in peace. There were eight packs, each with their own power over an element. To keep the peace, the Alpha pairs of each pack gathered, and appointed one strong and mighty wolf to be the High Alpha, reigning over all the other packs. This wolf took the strongest from each pack and formed his own pack, called the High Alpha Pack. The High Alpha was granted two new powers in addition to his original power, through a very hard and painful method. When he died, a new High Alpha was chosen, and also granted two new powers. This system continued, and it worked well for a while. That is, until about fifty years ago…

A wolf was born in the High Alpha Pack with strange powers. He was named Shadow, after the element he controlled. His ambition was great, and he wanted nothing more than to rule as the High Alpha. He was well on his way to reach his goal, and once he was High Alpha, he was planning to bring the packs together so that he could take control over all of Sorika, ruling as a harsh dictator.

But he was found out. The current High Alpha and Shadow locked in a furious battle, in which the High Alpha won. He banished Shadow from the pack, but before he left, he swore he would one day rule the land. He found a mate and his offspring shared his powers. Thus the Shadow Pack was born, and they grew in number as more wolves with Shadow Powers were found from distant lands. Shadow ruled them until he died, and when that happened, another wolf took over. The Shadow Pack began attacking the other packs, taking them down one by one...
