Plot
Wolves haven't been often seen in the Great North Woods for decades now, and the local government has finally decided that efforts should be made to reintroduce grey wolves in the area. To do so, local scientists and naturalists traveled west and north in order to procure wolves from areas where they are considered over-populated. Tranquilizing a number of wolves, they brought them back to Nature Centers across New England in order to give them health checks and needed shots before releasing them back into the wild. All reintroduced wolves are given ear-tags for visual identification, though also have microchips in case their ear-tags are lost.

This is the story of those wolves.

Location: Great North Woods, New Hampshire, United States


Our Territory
The area where the wolves are released, soon to become the pack's territory, is on mountainous land so there is very few flat areas. Near the top of the territory is the Rendezvous site, a flat piece of bare land surrounded by scrubby grass and trees that grow shorter due to altitude. To the east and south, the river begins to cut through the territory, a large waterfall right within the boarders. In the summer, the pool beneath the waterfall is a great place to swim, fish, and cool off for the wolves. The waterfall continues to a river. The entire territory is mostly woods of tall evergreen pine trees.

As the sound of a river bubbled softly in the distance, the noise of an all terrain vehicle broke the otherwise crisp and peaceful atmosphere. Two humans rode on the vehicle, one driving and the other riding on the small trailer towing a fair-sized wire cage. The two humans came to a spot in a very quiet area, the tall evergreen pines looming above them and allowing sunlight to dapple the snow and mud covered ground. "This is the spot, right Thom?" the man driving asked.

Thom, wearing a winter jacket and gloves to hold the beginning of spring chill back, jumped from the trailer and looked around with his hands on his hips. "Seem 'bout right, Calvin," he replied. "Glad we got here quickly too. One of the wolves is starting to wake."

The cargo in the back of the trailer were the limp forms of four wolves, all tranquilized for the journey up into the mountains from the Scientific Research Center mid-state. Though none were near conscious enough to get up or even open their eyes, the toes of a couple of them were beginning to twitch. "Yup, so let's get a move on, then," said Thom, and the two men unlatched and opened the wire cage, lifting one wolf out at a time and arranging them in the area so they had room to get up without tripping on each other. After surveying the four limp bodies before them, the men smiled and gave each other a hand-shake for a job well done.

"Good luck you mangy beasts," Thom said affectionately as he watched the four. "You guys are the start of something important, so start making babies and thriving!' And with that, he and his partner mounted up the ATV once more and drove off back toward the closest road several miles away.

Russet groaned softly, large paws scraping the ground as he tries to get up onto his legs, stumbling a bit... His head was swimming, his eyes having trouble focusing, and his muscles felt stiff. He stretched and yawned, trying to take in the new scents... nothing around him was familiar, and the last thing he remembered was wandering the flat-lands with his sister... a sudden pain, then feeling dizzy... then darkness... He only had a second to wonder if Titian had managed to get away after he'd fallen unconscious before he saw her lying nearby, as well as two other males he couldn't place... all of them were twitching occasionally, in various states of waking...

He eyed them suspiciously, still sniffing the air... it smelled cooler than he was used to, and the trees were more pungent... So much of it was unfamiliar, he was having a hard time taking everything in all at once... and the slight pounding in his head wasn't helping at all.

[LegionWolf]

A fairly large silver male lay still twenty feet away, his back paw twitching softly, his tongue lolled limply from his open jaws. He wasn't waking as much as the greyish brown, having been the last to be tranquilized before their journey with the humans.

Somewhere beside the silver, a larger bluish-grey male was beginning to awaken, his paws moving awkwardly to try and grip the earth beneath him. Bluetip felt like his brain was loose in his skill, as his mental commands to his body didn't seem to be working. Mouth feeling thick, he longed for a nice cool drink. What happened? Where was his pack? He could smell his brother near him, but couldn't see, but no one else he knew... where were they?

[Shaglan]

Russet glanced warily at the other males as he took a stumbling trot over to his sister... The grey-ish brown brute nosed at his smaller female twin lightly, hoping to help wake her. Seeing no reaction from her other than the occasional twitch, he sat on his haunches, carefully watching the other males. His amber eyes remained cool and calm... or as calm as they could be, what with the sudden unfamiliarity of his surroundings. Glancing at his sister, Titian, he saw that the twitches were getting more frequent... hopefully she would wake before the other males did.

Seeing one of the other brutes stirring into wakefulness, Russet remained perfectly still... No need to assault others in a strange land, much less those who appear to be in the same situation as he and his sibling were. Strangers in a strange land were potential friends... in his mind, survival was the main goal.

[LegionWolf]

Bluetip, quite tired of laying helplessly on the pine-needle strewn forest floor, made an attempt to stand. He managed to get all four large paws beneath him, though had barely raised his body off the ground before flopping over again. He sighed frustratedly through his nose and tried again, his legs shaking beneath him as he fought to keep balance. When he felt confident enough that he wouldn't fall again, the large male raised his head to stare at the male sitting by a still unconscious female. He stared, as if testing whether or not this other was a threat. Because it appeared the brown wolf was in better condition after waking than he, thus making him the stronger.

[Shaglan]

Russet levels his gaze at the brute who had struggled up onto his paws. The brown wolf showed no signs of aggression, merely watching him with silent curiosity. His eyes never left the other, save for a second when Titian gave a low whine, grumbling as she started to awaken. He was certain that she was experiencing the same stiff limbs and headache that he was still soldiering through... especially because she was being so vocal about it.

"Guuuuuugh... What hit me..?" She growled, trying to curl up, then stretch out, her eyes still closed, "And why didn't it finish the job? This kind of pain is just... cruel..."

Russet remained silent, still staring at the other male as his sister continued her mildly annoying lament for a moment or two, too out of it to get up just yet... She fell silent after he finally uttered two words in his deep baritone voice:

"Shush, Tish."
