Mothers and Pups
You've been hearing about a pack whom always wandered, lost. They had walked these lands from afar from who knows where. You didn't know much about them other than they lived their lives wandering, but always close. Their leader served longer than other Alphas in the local packs of these lands. As impressive as it was, they were also known to be close to one another, like a family, never leaving each other. Rumor has it they stepped foot into your homelands.You wanted to go meet them. You wanted to go see if the legend was true. You...had questions. So you set off at a run through the trees and the undergrowth.
You nearly sprinted across the river, but you sank deeper misjudging it's depth. Trying to stay above the surface, you splash as much as you can but you grew tired by the second. Suddenly a dark figure looms over the surface and dove after you, grabbing you after a bout struggle. Your vision goes dark and body, limp.

You wake up after what seemed to be a day long slumber, but you were on the back of the river almost dried off - many thanks to the sun. You felt horrible fter almost drowning, you got yourself a headache, you almost drowned yourself you swine- WAIT. Who pulled me out? Did I trespass? You slowly twist around worried that you did a no-no. 5 wolves sat there waited patiently. The leading wolf was amber with beige bottoms. The second in line was apricot was a blue and yellow shine. The third looked like a bear, big and scary. The last two were black with beige/cream markings and a dark grey with serene ornate spots. None of them seemed upset, but had a rabbit carcass laid out behind them. It was a hu ting patrol. "I-I didn't mean to trespass!" You sputtered for more words but you began coughing up water.
The leader of the group only chuckled. "You should slow down near water, friend." He paused to let you recooperate. "We are the Long Rangers and this is not our home." You look back up with shock. These are the lost wanderers!? They saved me?? "So you've heard of us," Amusement glitter in his eyes. "I'm Kodiak and this is Ruben, Bear, Ripple, and Tyrion." He'd indicated each wolf with his Snout. You began, "So your the lost wanderers.." Kodiak shook his head. "We are the Long Rangers, not lost wanderers."
"So why are known as lost wanderers?" You ask abd awaited an official introduction on who they were...
"Long Rangers had no home. We always migrated from one place to another as far as the cold mountians or the hot, dry deserts. Us Long Rangers are known across the states and recognized for being in the wrong place at the right time. You proved that just now, along with some of and our stories. We save wolves, rescue them, or simply take them in. We grow and we shrink, but we always thrive as a close pack and family."
