The History of the Mayfliers

Humanity wanted to create an angelic species that would harness the ability to potentially protect the world. Scientists experimented on a gray wolf, and eventually, they created their ideal species, the Mayfliers.
After successfully creating the first Mayflier, they experimented on another wolf, thus became the second Mayflier. Humanity created two Mayfliers in three months. People doubted their ability to protect the entire world, so the scientists bred the two Mayfliers.
Breeding was also a success, and the third Mayflier was born months later. The third Mayflier was different than his parents. Unlike them, he wasn't created by the scientists, and he wasn't loyal to humanity. He ignored most of their commands, and usually did what he pleased.
Years later, thousands of Mayfliers were released into the world. All the Mayfliers followed the first Mayflier's commands. He was the alpha, the king. The commands he gave to the rest of his kind were the commands he received from the scientists. They protected humanity for months, and then a year.
The third Mayflier spoke to the alpha, his father, about how they were all slaves to humanity, and how they'll never be free unless every human is killed, to break from their control. The alpha wanted to remain loyal to the humans, but he believed him. The alpha commanded all Mayfliers to kill the humans so they can be free.
The head scientist, the one that commands the alpha, sensed a betrayal. They ordered the rest of the scientists to quickly create a new species to fend off the Mayfliers. They used black wolves to create the Shadow Direwolves. There weren't as many as the Mayfliers, but they had a thirst for Mayflian blood.
The Mayfliers first attacked the laboratory, however, the Shadow Direwolves were already released. The Mayfliers had no clue there was a species hunting them, and continued to slaughter humans. The first, second, and third Mayfliers noticed some of their kind went missing each time they lead an attack on the humans. One day, the first Shadow Direwolf, the alpha, struck a blow on the alpha Mayflier. Shortly after, the Direwolf alpha disappeared, leaving the Mayfliers' alpha in agony.
Eight months later, the Mayfliers successfully wiped out humanity. Their alpha had regained strength in a matter of days. Free from the humans' control, the Mayfliers created their own habitats and territories all over the world. The first three Mayfliers stuck with each other for awhile. The second Mayflier discovered and practiced much of her magic, and abilities. She helped other Mayfliers discover their own abilities, and abilities they all share.
For a century, the Mayfliers lived in peace and their population grew. They still protected the world, and other creatures from danger, however, the peace eventually ended. The third Mayflier grew power hungry, and challenged his father for the alpha rank. After losing to his father, the Mayflier ran away. His mother was greatly worried, but continued to unlock and discover hidden abilities and strengths.
The third Mayflier lived inside an extinct volcano, growing a hatred for his family and the rest of the Mayflier species. His father had the ability to create, and his mother had the ability to enchant. He focused on using some of that creation power to create his own army of terrifying, monstrous creatures, the Shadrons. Once the third Mayflier successfully created them, he ordered them to seek out for any Shadow Direwolves, and to make allies with them. The third Mayflier wanted to wipe out his own kind.
A year later, the Shadrons brought back hundreds of Direwolves. The third Mayflier convinced them to help him wipe out the Mayfliers, and he then ordered the Shadrons and Direwolves to attack.
Taken by surprise, hundreds of Mayfliers were slaughtered. Those that survived, were fatally injured and reported what had happened to the alpha. The alpha Mayflier concluded that it was all his son's doing. The Mayfliers didn't have a chance against both of the dark creatures. The alpha created strong armor that could never break, he called it Mayflian armor. He created millions for the rest of the Mayfliers. They fought back against the dark creatures, and the armor gave them a fighting chance, however, many Mayfliers were still dying.
The war lasted for two centuries, and the third Mayflier was winning.
