Somewhere off in a lone village, there lives quite a mysterious race. Known as the Zayrena, they have been seen by few, for not many are still around. Zayre Village and its people were long ago endowed with a strange magic, though the source still remains unknown. As one of the few places that still holds the power of good magic, it was attacked many times by the creatures of Amett, leaving very few survivors.
The Zayrena, because they are affected by the magic, have some strange abilities. First of all, they all have the power to use magic from the time they are born, though few ever learn how to, and each can only learn so many spells.
Probably the most peculiar fact about the race is what happens when they are born. The instant a baby Zayrena is born, at the exact same time another magical creature, an animal of course, is born as well. When the two are born, they are bonded with each other and become partners for life. However, rarely is the Zayrena's partner born in the same village, or anywhere near. When the Zayrena is old enough to travel alone, he or she goes on a journey to find that partner, if they haven't already met. Together, the two share their magic power, which can only be used when they are with each other.
If the Zayrena and his or her partner do not meet soon enough, or if they are separated for much too long, then their magic power begins to weaken and shift. Rather than being good magic, it slowly changes to dark, whilst making the two of them turn evil at the same time...
The Zayrena are often thought not to exist, as a few other races are. This is mainly because other races just don't believe in the stories about them, and many doubt that good magic even still exists in Amaru.
The Zayrena are often born with 'different' colored hair and eyes than any normal person would be, and it's thought that this is another effect of the magic that lingers in the area. Purple, blue, and pink hair or eye colors are considered perfectly normal in Zayre Village. Their clothing is somewhat different as well, but that's by their choice. They'll wear anything from dresses(girls only, of course) to t-shirts and shorts, and their clothing is always brightly colored. The Zayrena differ from the other races by their hair and eye color, and the fact that they have pointed ears and dragon-like tails.
