Let me introduce you to the lost world of Kanari. A world full of myths about forgotten wars and races and a legendary sword. Dragons and magic once ruled the land, but with time they vanished. Left were only humans and some Leavers and Wavers, creatures living in the woods and oceans. The humans thought they were the strongest living creatures, and splitted the land into several countries. The Leavers and Wavers had no other chance as to return to their lands of origin.
The story I want to tell takes place in the time of Re-appear. When a glimpse of magic laid over the land and dragonewts, harbinger of the dragons have been seen again. And old legends going from ear to ear over the land, about "The one sword", held by the saviour who will bring the land back together.
In this time the young dragonewt Caren traveled around the world, in order to find out about her forgotten past. The only clue, an old letter to a lord, who died hundreds of years ago. Caren had been alone most of her life, but when she entered the little, music-filled, tavern her eyes catched a brief sign of the only girl in there, Mary.
Who does not dislike Caren, as all other humans do. Dragonewts are not happily welcomed by humans, because they fear the dragons to return.
Mary sees in Caren her chance to escape from the town and is sure to have found a familiar soul, because she is feared by humans as well, due to her ability to use magic.
It is her hope to find her own destiny somewhere out there in the world together with Caren.
