Once upon a time there was a race of people with creatures bound inside their hearts. These creatures expressed the person's true self- be that self courageous or cowardly, gentle or barbaric- and the force of the host's will dictated their creature's strength. The people learned how to release their heart beasts- working and playing with them in their daily lives, even training the stronger ones to fight.
Although the people were small in number, their strange powers frightened their neighbors, and the surrounding peoples rose up against them, slaughtering many and driving the rest to the furthest, most inhospitable corners of the land.
The people became all but legend to the kingdom, and most who remained hid their heart beasts and intermingled with their conquerors. A few of the better fighters made their fortunes in the coliseums of the kingdom, but many did not even know their own heritage.
Our heroine is one such mix-breed- but she will not remain long in ignorance, for deep within her heart sleeps a dragon... and soon, it will waken.
