 * One day, the zys wanted to have their own land of Zyaka, while the akas wanted to be together in peace and harmony.
 * The zys and akas found a battle called Cresamin, in which the zys were victorious.

 * There were only two remaining zys and akas, named Bara and Needul.
 * They named the ocean, along with subsequent lands, Zyaka, a mix of the creature zy and the creature aka.
