PANTERINA
SCI-FI — Work in Progress
Welcome to the world of Panterina, a thrilling sci-fi story set on a planet much like Heart — but untouched by the dark forces known as the Atroxmen. Unlike Heart, this planet thrives in peace, guided by cutting-edge technology, controlled population growth, immortality, and a deep respect for nature.
The Setting
The Royal Army stands as the planet’s shield, locked in a relentless battle with the Atroxmen’s army, who are desperate to steal the planet’s advanced technology and secrets. These epic battles take place on the planet’s moon, keeping the home world safe and pristine.
Life Between Battles
Between conflicts, the main characters live freely in a society without judgment, surrounded by breathtaking, unspoiled natural beauty. Their idyllic lives reflect a rare harmony that seems unbreakable.
The Conflict
But this peace is fragile. For the first time ever, the Atroxmen succeed in infiltrating the planet, sending their fierce and just warrior queen — Panterina — to the planet Heart, setting the stage for a dramatic clash of worlds.
MAFFILU-WORK IN PROGRESS
After being lost on Planet Heart for seven lifetimes, Maffilu has one last chance to return to her native world — Flore Ferox, the land of flowers — to prevent the universe from losing all its flowers and facing catastrophic consequences. As the sole Princess Operator, she must find a way back, or all the flowers in the universe will perish.
To return to Flore Ferox, Maffilu must first recover the Precious Light she lost long ago. Only then can she re-enter her world.
Accompanied by her two loyal talking dog companions, she embarks on twelve adventures — sparked by the sudden visit of her counselor in her Los Angeles apartment, where she leads an ordinary life, unaware of her true identity and mission.
Her journey begins in the Queendom of the Bees, where she receives three magical powers to aid her quest for the Precious Light and to see beyond appearances.
Will Maffilu succeed in returning to Flore Ferox and saving the universe from the extinction of flowers?
