Massive clouds of gas and dust formed the wondrous heavenly body named Planocia. Material from the universe settled on the newborn star since it drifted through the galaxy, far, far away, beyond the reach of time.

Long before the gods emerged, the land and sea were one. The forest spirits were the first beings to appear from the trees on Planocia. Soon after, water spirits materialized. The forest and ocean became two halves of a whole.

Over the long term, the planet became a sanctuary for mythical creatures - birds with the brightest colours and astonishing animals. A tropical paradise with extensive emerald green, lush forests, sapphire blue oceans, and towering mountains.

Nowadays, the two territories in this world, are each ruled by a god or goddess. And, even in this paradise, there is rivalry among the sovereigns. Forato, the god of the forests, aspires to gain complete control. He believes it is his birthright and duty to restore the long-lost balance between the land and the sea. His limbs are robust, long, and powerful, like ancient tree roots in the soil. He controls the plant life in the forest and can make himself invisible. Yet, his powers are worthless underwater, and he devises a plan.

Niphona, the goddess of the ocean on Planocia, rides the waves of the dark blue waters on her majestic friend Buorno. She sits on his back while he flaps his enormous wings to stay above the sea, his hoofs barely touching the water. His horns are thick and tall. Small waterspouts spume from his nose. The force of Buorno is significant.

Niphona's divine powers are strong. Her vigorous sea creatures have supernatural powers to fight Forato's beasts. They stand on the brink of a mighty clash.

Niphona is about to sabotage Forato’s plans.
