Catagonia


I have several stories in the works. Catagonia is about a planet and several races of cat 'people'. I've drawn up a map of this world, created societies, different types of cat creatures, etc. Here is Catagonia's Lore, or 'Genesis' so to speak.

Catagonia Lore

     In the beginning there was nothing but darkness, and she was known as Pantera. She roamed across the Universe in search of another. She knew no fear, yet she ached inside, with a gnawing hunger, to be filled with love. As she traversed the skies, her need filled her with pain until her eyes overflowed with tears. Each tear that fell left its glittering reflection across the dark expanse. Bits and pieces of her inner light reflected across the Universe until a bright eye caught a glimpse of her.

     His fiery mane flared. His heat hissed across the darkness as he expanded his light for her recognition. Pantera's ears lay back at the sound. She stood still. Looking, listening. Another hiss, "I am Leo! Hear me roar!". Leo flared his mane once more, and Pantera leaped towards his light. She ran circles around him as he spun about to keep her in his sight. With each tear of joy that fell from Pantera's eyes, Leo's glaring heat singed them into the now patterned skies.

     As Dark chases Light, the energy of their love creates life in the Universe. Before long Pantera discovers she is not only filled with love, but also with her first litter. She grew heavy with their life, and she went in search for a place to deliver them safely. Her full belly dragged across the sky, leaving a lactating trail behind her, now known as the Cremora Galaxy. And her children's birthing place was called Catagonia.
 
Question: Does this sound hokey? Too ridiculous? Corny? The story isn't like the above. It is a story of intrigue, but I do have some rather 'corny' names for characters and places.

no no no the names could perhaps do with being more created they seem like they have been used loads of time before but that what you have wrote just makes me want to read more and more. How far is your story and can i read and excerpt?

Agree. My main gripe is names. Style is ok, story as a whole is ok. Work on the names and you will have a wonderful story at the end of it.
