Five thousand years ago, the ancient, humanoid patriarch, Zembaku, married Zuhura, the nymph of planet Dubhe and made her the great matriarch of all humanoids in the Ursa Universe, including brothers Norcemo and Vatet Rho. 

Shortly after Zembaku’s marriage to Zuhura, he began a series of liaisons with mortal women all over his favorite planet, earth, which resulted in the creation of second-generation half-humanoids. Finally, he fell in love with his beloved earthly liaison, Queen Abena, leader of a small Akan village in Northern Ghana. 

The mighty Ashanti Empire had just conquered Queen Abena’s village looking to expand their empire by bringing northern territories under the Ashanti influence and moving them south toward the coast. But Zembaku knew moving her village south to Kumasi, along the Gold Coast, would risk leading them directly into disaster. So he encouraged the queen not to go south but to take her people north across the Sahel Desert into Mali, West Africa. 

After taking Zembaku’s advice, Queen Abena led her village up the Niger River north to Mali, where they thrived under the leadership of Mansa Musa, a devout Muslim who could read and write Arabic. He attempted to make Islam the faith of the nobility, but Queen Abena protested, so he kept to the imperial tradition of not forcing it on the public. However, he soon became interested in the scholarly city of Timbuktu, where he transformed Sankore from an informal school into an outstanding Islamic university that he peaceably annexed to the Mali Empire. As a result, Queen Abena and her people became highly educated and part of the Mali Empire. 

Today, the queen’s half-humanoid descendants have migrated worldwide, unaware of their superpowers. Finally, Emperor Norcemo comes to a low-income area in Oakland, CA, to seek out half-humanoids not living up to their potential. He teaches them how to use their untapped powers to save themselves and their planet.

Agent Eris, named after a tiny planet in the Ursa Galaxy, is a beautiful, compassionate, caring, and competitive humanoid from the planet Xiratha.  What is most unusual about Eris are her brilliant green eyes that glow when she uses her X-ray vision. In addition, Eris can speak any language she hears and uses her powers to heal and see the future. After training in intergalactic combat, she is armed with highly evolved weapons and sent to earth on a mission to protect the humans from an attack by the Dark Chis. After arriving on the planet, Eris becomes the love interest of Dr. Derek Jones, a brilliant brain surgeon, while searching for the alien creatures.
