The next day, Pinapablo set a foot, The Andromeda, with his crew. The people threw pineapples and other goodies over the bow and poured coconut milk.

“Pinapablo, I believe that will no one will like the name Pinapablo,” said the King with undetectable mock sorrow in his voice. “You will be now called Orion!”

Pinapablo liked his new name, Orion, the name of a soldier of the stars.

“Now Orion, I don’t want to keep you waiting!”

As The Andromeda pulled away, he saw Pinaquadra waving at him and.... were those tears strolling down her face? Orion couldn’t focus on that at that moment, he needed to prepare for the people of Aquapecado.
When Orion got to Aquapecado, he was overjoyed. The King was having some issues with the queen, so he decided to have a concert for her. She had heard of Orion’s singing from King Pinaaqua, the brother to the queen.
Orion wanted to have a song about troubled love for this concert, so he decided to write one himself. He wanted to write one so badly all the years on his homeland, but he couldn’t get inspiration. Nothing happened there with a sick, dying king and people starving
There were so many islands like his homeland and were in worse shape.
He found Aquapecado inspiring and lively with people with exciting lives and wanted to be a part of it all. He wrote the song Love is a One Time Thing about two people that used to love each other, but now were not on good terms. They were put to these silly tests to see if the still loved each other, but all tests said they longer loved each other. The wife of the couple disagreed, that she always loved him.

After the concert,the queen was so understanding now- that she decided to put all of her and her husband’s problems behind them..
After the joy and celebration of Aquapecado, Orion’s boat set sail to the sister island, Aquapulpo.
Aquapulpo was in the worst shape than-of all of the islands. They-It was made up of starving people, with no homes for anybody, people were dying in the wide open of diseases unknown to man. The only thing that stood proud was the castle, with white flags standing tall and no dirt to be seen.

“How can a king just let its his people die?” Orion asked himself.

“Welcome to Aquapulpo Orion!” said the king.

The king was wearing glamorous robes woven with rubies and topazes.

“You will sing for us tomorrow, just for the family. But we have no room for you here, so you can find hospitality elsewhere.” The king explained, “Just don’t interact with the people, they are dangerous, that’s why they live in such ways.”

The people of Aquapulpo were dying and when they're all dead, who will he have to rule?

Orion asked around for a place to stay, but every place was full. Orion found a rock that looked comfy near the beach and took out his frying pan.
He sang the song that he had sung for the concert on Aquapecado, Love is a One Time Thing, and all of a sudden an octopus landed in his pan. The people stared at Orion with wide eyes and hunger. No one, except the royal fishermen, were allowed to fish for a pulpo.

“Do you want some?” asked Orion holding it out to them.

The people scrambled towards the frying pan.

“Wait!” said Orion. “We have to cook it first!”

The people were a little disappointed, but were patient with the stranger.


Orion started the fire and the people stood some feet away.

“You can come if you like,” said Orion. “It will make you warm.”

The people huddled around the fire while the pulpo turned a brown gold.


Orion sung Love Is a One Time Thing and the beach turned into a glamorous dining hall with velvet tablecloths, matching napkins and chairs. There were silver forks and spoons... more than you can count.
The people turned into suitable guests to this diner party, with beautiful dresses of ruby and baby blue and hair that looked like it was touched by the gods.
The men wore sharp three piece suits with greased back hair and shoes polished with great care.
The children were no longer dying! They played in their gowns and suits and they magically never got dirty.

“Everyone to the table before the pulpo gets cold!” said Orion merrily.

Everyone knew what he meant. The mirage was already fading with the pulpo.
The golden light was turning a dark blue and their fancy clothing was getting dirtier by the minute.
The people enjoyed the feast of pulpo and went back to their makeshift beds. Orion decided that he would not sing for the king of such an island, who would sacrifice his people for his own comfort.
Orion left the island early in the morning, so no one would have to know he was gone. Little did Orion know that the prisoners of The Dark Sky were waiting for him.

In the dark night Orion was sailing through the ocean. He was only steering with the stars, until he saw a fire.

“Did you have to set the stove on fire?!” asked one of the prisoners.

A skinny little lad was making grilled fish when the stove set on fire. They screamed for help, hoping maybe someone would hear them. Orion waved his lantern hoping they would see him. They did.
Orion zoomed across to the ship and rescued them from the flames while they grabbed their guns and rope.

“Hello there mates,” Orion said. “How did your ship set on fire?”

“You will leave the questions to me ‘mate’” said a bigger prisoner as soon he recognized the man.

“Dolphine, tie this man to the anchor.” He said to the skinny lad.

“But Sharke-!” Dolphine was cut off by a wave of Sharken’s who was the big man’s hand.

Orion was tied to the anchor at the front of the boat. The big man, Sharken, cut of the chain, lowered him into the water and snapped him out right before he hit the water.

“STOP!”said Dolphine, who had finally had enough.

“A true pirate never disobeys orders,” said Sharken with a clearly angry voice.

“Well, I’m not a real pirate and I think you have forgotten!” said Dolphine.

Dolphine was telling the truth, he was not a pirate, he was the captain of a cargo ship when they kidnapped him. He had a wife and two girls, who he hadn’t seen in at least five years. The guards thought he was one of the workers who swept below the ship below.
Sharken was so mad that his authority was threatened that he dropped Orion into the ocean. Orion tumbled into the water with a big SLAP and sunk like a rock. When he could not stay conscious, he was almost going to land on a sharp rock on the bottom---


Sharken took Dolphine under his armpits and held him over the water.

“If you want freedom you will receive fifteen whippings from Stingraygen,”
said Sharken, while Stingraygen stood smirking in the background.

“If you think Orion is the savior, then join him.”

“His name is Pinapablo,” said Dolphine.

Dolphine reached the water and did a perfect backstroke until Sharken threw a spare anchor on him. He tumbled and then he was gliding. He looked at his hands, which were not moving because they were flippers! His skin was smooth and gray and where a tussled beard was, there was a snout.
When he reached Orion, the water was red where the sharp rock had hit him and where the anchor hook had cut him badly across his stomach. Dolphine didn’t know what to do. He took Orion on his back and rushed to the top to find some help. He leaped only a few inches off the ground. Then, he tried again, gaining about two feet. Orion’s breathing was coming out only in puffs.

Dolphine jumped so high that they could no longer see the sun shining on the ocean.
Dolphine had jumped so high, he had jumped into the stars. They were among the constellations that were lost long
Dolphine was so brave that all of the grey colored sea animals. Another animal appeared that had jagged teeth and blood red gums, named sharks. Sharken’s soul was poured into these animals with the curse of no sleep and being the most feared animal in the ocean.
When Pinaquadra heard the news that Pinapablo was dead, she was outraged. She knew that her father was up to something and demanded that his servant tell her the truth. He told her about Pinapablo and what the dark blue liquid was. It was an immortality potion that the king had been drinking for about twenty years. He was planning for his daughter to marry and when she died-why will she die? he would rule again over the kingdom. He was never sick, it was just the side effects from the immortality potion.
She went to the potion maker and stole all of the potions, even though the old man objected.


“Be wise girl, they are very rare and hard to make!” the potion maker said.

She took the potions and tied them to a rock out in the ocean. She tied herself to the rock too but a dolphin swooped her away and jumped into the stars. Princess Pinaquadra was named Andromeda after Orion’s ship and was the only star from the island Pinaconserto to stay in the sky.

Even though Orion and Andromeda are on other sides of the universe, they still can talk. They have a green communicator that humans call The Northern Lights. Causing this beautiful show for people on earth, Orion and Andromeda can talk. Forever. Now that there song is ending you can look up into the stars and see a woman tied to a rock and if you look really look closely you can see a man with a king smile.....
