The Adventures of Ptero Pirates - Chef Haley
On the distant planet of Birdstar, there is a famous pirate crew called Ptero Pirates, led by the golden sun parrot Snatch, sailing on their ship across the azure sea. The navigator Dodo is a gray parrot, who stands on the high mast, and sees an unusual flash of light from the corner of an island in the distance. He tells Barbarossa, the new Amazon parrot in the crew, to fly over and check it out. Barbarossa finds a big silver cage, with a blue macaw inside. And the flash that Dodo saw was from the sun reflecting on the silver cage. Barbarossa cautiously approaches the cage, and sees that the caged parrot is barely alive. He tries to unlock the cage several times, but fails, and has to find someone to help.
The blue macaw in the cage is named Haley, a chef, who offended the lord of the island he lived on by resisting his exploitation of the commoners. To escape the pursuit, he hid in this ancestral cage. Once the cage is locked, no one can open it, and the danger outside can’t harm the life inside. So the lord’s men simply threw Haley and the cage away on a deserted island to die. Barbarossa decides to take the cage back to the ship first, and let the captain and Dodo figure out a way.
This silver cage is not an ordinary cage, it was made by a legendary Birdstar blacksmith, who used his life’s blood and wisdom, and mixed the most precious metals on Birdstar, forming a unique alloy, both strong and beautiful. The surface of the cage is smooth as a mirror, reflecting the rainbow light of the sun, like a bright star in the sky. The shape of the cage is also very exquisite, each pillar is carved with the stories and legends of the pirates, as if telling the history and culture of Birdstar.
The inside of the cage is empty, except for some torn pieces of paper, nothing else. These pieces of paper belonged to an old notebook, which recorded the secrets and mysteries of Birdstar, but was torn apart by the lord, as a punishment for Haley. Haley is a smart and curious bird, he likes to read and learn, he found this notebook, and tried to solve its puzzles. He didn’t know that this notebook was the blacksmith’s legacy, containing his last wish and testament, and also the key to open the silver cage. Only after understanding the hints in the notebook can the lock on it be opened, and the energy hidden in the cage be released.
Haley didn’t give up looking for answers when he was trapped in the cage, he used his claws and beak to slowly unfold the pieces of paper, trying to remember the words on them, and piece together the complete content. He found some key clues, such as the blacksmith’s name Uuball, the composition of the silver alloy, and some mathematical and physical formulas. He also found some strange symbols, like some older words or patterns, he didn’t know their meanings, but intuitively thought they must be related to the secret of the cage.
When Ptero Pirates came to the island, they were also attracted by the light of the cage, they thought this cage must have something special, so they took it back to their ship, and asked Haley to explain. Haley showed them his findings and his guesses. He thought that Uuball, when making this cage, not only wanted to show his superb skills, but also wanted to convey a message. He wanted the birds on Birdstar to know that their planet was not isolated, but connected and influenced by other planets. He used the silver alloy to symbolize the glory and uniqueness of Birdstar, but also used the flash to remind the birds that their planet was alive, and needed to be protected and respected. He used the pirate stories to express his adventure and freedom, but also used the lock to imply his plight and regret. He used the notebook to record his knowledge and wisdom, and also as a test for the later generations and inheritors. The blacksmith Uuball hoped that one day there would be a smart bird who could read his notebook, open this exquisite cage, and continue his dream and mission.
Haley told the Ptero Pirates’ mates that he believed he had found a way to open the cage, but he needed their help, because this method required not only wisdom, but also courage and love. He said they had to take the cage to the highest point of Birdstar, which was the peak of Birdstar, where the blacksmith Uuball’s hometown and grave were. There, they had to use the formulas in the book, calculate the positions and distances of Birdstar and other planets, and use symbols to represent them. Then, they had to use these symbols, in a certain order, to form a shape, and carve it on the lock of the cage. This shape was the blacksmith’s wish and testament, and also the key to release the energy in the cage.
To open the cage and rescue the imprisoned Haley, Ptero Pirates reached the peak of Birdstar, and followed Haley’s instructions to open this amazing cage. Haley finally became free, and deeply thanked every member of Ptero Pirates, felt their love, and decided to join the Ptero Pirates family! Since then, the azure sea has one more clanging pirate chef Haley.
