We got married the day that the first parts arrived to build Piñata Central. Mother (my wife) stayed on the island for a whole year and our first child was born. We called him Stardos. When Stardos was 2 years old my wife had to go back to sea. Piñata Central had just installed the first Cannonata and there were requests for more piñata than ever before. | We got married the day that the first parts arrived to build Piñata Central.

My garden was already impressive and I could supply Piñata Central with really good piñata. With Mother gone I set about teaching little Stardos about piñata and making the best garden in Piñata Island history! | My garden was already impressive and I could supply Piñata Central with really good piñata.

In the old days I was an expert romance dancer. Mother was caught by surprise and my second daughter was born at sea. Mother named her after the migrating Storks that followed the ship. Little Storkos spent all her early years on the ships with Mother. She was taught to read by sailors and the comic books they collected. She grew up running around the decks pretending to have super powers. | In the old days I was an expert romance dancer. Mother was caught by surprise and my second daughter was born at sea.

In the old days the Piñata had to fetch their own eggs from Egg Mountain. Lots of eggs were broken before the parents could roll them home. Piñata Central needed more piñatas to fill all the party requests and all the gardens (even mine) couldn’t romance the piñatas fast enough. | In the old days the Piñata had to fetch their own eggs from Egg Mountain.

When Mother’s ship docked, Storkos came to the garden. She played and worked in the garden with Leafos and Stardos until one day, Storkos went missing. We called for her but she didn’t show up until two Bunnycombs had done their romance dance. Swooping down from Egg Mountain with her cloak flapping behind her, Storkos flew into the garden and gently dropped off the Bunnycomb egg safe and sound into the garden. | |||

Overnight the piñata romance dance problem was solved. Every piñata knew that its egg would be delivered safely. Storkos had become Piñata Island’s very own superhero. | Overnight the piñata romance dance problem was solved. Every piñata knew that its egg would be delivered safely.

I was lucky though. My old helper Lester showed up one day with an old map he said he’d found. The map showed a route over the sea to a little island where a wise man was supposed to live. Lester said that this man was the last known person to ever see a Dragonache and that he held the secrets to attracting one to a garden. | I was lucky though.

I immediately started planning a trip. Mother would captain the ship to take us to the old man’s island. Stardos was able to look after the garden with the help of Leafos. Storkos would keep an eye out for little Sidos until we returned. I was determined to prove once and for all that I was the greatest gardener Piñata Island had ever seen! | I immediately started planning a trip.

As we approached Mother noticed the tell tale signs of shallow rocks. She tried to navigate through them but a freak wave smashed the boat against a huge jagged boulder. I fell overboard and Mother, clinging to the boat, was swept back out to sea. I’m a tough old boot though and I made it to safety, stranded on the beach of the strange island. I was sure Mother would be fine, she really is an expert sailor! | As we approached Mother noticed the tell tale signs of shallow rocks.

Meanwhile back on Piñata Island things were taking a turn for the worse. Lester approached Stardos with an offer of help while I was away. Lester claimed he had made some new red and black sweets that were a short-cut to attracting piñata. He invited Stardos over to his lair in the jungle to try them for himself… | Meanwhile back on Piñata Island things were taking a turn for the worse.
