The story : Once upon a time , in a place known as Nootka Sound off the West Coast of Vancouver Island there appeared a young orca.
The people who frequented the waters of Nootka Sound got to know the young orca , as it always followed their boats and seemingly tried interacting with the people on the boats.
The people nicknamed the orca Luna and worried of why he was there , alone , without his pod.
Somehow , at sometime , Luna had been lost from his pod and now , for years Luna led a sole life in Nookta Sound among the many people in their boats.
For some time , the people as well as Luna all enjoyed each others company.
But that all stopped when the government stepped in and made it illegal to interact with the whale , claiming it was unhealthy for the orca...
Many people wanted to help the young orca and everytime they came up with a solution , their ideas were turned down.
Most people were worried for Lunas safety while others were frightened by him but some loved and cared for him , believed he was a supernatural soul and had befriended him for his own good.
But Lunas friends were always shunned and threatened of being arrested by the government for interacting with him.
No one ever wanted to see him be brought to captivity so many tried their hardest to come up with ideas to keep him safe.
Until one day , journalists Michael and Suzanne finally stepped in and came up with the idea that they believed would always keep Luna safe while he lived out his days in the waters of Nootka Sound.
They believed all Luna needed was companionship.
