Alrisha
Alpha Piscium, 113 Piscium
Just within the borders of Pisces, less than ten arc minutes from Cetus, lies Alpha Piscium or Alrisha. In mythology, Alrisha represented the place where a cord binding the two fishes of Pisces met. A complex and interesting place, Alrisha is not only a binary star system, but the primary star apparently has variations or markings of some kind on its surface.

Location of Alrisha
Alrisha, the 'Cord' that binds together the two fishes of Pisces, falls close to the borders of Cetus, the Whale.
