Sun Wukong... oh wait. You're not Wukong

Chapter 3: Sun Wukong

Since I keep mentioning Wukong. I will now tell his tale of how we met... I keep talking about it in real life so this should help make that not be as much of a thing.

I was five years old and in kindergarten. I was in the top bunk of a bunk bed that I was sharing with my sister. She was in her last year of middle school. I had just gotten back to my home from school. I lay down in hopes of having a good dream.

Once I had drifted to sleep. I opened my eyes for the first time as I slept I saw my body. Sleeping as I got dragged westward. I crossed the pacific ocean. I thought I was going to the island I always visited. But I turn slightly north. I crossed deep into the mainland.

As I past land and I was in a plane of grass. There was only one house there. The front was facing west. I reached the front of it. and turn to it. farther west in the distance was a mountain range. That made me feel better at the time. I had never been to a place so vast. Coming from the rocky mountains. The mountain range made me feel at home. Despite being somewhere strange.

Looking back at the building I walk in. a man is talking to himself in a kitchen. A tray of food is on the table. I sneak over to the tray.

As he grumbles, "why do we have to feed him? he should be starved. He never accepts it anyway so there isn't much of a point."

I had just reached it. I was shorter than the table. I pick up the tray thinking: this is horrible. Everyone needs to eat. This food looks so good. I'm hungry. I won't let that other person go hungry either. I walk to where I feel the energy of another person coming from.

I set the tray down on the ground. And try to open the door. it swings out. I pick up the food. And go down a flight of narrow steps.

As I reach the bottom a dark figure moves toward me. Hitting something that was keeping him back. With him clawing at the air. I thought: ooo he must be a criminal or a demon. That protective circle in place must be keeping him from hurting him.

I was startled by him jumping out at me like that. As I say, "is that any way to treat someone here to give you food to eat? I guess you don't want to eat this then."

He stops looking at me a little beside himself with confusion. It was dark in the room I couldn't see him that well. That or he was so black that I couldn't tell what his face looked like. He also seemed fuzzy. Ether I wasn't able to see him well. Or he was a very fluffy demon.

He was still looking at me with a contemplative look. My stomach growled at me. I asked him, "can I have some of your food if you aren't going to eat it?"

He tilted his head. His expression changed to confusion again. He says, "sure kid... go ahead."

I sit down and start eating in front of him. it tastes really good. After a few bits.

He asks, "so why did they send a hungry kid to feed me?"

I answered, "hmm they didn't. I just found my way here. I get summoned to places in my dreams to fulfill a task or something from someone. First time in this land though. I have no idea what they want me to do with you though. Someone was complaining about the fact they had to feed you upstairs. I figured you would want something to eat. Do you want the rest of this by the way?"

He asked, "don't you get fed by your family?"

I said starting to feel full, "not really. Why?"

He asked, "why not run away then? since they don't care enough to feed you."
