Fables of Journey to the west

Chapter 1: Welcome, Stone Monkey!

Flower fruit mountain was one of the most magical places in the mortal realm. You could find many magical and mythical creatures, some well known throughout the world, some never seen before and of course the less magical ones with their own charm, but we're getting off track.

Now, if you look to the top of the mountain you'll find a rock. This rock is special you know? It's been nourished by the heaven and earth, the sun and the moon and other sources we may never know about. It's a magical and healthy rock.

The rock cracks to reveal another baby rock. As time moves on the stone begins to take shape and soon a monkey appears in its place.

Meanwhile in heaven a pair of golden beams shoot up, disturbing the jade emperor, the ruler of heaven, himself. Concerned, he sent two deities to check up on the situation, only to find a monkey with glowing yellow eyes, born from the stone on top of flower fruit mountain. Seeing as it's just a monkey, and a new born one at that, being the benevolent being he is, the jade emperor let it be.

Back on flower fruit mountain, the stone monkey started exploring they're surroundings. Though while exploring one wrong step is taken, sending them tumbling down the mountain. Once reaching a considerable distance, the stone monkey grew unconscious due to the wounds they gained along the way.
----------
On a flower fruit mountain there are many fantastical creatures, and one them, though not mythical, was a troop of monkeys. These monkeys tended to work together to survive, for while flower fruit mountain had its magic it didn't come without its dangers. Tasks were often divided and shared among them to minimise danger.

One such group was sent to gather food. Going near a peach tree to pluck some of it's fruits, they found a mysterious monkey near it. They'd never seen this monkey before,

"I don't think this one is from our troop." one of them said.

"Yeah I don't recognise them either. Looks like they had quite a tumble." another monkey spoke, observing the stranger.

"Let's get what we came for, they're troop will care of them."

"We can't just leave them here! They are hurt."

"And what if they're trouble?"

"And what if some dangerous creature comes along?!"

"How about we take them to our troop, help them heal and then take them to the elders, they'll know what to do." said the third one calmly, trying to diffuse the situation.

Agreeing with the third monkey, they immediately took the mysterious monkey to their troop to tend to they're injuries and of course, after they were relatively healthy, they were taken to one of the elders, the oldest monkeys of the troop, to decide they're fate.
----------
The stone monkey stirred and woke up to find himself surrounded by a couple of monkeys, one of them, who looked older than the rest, finally asked "Stranger, where do you come from? Where is your troop?".

The stone monkey, after some contemplation, pointed to the top of flower fruit mountain.

This confirmed the elders suspicions, that the monkey was born from the stone on top of the mountain, which meant, "You don't have a troop, do you?" the elder spoke. The stone monkey shook their head.

"Well, would you like to join this troop?" the elder asked, though he had a feeling of what would be the stone monkey's answer. The stone monkey looked around and after some consideration, they nodded.

"Then it's settled, the stone monkey shall be welcomed into our troop and treated as one of our own, regardless of who they are or where they come from." the elder declared.

"Welcome to flower fruit mountain, little one."
