A Mermaid Prince and A Warrior King

Welcome to Flower Fruit Mountain

Waves crashed gently on shore has Macaque leans against a rock with a dizi in hand. Melodious music can be heard across the beach has he played. Once he stopped, he sighed in dismay has he looks up to stare at the sea. His face contorted to sadness and worry.

It had been two weeks the king had seen Wukong, his dearest prince, his beautiful gem. He had a nagging feeling that something happened to the golden furred mer-monkey and he couldn't help but be worried. He was tempted to take a ship and search for him but alas, what could a demon from the surface do against what lies beneath the sea?

He sighed again and held up his necklace in his hand and stare at it with longing and concern.

'Where could he be?'

[...]

Wukong along with his brothers and Yutu, follow the sharks has they lead them towards a beautiful island.

"This is the place."

"Ya sure?"

Pigsy raised a brow skeptically at the island. They hid behind a couple of rocks, not too far from the shoreline. One of the sharks huffed.

"Of course I am, porky."

An angry tic mark pulsed on the mer-pig's temple has he glared at the shark. "What was that, you punk?" Sandy had to hold back the pig hybrid some jumping the shark.

The shark snorted and both sharks began to leave but not before turning back to them with sharp grins. "Have fun, sea prince." One of the sharks said then they disappeared into the water.

Wukong smiled has he eyes the island with wonder and amazement. He turns to the others with a huge smile. "Come on, let's go!" He began to swim towards the island.

"Wukong wait!"

They followed the excited sea monkey towards a cluster of rocks near the shoreline. Wukong swam closer towards the shallow end and took a deep breath and exhaled. He closed his eyes and a golden light enveloped his entire being and soon the light faded. He opened his eyes and looked down with a radiant smile to see two legs.

Legs.

He still couldn't believe it.

He stares at them with amazement sparkling in his eyes. He lifted one up in the air and stared at it and laughed in amazement has he wiggled his toes. Sandy and Bai Longma also stared at them with amazement while Pigsy had a slight horrified expression.

"Legs. You got legs, boss!"

"Of course he does Pigsy, he just changed his tail to surface-dweller legs."

"I know that Sandy, but it doesn't help that he got them by trading his powers to the sea witch!!"

Pigsy exclaimed and Sandy rubbed the back of his sheepishly. "I knew that."

"And don't forget Wukong has to make the king fall in love with him and he's gotta kiss him!" Yutu reminded them while on the background, Bai Longma did the expression of a child when they saw something gross and playfully looked repulsed has he stick his tongue out.

While in the background Wukong shakily stood up with the help the rock. His legs were shaking due to still being new to it but thanks to the lessons his mother gave him before leaving, he managed to stand up and walk a bit.

"And he's only got three days!"

That was when he lost his balance and stumbled backwards then fell down to the water, making a big splash that soaked Yutu and Mo. They turned towards their fallen brother when he yelped and looked behind him and saw a long golden furred tail just like Macaque's.
