Chapter 3.

A mountain of flowers and fruit.Wukong made the tea. Liuer reported."What happened?" asked Liuer.''I found you dead. In the darkest part of the forest," replied Wukong.''That's all I know. You know what I'm talking about..'' he glared at the king. ''How did I come back to life?''"Why don't you tell me why you were dead?" said the king."Don't ignore my question," said an annoyed Liuer."Agreed, but question for question." Wukong looked up with a raised eyebrow. "I thought you left me"''No... yhh.. okay.. I was preparing everything for your return, but something bad was happening in the forest. The monkeys told me that some creature was sucking energy from the very part of the forest where we were. So I figured I'd go..."You should wait for me," the king interjected.''Let me finish, I know.. back to the story. I went there the forest looked completely deserted. The forest in that part was emitting an ominous energy...'' he sipped his tea.''Yeah, I felt it too..''''no rays of light reached there and there were also whispers. Evoking something. I didn't understand it. I wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible, but then someone, or rather something, grabbed me. It fell to the ground. I hit the ground hard with my head. The world began to spin. This thing began to pull me deeper into the forest. I tried to stop it somehow, but it was very strange. It was like I was fighting the air. I tried to summon the shadows, but failed. My magic didn't work at that point. I felt like I was losing less of it every moment. I was unable to do anything. After that, it all happened so fast. This thing let me go. I got up. I looked around and there was nothing. I wanted to get out of there as soon as possible. Whispers grew louder and began calling my name. A blue mist appeared. Frost covered everything around me. I felt that someone or something was watching me closely. I didn't know what to expect. The funniest thing was that later a man emerged from the shadows. At least that's what I thought then. He started to laugh. But it wasn't very pleasant. His horrible laugh echoed around the place. He started telling a story about something. I wasn't listening to it. I wanted to get out of there as soon as possible. This man blocked my way, but then he grabbed me by the throat and I couldn't breathe. I felt him lift me up. He said something that his mistress would be very pleased and that he had a plan for me. He threw me to the ground. I was able to breathe, but not for long because the creature started attacking me. I resisted the attacks for the first time. I had hopes that I would get out of there yet, but the scales of victory were on the side of this creature. I was lying on the ground. The creature stood before me and spoke again about its mistress, but I could not understand it. And then the whispering stopped. It got dark and all I felt was pain and cold." The warrior finished telling the story and looked at the king, who was devastated by the whole story.''I.. if I had come sooner..''"Wukong it's not your fault"''yes it is. I could have protected you. I should protect you""It happened as it happened, now tell me how you resurrected me""I... when I found you... I made a deal to bring you back to life"''Contract? With whom?''"I don't know who it was or what it was, but it looked like a ghost and apparently had your soul..."''What did they want in return?''''I do not know this yet. She wanted a favor...''''Wukong?! You can not do this like that? Do you know how stupid that was?! And above all, dangerous!"''I know, but at the time I was acting under the influence of emotions. You lay dead.. I couldn't leave you.. I had to bring you back somehow.. I can't imagine life without you.. I couldn't lose you.. moon..'' Tears ran down the king's cheeks. The warrior sighed. He brought the king closer. He looked him straight in the eyes and said, "I couldn't live without you either, my sun." The king kissed the warrior's head. The king sat down next to Liuer."Then it looks like it was all intentional..." said the warrior.''Wukong think. They dragged me into this place to kill me and have a bargaining chip over you.""Yes," said the king. ''I hadn't thought of that before''"And now we have some strange creature on our mind"''I have. I made a deal with this thing."''And what about this? this was about my life, so i'm involved too. Besides, don't even think that you'll be keeping any secrets from me. You understand?''"Yes," answered the king.

They didn't know how their life is going to change.
