A king should have a good name, a loving queen and a semi perfect life, though that wasn't the case for Sun Wukong..
A general should be highly respected, instead of being looked down upon and underestimated, so Macaque feels like he should prove hi...
The meeting wrapped up around dusk, Wukong showed the brothers off before storming into the gardens to talk to Macaque.
"What the hell Macaque?!" The monkey king hissed, grabbing the taller monkey by the collar, pulling him down to be at eye level.
"Pardon?" Macaque said stiffly. "You know what I'm talking about!" Wukong hissed, lashing his ginger tail. Macaque thought for a second, before his expression turned sour and he pinned his ears back in anger. "Well?! Was it a fucking display of dominance?! Was it for shits and giggles?! What was it?! WHAT?!" Wukong snapped, claws poking Macaques neck, drawing blood.
"I was defending myself and you, no king should want to be know for having a weak general, sir." Macaque said, wincing slightly at the pain in his neck. Wukong was taken aback. "Pfft-! Defending me? Ha! I don't need to be defended by you of all people, you bloody people pleaser.." Wukong scoffed, letting go of Macaque.
"I'm sorry sir. I will not act out of turn again, only with orders, sir." Macaque bowed, blood dripping down his neck. Wukong shuddered. "I..ugh.. follow me.." Wukong grabbed his hand softly, walking inside the palace with a confused Macaque in hand. He dragged Macaque towards a open room, white curtains hung up around a window, vines with little baskets of herbs were tied to the hanging vines.
Wukong set Macaque down on a soft bed like hammock, walking over to the hanging herbs. Violet, deep blue, and white flowers hung on some of the vines. Macaque was caught off guard by a sudden sting of pain on his neck. Wukong was pressing a white cloth to his neck, it was soaked with water and poorly wrung out. Wukong pulled the cloth off and put a soft spongey feeling thing on his neck.
Macaque shuffled, earning a huff from Wukong. "Hold still!" He hissed, putting an arm over Macaque's lap, resting it on the bed like hammock, pinning Macaque in between him and the hammock. Macaque was blushing slightly, it was barely noticeable. Wukong stopped with the spongey like cloth, wrapping a soft bandage around his neck.
Wukong looked Macaque in the eyes, a silence was shared between the two. Wukong was like that for about a minute before he snapped out of his dazed trance. "T-there.." He said, slightly blushing at what he had done. Tch.
" W-why thank you..you're majesty." Macaque said softly. "M-mhm." Wukong said, taking Macaque by the hand, helping him off the bed.
Macaque lifted off the bed, sighing as he walked out the door. " I wasn't doing it to protect me." He said, catching Wukong off guard. " I was doing it so you wouldn't be seen as a king with a worthless general, I must be off now." Macaque said, walking out to the courtyard to train.
Wukong stood in the room by himself, thinking about what he had said. Wukong brushed this off as he walked to the courtyard to watch training.
Red slammed her sword down onto the staff part of Gibbon's spear. Gibbon swung her leg at Red, she reacted fast, dropping her sword and catching her foot. "Fuck you!" Gibbon yelled as Red brought her leg over her head and threw her on the ground behind her.
Red picked her sword up quickly, slashing at Gibbon, who had stood up and was in a fighting pose. Gibbon blocked her hit, thwacking Red on the side of her head with the blunt end of her spear.
Red stumbled backwards, tripping over her bent tail and landing on her back. Gibbon quickly pointed her spear at the simian on the ground, grinning.
"Well done, your positions could have been better." Macaque said the shadows. "Thank you~" Gibbon purred in admiration. " You just caught me off guard! I could've beaten you black and blue!" Red hissed, getting to her feet. "I demand a re-match!" Red hissed.
"Not a chance." Macaque said before Gibbon could even get a response out. " Tonight's training is..well, basically you run from me and try not to get caught, your majesty, would you like to join us?" Macaque said, glancing over at the startled king.
"I'd be glad~!" Wukong smiled warmly. "Very well then, I'll give you a five minutes head start, all three of you." Macaque said, swishing his tail.
Gibbon, Red, and Wukong all took off into the forest side by side.
"Your majesty, Im assuming you know what this is." Red laughed as they ran, breaking the silence of the night.
"Of course I do, look out for the shadows." Wukong chuckled, waving his hands around at the shadows. "Your very smart my king." Gibbon said from his other side.
"Please, we all know I am." Wukong joked, jumping over a fallen tree.
"Five's up!" Red said after a few minutes. "And Macaque's on our ass!" Wukong hissed, looking back at the quiet shadows.
"How do you know?" Gibbon asked, out of breath. " Please, I can feel any demonic presence at any time, and I can see them~!" Wukong half yelled to Gibbon and half yelled to the shadows.
The shadows behind the sudden lurched backwards, stopping for a minute. " Someone made him mad!" Red laughed.
The shadows suddenly shifted and surrounded them, trapping them in its dark talons. Wukong took his staff out from behind his ear, throwing it at the shadows. The shadows parted swiftly, Wukong grabbed Gibbon and Red, running for their lives.
"He's gonna kill us!" Gibbon yelled. "I know!" Wukong laughed. "That's the thrill of it!"
"Gods you all suck!" Macaque's voice hissed, a shadow portal appearing under their feet, swallowing them whole.
They all hit the ground of the stone palace. "Tch, I have to hand it to you, you are good." Macaque complimented Wukong with grin, walking out of the shadows. "Heh, thank you~" Wukong said with a shit-eating-grin.
Macaque smiled, walking to his sleeping quarters, tail swaying in the wind.
