Wukong woke up from this nightmare (remind was sinking). he sat down. He started coughing. He couldn't breathe. A black substance (the same liquid in which he drowned) began to flow out of his mouth. He wanted to puke. He quickly went to the bathroom. He vomited into the sink. He vomited this black substance. He rested his hands on the sides of the sink. It was the ugliest feeling. Wukong finished. He watched in disgust at the vomit. Then he looked in the mirror in front of himself. Wukong held out his hand to the mirror. His reflection did the same. His reflection had a concerned expression. Wukong touched the mirror. But it didn't feel like a mirror, he felt the touch of his own hand.
"Wake up," said the reflection. Wukong fell to the ground and it was like falling into a tunnel.
And he woke up again. Now he could breathe.
What a fucked up dream. Never again this drug. Wukong thought. He rubbed his eyes. He looked around the room.
Liuer emerged from the shadows with a tray of food and a cup of tea. He was smiling. Wukong looked at him suspiciously. Is this another dream? "Good Morning Sunshine"
Liuer placed the tray on the bed.
"I brought you breakfast and tea. The same as yesterday, because you liked it," said the prince. Should I puke again? Wukong thought.
"How are you feeling? Are you okay? I'm going to call the doctor right now to see you again."
Wukong didn't answer. He wondered about his dream. What was he supposed to mean? The liquid was hideous. Cold, sticky... just like yesterday's medicine... Oh no more.
"Sunshine? Did you have a bad dream?"
Wukong looked at him. He processed what the prince had said and nodded.
"Oh.. it was just a dream." said the prince and approached him.
Yeah.. definitely just a dream where I drowned and puked. Probably normal, he thought sarcastically. Liuer kissed him on the head. Wukong shook himself out of his thoughts.
"Eat. I'll go get the doctor"
Liuer left the room. Wukong looked at his cup of tea. He quickly carried it to the bathroom and poured the tea into the sink. At the same time, he looked in the mirror. He touched the mirror surface. Nothing happened. It was just a mirror. Wukong snorted. I'm crazy, I'm going crazy, Wukong thought. He returned to the room. He put the cup back on the tray. He looked at the food. He thought about the current situation. If he puked in a dream, will he actually puke again after eating that thing? It's hard. He's hungry. He took the first bite of the sandwich. It was a little nauseous, but he didn't want to throw up, which was a big plus. He ate it all.
After a while, Liuer returned with the doctor. The doctor examined him. His physical condition improved, but mental? NO. Of course, none of them knew about it, and Wukong hoped it would stay that way.
After that he went to meet the king and the remnants of his entourage. (He was led by Ming, the maid. Without her, Wukong would be lost. It is better for him not to walk alone through the dark corridors of the palace)
Meeting as usual. Nothing special. Some state affairs. Border defense. Trade development, army affairs. Of course, Wukong had to speak on each of these topics. Sigh. Then they went to the training room. And there was a group of soldiers.
"And what do I have to do with this?" Wukong asked.
"This will be your new duty from today," said the king.
"I'm sorry what am I supposed to do?"
"Your powers are under control. And from what you once showed us, you know how to fight and know military tactics. That's why you will train my soldiers. They will need a good training" said the king. Wukong looked at the king and then at the soldiers. Another function to perform? Oh.. this is already infatuated. NO. Enough.
"Excuse me. Is the king kidding me now?"
NO"
"How am I supposed to teach them anything? I'm not a soldier or warrior or anything like that. I have no memories. I don't know anything."
"Have a little faith in yourself"
"I will not do it"
"Well... As your king. You have no choice"
What?! The blood boiled.
"Remember that you are in my kingdom. I saved you. I kept you. Wild of me you are still here"
It's because of you that I'm still here, Wukong thought. On the one hand, the king "saved" him, gave him a "home". Yeah.. Wukong has a lot to be thankful for, but if it wasn't for that... He could have left right away.. but he couldn't at the time. Neither is it now. He was involuntarily entangled in this world. Wukong sighed.
"All right. I'll do my best. King."
"Have fun" the king disappeared into the shadows. The soldiers, Wukong, and two generals were left in the hall to guard (watch) him. The generals stepped aside and watched the whole event with amusement. They even made bets (all generals and advisers). The bet was simple: Wukong won't stay long as a teacher.

"Let's get this over with quickly. What have you learned so far?" Wukong called back. Nobody answered. Wukong was annoyed.
"Can any of you speak?"
"Okay, I see you're not going to make my life any easier"
Wukong was not prepared for this. But he remembered something from training with the prince. He was going to use that knowledge. Because the king really... was weird.
Wukong walked over to the armory. He chose a weapon. And it was a wooden cane (similar to the one in the dream). Somehow Wukong was more comfortable fighting with a staff than with a sword or any other type of weapon. He stood before the soldiers again. He pointed his staff at one of the soldiers.
"You. Step up," said Wukong.
The soldier stepped forward.
"Defence Posture"
"Excuse me, what?" said the soldier.
"And yet someone can talk. I said defense posture. After all, those generals of yours must have shown you something."
The soldier set himself up. Wukong looked at him.
"Hm... Could be... but could be better"
Wukong started to stop him with a stick.
"Yes. It's better now."
"What's that supposed to do?" asked the soldier.
"In this..." and attacked him, but the soldier stayed on his feet. "This keeps you from falling over. Now all of you pair up. I want to see you fight."
"Shall we fight against each other?"
"Yeah.. how else am I supposed to judge your skill level?" Wukong said.
"But.."
"Theory alone is not enough. Now move on. I don't want to spend the rest of the day here."
"And the warm-up?"
"I'm listening?"
"Exercises to help before the real workout?"
Wukong snorted. "There will be no time for such things on the battlefield."
The generals looked at each other. So she remember something? They will have to tell it king. Yeah but konw they will see what's more she remember.

Wukong had to admit that it was even a nice feeling. Something where he could forget about his own strange problems. Yes, the soldiers were weak, but he could work with that. He doesn't know why, but it was even a familiar feeling. Of course, he didn't like the fact that he didn't have a choice, but that was so much better than drinking tea and dying listening to the prince's parents talk.

It should be mentioned here that it was only a group of soldiers (14) and they were not ordinary soldiers, but in fact some of the best warriors from the whole country. All of them came from a separate county. The plan was this. Train them and they will come back and train more soldiers in their towns.

The king had to admit it was a nice feeling. He subdued the great sage equal to heaven. He did this. Tamed the (partially) savage beast. Well, maybe Sun Wukong still has the strength to be resistant, to fight for his opinion, but soon he will be completely no right. He will have to. But it's all step by step. Let's focus on current affairs. Thanks to Sun Wukong, the kingdom came to life. It's amazing that a monkey like him could solve any problem. That's funny, the king thought. I wish I had convinced him/her years ago, but back then... He/she was himself/herself, if he/she'd agreed then it would have been much easier. But now that the truth about his gender is out, it's easier to subdue it. Such a great sage, a king... Lost in a new world with no rights to speak or have own decision. With only my son as a friend. Excellent. thought the king.
The doctor entered the assembly room. The king looked at him. The doctor sat across from him.
"How are things?"
"I checked her. The brain is starting to heal. The medicine has worked," said the doctor.
"Now is the most important time for our kingdom. You will have to study her systematically."
"I understand", said doctor.
