Celestial Vows~ Yandere Nezha

Chapter 5: Awakening

It had been 516 years since Y/N was cast down from the Celestial Realm, a time during which she had fallen into a deep, unbroken sleep. Her dreams were a relentless loop, replaying her past over and over like a broken record. The memories haunted her, a reminder of all she had lost.

But then, something broke through the endless cycle—a voice, faint yet familiar, urging her to wake up. It was so distant at first, but it grew louder, more insistent. The world around her began to shift, and she felt someone shaking her gently.

"Y/N... wake up," the voice pleaded.

Slowly, she opened her eyes, squinting against the bright sunlight that streamed in. The world came into focus, and above her, she saw a face she hadn't expected—Sun Wukong, the Monkey King.

"Wukong?" she whispered, her voice hoarse and weak. Confusion clouded her mind as she tried to make sense of what was happening.

Wukong grinned widely and pulled her into a warm hug. "I missed you," he said, his voice filled with genuine relief and happiness.

Y/N was even more confused. "How long... how long have I been asleep?"

"516 years," Wukong replied, then quickly corrected himself, "Well, 518 now."

The shock hit her like a tidal wave. "518 years..." she repeated, her hand instinctively reaching up to touch her hair. It was no longer the color it once was. Instead, it had turned a deep, fiery red—a symbol of her fall from grace.

She let out a shaky breath as the reality of her situation set in. She truly was a fallen goddess. Wukong noticed her distress and gently placed his hand on her shoulder, offering comfort.

"Hey, don't worry," he said softly. "You can stay with me. Besides, I've been kinda lonely without a friend around."

Y/N looked at him, a mixture of emotions swirling in her chest. "What about Macaque?" she asked, knowing how close the two monkeys had been.

Wukong's expression darkened for a moment, but he quickly brushed it off. "He's... not around anymore," he said, evading the question. "Please, just stay. I don't want to be alone."

Y/N sighed, her heart aching at the thought of causing him pain. She could never bring herself to make him sad, not after everything they'd been through. "Alright," she agreed, giving him a small smile. "I'll stay."

Wukong's face lit up with joy. "Great! We're already on Flower Fruit Mountain. It'll be just like old times, you'll see."

She looked around, realizing for the first time where she was. "Flower Fruit Mountain..." she murmured. "I don't remember coming here."

Wukong chuckled softly. "That's because I carried you here. I've been taking care of you while you were sleeping."

Y/N's heart softened, and she couldn't help but smile. "Thank you, Wukong," she said sincerely. "For caring for me all this time."

Wukong waved off her thanks with a playful grin. "It's what friends do. Now, let's get you settled in. We've got a lot of catching up to do."

As they walked together up the mountain, Y/N couldn't help but feel a bittersweet mixture of emotions. She had lost so much, but here with Wukong, perhaps she could find a new purpose, a new beginning.
