Going straight down the corridor, on tiptoes, you eventually reach the room you'd seen at the end.
It is a five-sided room with another door across from you and, to your left, a massive sceal on a stone door.
You notice the round holes in the dragon's hands and underneath him, topped with the numbers 1, 2, then 3 and 4, and finally 5 at the bottom. You look around you: on the five walls hang five banners:
Behind you stands a little cupboard. On it, you find a book, and inside it, five wooden balls the exact circumference of the holes in the dragon sceal, coloured green, blue, pink, orange and yellow.
The book reads as follows:
Sun Wukong was born of a stone egg.
His sins, committed one after the other, eventually angered the Jade Emperor, who attempted to have him killed. When nothing worked, Buddha himself imprisoned him beneath a mountain.
Eventually Sun Wukong was freed, and followed the Buddhist monk Kuan Yin in her travels.
This is obviously a riddle.
Choose the order you wish to place the balls into the dragon's hands:
Pink, Yellow, Orange, Blue, and Green - go to Chapter Forty-three.
Blue, Green, Orange, Yellow, Pink - go to Chapter Forty-four.
Green, Pink, Blue, Orange, Yellow - go to Chapter Forty-Five.
Pink, Green, Orange, Blue, Yellow - go to Chapter Forty-Six.
To skip this and go through the door that was across from you, go to Chapter Forty-Seven.
