The Great Sage's Monastery

It was an accident, I think? Was it wrong place, wrong time or was it destined, predetermined by fate? Either way, I'm forced to be the priestess for a year...I think? They are so unclear with the rules and how the ceremony goes. Nor my full role here, but it's very crucial that I stay.

Traveling to China with a group of friends who is using as either business or a vacation. The one who asked us to all go, my best friend who needed a really good article for their traveling company and needed to give a really good report and detailed summary of this part of the country and their temples and Monasteries, asked us to go with our extended knowledge of the country, language, gods and myths. I was a bit more reluctant than the others who at least studied the language and culture while my full interest fell into the gods and stories, especially The Journey To The West. And they managed to convince me by promising to visit several temples for the great sage himself.

The head monk isn't who he says he is, even gives me a bad feeling to be around and there's something off about here. Every time me and my friends try to find a reason to leave, they give us another reason to stay. It's late, stay here. Hungry? Eat our fruits and meals. Wanna explore, we have a large sacred forest behind the grounds to explore. We can even get a guide through their very large Monastery. Into almost every room but the head Monk's. And what I saw in there, made me see everything in a whole new light, or rather shadow, that made me regret coming here in the first place! Now I have to get us to leave before it's too late!
