Thread: The Monkey Prince and the Werewolf Princess ( MoonlightPrincess and SamuraiKing)

Zhao swung the cup of wine back and sighed happily as the alcohol burned down his throat. He filled his cup once more and drank. He repeated this a few times, enjoying the silence of the warm spring night. After a few moments he decided to add another tradition that fit the scene. Well the only thing left to do now is tell stories. I think personal tales work best on such a lovely night. I will start, if you do not mind He took another swig of wine before starting his tale. I was born in a small village during China's Three Kingdom's Era. At the time, the tyrant Dong Zhuo had taken over the Han Dynasty under the guise that he was an adviser to the young Han Emperor. This was about 191 AD. For five years I lived in peace with my mother...Until she died of Typhoid. It was then that my father came for me. I had heard tales of SUn Wukong's adventures from mother. I had hoped to be like him someday. Little did I know that Sun Wukong was actually my father! My father...had dearly loved my mother. Though he could not be there for her like he wanted due to Heavenly duties. It seems he wanted to make up for not being in our lives. He taught me all that I know of martial arts, humor and the Gods. ...But this is not a tale of my training with him. When I was 24 he gave me an elixir of immortality. A hundred years later or so, I had garnered a reputation for myself as the Second coming of the Monkey King. Half the Gods hated me as much as they hated my father. The other half actually had a sense of humor so they liked us well enough. Now one day as I was searching through the Heavenly plains, I found a place I had not been to. It was a grand city with a bridge made of rainbow connected to it. It was Asgard. As is customary, I went to introduce myself to the ruler of this world. Odin welcomed me with open arms and even enjoyed a few of my jokes. I got this one about an African Spider God stealing a Tiger's balls. I'll tell you that one later. I heard it from the God himself, Anansi. He is a funny guy and a lot like my dad..... Oh were was i? OH! Right. Well I went around Asgard, befriending the Gods and Goddesses there. One night I brought some Chinese wine to share with my new friends. It was then that Tyr told me about Iunn and her apples of immortality. Now, the goddess Iunn Pronounced E-Dune keeps her apples in a special place that few know about. Needless to say, I HAD to find myself these apples. It took awhile to find someone who knew, but it was worth the trouble. Ratatoskr Rat-A-Tusk, the squirrel who lives on the World Tree , told me to look East and I would find Iunn's place. I did just that. At the time I was able to shift into a few animals. I chose a rabbit, because who would ever want to hurt a rabbit? Besides Elmer Fudd, anyway. I found Iunn's apple tree, shifted back into my normal form and stole me a few immortality apples and slipped away before anyone was the wiser. To be honest, I don't think any of the Norse Gods even know I stole from them. Sun Zhao told his tale with flair and style. He was a natural storyteller, able to provide perfect doses of suspense and humor. After he finished his story, he took another swig of wine. So, what is your story, Princess?
