Popcorns, why weren’t popcorns invented a few millennia earlier? I would have loved to munch on some popcorn as I watched the chaos unfold when Son Wukong (aka The Monkey King, aka the Great Sage Heaven’s Equal) came and stole the sea stabling needle (aka Ryui Jingu Bang) from the Palace of the Eastern Seas.

I was visiting on an errand that day and let me tell you, it was absolute chaos. I think he broke a hole through the roof… I’m pretty sure it’s still there, the younger dragons might have turned that place into a tourist trap…

The Dragon King of the Eastern Sea was so angry, I’ve never seen a dragon change color from red to blue to black in such quick succession. By the way, dragons are not chameleons, we do not change colour to match our surroundings, just in case you were wondering.

Though, as much as I loved the chaos, the resulting pile of paperwork that I ended up having to deal with was almost not worth all the drama. Rainfall patterns were messed up for a good few dozen years afterwards.

But meeting the Great Sage is kinda like meeting one of your mortal celebrities here in the human world. Maybe next time I should ask him for an autograph? Though as a matter of principle, I still have to punch him at least once first, for all the paperwork he caused…. I’ll ask for an autograph THEN punch him.
