Dialogue

Whew, finally outta there. But uh, we sure it's a good idea to take Mei Hou Wang out with us? C'mon, it's all right. He doesn't seem like a bad guy. And plus, it's not like he's definitely a fiend, is it? No, I surveyed the flow of mana, and he is unmistakably not a normal person... Even more then, we don't know. Is there actually a such thing as a kind-hearted fiend...? What in the world is he, I wonder... ...Hey, actually, speaking of him—where are he and Wu Kong? Oh... You're right, they don't seem to be around! Where could they have gone?! There you are! Whew... Were you safely able to meet back up with your friends? (I know this guy said he was Mei Hou Wang, but...he really seems like he's a decent fellow?) (Plus...) ...Say, have you and I met before? Huh? I don't recall... Oh, right. If you don't have your memory, you wouldn't. Right. I'm sorry... Do you remember meeting me? Hmm... I FEEL like I have, but I can't remember either. I see... Then maybe I really am I fiend, like your friends say? Did I hurt living creatures? Like the thing that attacked me? Don't worry about that. Even if you're some kind of fiend, if you're a good guy, then I don't see any problem. ...I wonder. But thanks. Oh, right! I haven't actually introduced myself properly. I'm Wu Kong. I'm on a solo journey of training as a rookie sealer. Wu Kong? It's good to meet you. That's pretty amazing, you being so small but being on a journey by yourself. Hehe! Well, y'know. I've visited a good number of places. Taiwu, Alberia, and lately, the northern lands, too! Wow... You must've seen a lot of different things. What, you interested in foreign lands? No, it's not that. It's just, you're totally different from me. I don't have memories... I don't have anything. Oh... Hey, I got it, then. Come with me! What? I'll let you be my traveling buddy! If you don't like having no memories, then you should go on a journey and see a bunch of new stuff. I traveled the world with my own master. And that's why I am the way I am now. So c'mon, you could even just do it while you wait for your memory to come back! It'll be fun on a bun, buddy. Wu Kong... Haha, it's true, that might be nice, too... Yeah! That's a promise, Mei Hou Wang! Oho! Now I see. So THAT'S Mei Hou Wang!  ?! WATCH OUT! The heck are you people doing...wait, you guys are...! Yo. Long time no see, Wu Kong. Looks like in the several years since we've last seen each other, you've become a bit more able. Wu Kong! Are you okay? Who the heck are these guys?! Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing. Acquaintances of the master and me. Well, more like her uninvited hangers-on than acquaintances, I guess. She always said that non-sealers couldn't get involved with Qilin relics, so she's been trying to shake them off here and there. But they keep following her around no matter where she goes. Something about owing her for something or other. HAHAHA! It's like my wife always says. Leave no debt unpaid. That's my code. I do what's right. Xuan Zang Hanger-on #1

Zhu Bajie
Honestly. Creed? What's "right"? Such things aren't in vogue these days, Zhu Bajie. For me, what is unequivocably more important than repaying favors is probing the secrets of the Qilin relics. Xuan Zang Hanger-on #2

Sha Wujing
*sigh* You two are just as...you two as ever. So, why are you guys here? And what's with you attacking Mei Hou Wang like that?! Is it not obvious? We are here on Master Xuan Zang's orders. You lie! She would never order you to just show up and attack somebody! I mean, all she really said was, "we can't just leave Mei Hou Wang be." Which obviously meant to take him down! Of all the nonsense...!
