    Summary

    “Don’t you ever wonder what could have been?” the ghost whispers, almost conspiratorially. “Victory was within your grasp before the Buddha himself interfered, was it not? That’s how they tell the story. I’m sure the thought crossed your mind during your long imprisonment – what if he’d never been there? What if you’d won?

    A few months after his battle with Yuandi, Sun Wukong is forced to face a reflection of himself; a King of Demons who lost his war against the Heavens is confronted with everything he could have been.

    Summary

    “I believe at least half the purpose of family is to get on each others' very last nerve,” Tripitaka said, virtuously. “You’ve been fulfilling this role admirably. How delightful to be able to return the favor.”

    or:

    Somehow it takes Tripitaka seeing his disciple grow to the size of a mountain to realize how fragile the Monkey King really is.
