The Monkey King's Journey chapter:7,8

Chapter 7: The Journey Begins

With staff in hand and heart unsure,
Wukong joined the monk, his fate obscure.
Through forests dark and rivers wide,
He walked as Tang Sanzang’s guide.

The path was fraught with dangers near,
Demons that thrived on greed and fear.
Each sought the monk, his flesh divine,
Believing his death would grant them time.

Wukong, fierce, with a warrior’s art,
Protected his charge with a loyal heart.
His cloud-somersault spanned mountains high,
And his staff struck foes from earth to sky.

Yet as they traveled, the monkey grew,
Learning the lessons he never knew.
From Sanzang’s wisdom, soft and kind,
Wukong began to calm his mind.

The journey tested both strength and soul,
Revealing the cost of his reckless goal.
Though once a king with a fiery pride,
He now stood strong as the monk’s guide.

Chapter 8: The White Bone Spirit

Through a desolate land, their journey led,
Where barren hills loomed, and winds struck dread.
In secret shadows, a demon did dwell,
The White Bone Spirit, with schemes to compel.

She craved the monk’s immortal flesh,
To feast and make her powers fresh.
Disguised as a maiden, fair and frail,
She approached the travelers with a sorrowful tale.

Wukong, with eyes of fiery sight,
Saw through her guise, her foul delight.
Without a word, his staff did fall,
Shattering the demon’s fragile thrall.

But Sanzang, deceived, was filled with ire,
Rebuking Wukong for his “reckless fire.”
He saw not the demon’s wicked game,
And blamed the monkey for needless shame.

Twice more the spirit returned to deceive,
But Wukong struck her each time with speed.
Though saving the monk, his trust grew thin,
And doubt crept into Sanzang’s kin.

At last, the spirit met her fate,
Destroyed by Wukong’s unyielding hate.
But the monk, misled, sent Wukong away,
Leaving the monkey in deep dismay.

Yet destiny called; they would reunite,
For Wukong’s heart was bound to the light.
Through trials and pain, his loyalty shone,
A bond unbroken, though hardships were sown.
