"It is frankly ridiculous. And then he wanted more and more until it finally bit him and he had to go on his 'path of redemption,'" he said with a scoff. "He wanted to become the Jade Emperor. A foolish thing to pursue without even understanding what he does."

"He wanted to become a different unkillable being?" She asked. "What does he do - you don't have to give me a history lesson. I know I'm asking a lot of questions but your whole life and world is somehow weirder than mine and I'm literally an elf that got revived as a Fey."

"He literally keeps the fabric of reality together. No Jade Emperor, and reality falls apart at the seams. The only ones who might survive are those who have truly achieved nirvana. Otherwise, everything else is going to be wiped out," Red Son said. "Its not something one should just TRY to do. But there are those who are foolish to try. At least Wukong stopped. Others? Others haven't learned an ounce of sense."

"And its fine. I've studied a lot of this for years, just trying to find loopholes."

"Oh, yeah. Fuck with the person controlling the whole of reality, I'm sure there would be no repercussions for that." She rolled her eyes. "Who wants that responsibility anyway? Someone who wanted to change some things, I guess. But. Still." Not even worth it.

"You'd love the Lunari. They're a bunch of scholars. I just learned how to read, kind of," she see-sawed her hand, "while I was in Faerie. I don't exactly study."

"Exactly. People who want to change things. Or want to be assured that no one could ever tell them what to do," Red Son said. "Wukong is the latter. Others are the former. Convinced everything could be better if they just have the power. Unaware of just how much all that is for any one being."

"I like knowing things. I've always had a talent for information," he said. "...do you need help with learning how to read better?"

She sighed. All powerful God-like beings were ridiculous. Most people were ridiculous.

"Are you offering? You're already doing a lot for me, but I - I mean I'm not gonna say no, if you're willing."
