*The sun dips below the horizon, ceding the sky to the moon. Behind a gurgling waterfall, three humanoid monkey girls hum a melancholy tune, their tails swaying as they bow to warriors before entering the palace.

Glasses rise in a toast.* "Long live the Monkey King!" *Wukong laughs, raising his glass, only to find it empty. His eyes narrow.* "Hey! Servants! Why is my glass empty? The Great Sage demands an ever-full glass!"
