That got MK to look back at Red Son.

"Yeah. I know. None at all. 0%. No stars on Yelp. Would not recommend."

"Good. There is a very short list of Celestials I am willing to even deal with without literally being cornered into it. Nezha is a very rare breed," Red Son said.

"However. Azure Lion was still wrong. Not in that the Celestial Realm is full of the self righteous and arrogant, the apathetically callous. But in the fact the Celestial Realm does have necessary roles in it. You saw that there MUST be a Jade Emperor and there isn't many who could take on that role. There are others too. That is the real reason why the rebellion was always doomed to fail. Sure, there were plenty of Celestials you could slaughter, but there are also plenty fulfilling a role that existence itself needs," Red Son said. He sighed and wrapped his arms around MK. "There is no conquering the Celestial Realm without having a solid plan and understanding of those roles and you can only get that information from a Celestial. There is a reason father has given up on that idea entirely."

The hug, more than anything, pulled MK out of those thoughts. There had to be a Jade Emperor or everything broke. Everything fell apart. But...

"Just because they're necessary doesn't give them the right to hurt so many people. To hurt Macaque, the monkeys, Monkey King...you," MK turned his face and nuzzled the size of Red Son's neck.

"...It's still not fair. Azure was wrong and he did the same thing. He hurt people. He hurt you. Me. All of us. I just...I wish it was more fair. That's all."

"I know. I do too," Red Son said, pulling him closer. Running his fingers through his hair. "And who knows, maybe in some centuries from now, we'll be able to figure out a plan to actually make them accountable without messing up the universe. If you want, I can try to figure something out. But it is one of those things you have to be careful to not let the thoughts consume you."

He turns his head and kisses the side of his head. "You don't want to hurt people like them. You're better than that."

MK snuggled close to Red Son. He held onto his mate and nodded. The dark thoughts still there just much less noisy now. Quiet and sitting somewhere in the back of his mind.

"I am..." MK's voice was soft. He wasn't fully convinced. MK was better than that when he wasn't causing problems. When he wasn't causing pain. When he wasn't the monkey demon thing.

"You are," Red Son assured, tightening his hold on MK. Kissing the top of his head. "And certainly better than Heaven."

Re: Level U cw: immolation

That got a smile out of MK.

"I would hope so. Or I'd have a lot of questions."

"It would certainly be a feat to be worse. But no, definitely better," he said, another kiss to his temple.
