Rejection.

Over the past twenty-two years, the Great Monk, Tang Tripitaka, has journeyed westward with his three unruly but goodhearted disciples, Sun Wukong, Zhu Wuneng, and Sha Wujing. They have faced a great many trials on the way to India. The disciples have killed demons and spat in the faces of gods, but Tripitaka wasn't worried. He's a good man. His disciples are good men, under their very rough exteriors. They have a bodhisattva ensuring their success.

So it's fine.

It's fine.

...

It very abruptly was not fine.

Tripitaka and his disciples are thrown out of heaven for their multitude of sins, stripped of their merit, clothes, and even their names. What are they meant to do now? Where can they go from here?
