Primal chaos ruled the worlds before Monkey. Monkey was born of time, of Heaven and earth, sun and Moon, out of a stone egg. He was irrepressible! the place was like ancient china and the time might have been a thousand years ago. They fought - and they thought - then, as now. Holy Tripitaka prayed. One disciple, Sandy, a fish-spirit. Pigsy, expelled from Heaven for greed, is a spirit of a pig. He is changing. Everything changes. There is a horse, once a dragon, now evolving into human form. Monkey, Horse, Sandy, Pigsy and Tripitaka are all upon a journey as long as life.
