Asleep at Last

Among the sprawling branches of Fusang, perhaps one sprig yet lives, in some untouched world, that would seek to save their fellow scions.

Some more about the 10 suns, because I think they're pretty neat. Today is mostly gonna be cool details that I didn't go into before.

So, I don't think I've mentioned where the suns hung out when they weren't doing their jobs, and that's a shame because it's pretty cool.

See, there's this massive tree called Fusang that grew in the Tang Valley. It's so big that it has an entire palace in it's branches. Talk about a fancy tree house, right? And, of course, it has immortality giving fruit like 80% of all other magic trees in ancient China (seriously, with all these immortality fruits, it's a wonder the 10 Kings of the Underworld have jobs anymore).

Anyway, they all lived in the tree, but how they took turns being in the sky varies by telling. Some stories have their mother Xihe carry them across in a chariot pulled by dragons, but sometimes they just climb the tree and sit at the top all day. One myth says that the suns were actually carried around by magic crows that Xihe blinded to keep them from taking her sons down to the mortal realm, so instead they decided to take the crows to the top of the tree and cause Problems. Whoops.

Last but not least, the last sun. See, all the myths with these guys mention that one stays in the sky, which makes sense because we kinda need at least one of them. They were only a problem because they all decided to party together. But it also makes sense that the last sun would be pretty nervous about coming out again after all 9 of his brothers either got sniped by Hou Yi or Shen I, or smashed with a mountain by Erlang Shen. That's when someone or something decided to have roosters crow at sunrise, to tell him to get his butt up there and do his job.

Inktober Day 15: Legend

"Below is the Tang valley, and there is a Fusang tree nearby, where the ten suns bathe"..."In the middle of the water is a colossal tree. Nine of the suns rest on the lower branches, while one perches on top." --"Classic of Mountains and Seas", Classic of Regions Beyond the Seas: East chapter

(I'll try to catch up on Inktober asap. That midterm successfully destroyed what little sleep I could get lol...rip me.)

The earliest historical record of Asian Americans probably includes some lascars (sailors) on British ships from India.
