Never shall I gaze upon a blazing Troy
Never would I yield to such a fate,
Tell me what you saw beyond that hazy void
The one your gift of prophecy creates,

Graves AU
Marshall Liu was never Macaque's biggest fan, but she was Wukong's spouse, and in the Stone Monkey's absence, the title of the Monkey king falls to her.
Upon hearing that the Celestial Realm planned to retaliate on the mountain the generals gather to create a plan. Marshall Liu, who has served the throne from before Wukong was even in it, ask Macaque to hear the future, warn them of what is go come.
She does.

There is a version of this made in CSP but the program hates me and I don't have time to figure out how to finish that there, so you guys get the very niece paper lines 😌.
I will be making a post about the Marshals and Generals along side other important OCs for the Graves AU, but I have yet to color them.
But in the meantime, here is Marshall Liu, she is married to Marshall Ma and the closest thing Wukong ever had to a mother figures..
and a close up of these panels.... for no particular reason :]

Summary:
Warhammer takes place on an unnamed planet that bears a striking resemblance to our own Earth, with continents laid out in a similar pattern, though not quite the same shape.
In the background of Warhammer Fantasy, it is mentioned that at one point in time, the nation of Grand Cathay (the setting's Fantasy Counterpart Culture to Imperial China) fell under the rule of the Monkey King, who appointed advisors from the Skaven Clan Eshin and ushered in a period of chaos. While a rare villainous example of the trope, it makes sense when one considers that the original Sun Wukong was seen as an embodiment of chaos, and in the setting of Warhammer the Forces of Chaos are considered the ultimate evil.

The promotional material for Total War: Warhammer III, which sees Cathay undergo significant Adaptation Expansion, reveals that the Monkey King's ascension led to the Dragon Emperor's progeny actually setting aside their differences and uniting against him, only being able to throw him out once their parents returned from a lengthy absence.
