Macaque was a unique figure in the city. Notorious for his soft spot for beautiful dresses, he had made a name for himself as the shadow thief. His shadowy figure would be spotted roaming the markets, swiftly grabbing the most luxurious dresses.

His week wouldn't be complete without stealing a few for personal use. The prices were too high, and besides, he loved the thrill of the chase. His glamour faded every once in a while, revealing his scar and his six colorful ears.

Word spread throughout the city about the shadow thief, catching the ear of the legendary Sun Wukong. Intrigued, he decided to find the thief who was causing a stir in his city.

Macaque was doing his usual routine - glamor up, walk around in a shadow disguise, swipe some dresses, and prepare for work. But today was different. His shadow was caught by Sun Wukong.

The revelation shocked Sun Wukong. He hadn't expected the thief to be Macaque. Before he could process this, Macaque dropped the dresses and disappeared into the shadows.

Sun Wukong was quick to react, grabbing Macaque by the neck. Macaque flinched, trying to escape from the grip. He had no desire to die again. He summoned his shadows and piled them on top of Sun Wukong as he fled.

In his panic, Macaque fled to his secret dojo, a place where he found solace. He used the waterfall there as a shadow curtain, a tool to tell his stories. It was his escape, his sanctuary from the outside world.

Sun Wukong, defying the shadows, followed Macaque to his dojo. There he saw the waterfall's shadow curtain and was amazed. But he also felt an upset bubbling within him. He wanted to know why Macaque stole the dresses.

Macaque revealed his love for the dresses and bemoaned their high cost. Reusing them was the only option for a creature like him. This was a side of the shadow thief that Sun Wukong had not anticipated.
