Blackbird in the Pale Hollow (᚛ᚂᚑᚅ ᚇᚒᚁᚆ ᚄᚐ ᚙᚒᚐᚅ ᚁ)

A Tale of the Jade Road. (Original work, not MTL)[Cross-posting to Wattpad and Scribblehub.] What's the best way to prove your useless father was also a massive liar? Head off to the places he's supposedly been to, of course. Never mind the fact that he's already dead. But a trip that big, from the island of Iriu all the way east to the Five Domains, is going to take a lot of time, and probably a few fellow travellers. So when Finnath finally manages to scrape together an odd group, it's adventure-bound for them all... Only, did he make a mistake with his choice of companions? -This version of the story has had minimal editing.- The Tales of the Jade Road are a collection of stories set in the same universe, a historical East Asian-inspired fantasy world where the East and the West are linked by a long trading route, the Jade Road. Other Tales include: I'm really not the Saviour!, At the Water's Edge, Eitsu's Nine Lives (Wattpad and Scribblehub only) and Ginseng and Yew.
