This story follows a trio of young adventurers: Saffron, Ushi, and Meow. They embark on a quest to find the legendary Seven Orbs, traversing a world where humans and youkai (man-eating supernatural creatures and the likes) coexist, but not without tensions. Saffron is a human, not quite an adult yet. Ushi is a half-youkai adopted by Saffron's family, a few years younger than him. Meow, on the other hand, is a mysterious youkai wanderer from a distant land. Their journey unfolds through a series of events and challenges, from encountering various youkai, villages and underground cities, to forming alliances with a Covenant of Witches and confronting powerful beings far beyond their understanding. Throughout the story, these three undergo profound transformations, facing moral dilemmas, overcoming personal obstacles, and challenging societal norms. From understanding the complexities of magic, to the emotional arcs of the trio, this story explores themes of identity, morality, and the nature of power. DISCLAIMER: regarding the AI illustrations in this story; I plan on commissioning a real artist once I have enough money to replace all the AI art in this. If you don't like AI art, just ignore them. It'll change eventually. Edit: I would put spotify links to the music I used in each scene, but Wattpad doesn't let spotify links work, so youtube it is.

A Tale of the Jade Road. (Original work, not MTL) [Cross-posting to Wattpad and Scribblehub.] Cover art by Lemntii 2025. *** "I hurt, human children." "I can take it from ye, if ye want." "You cannot. He took them, and crushed them into blood. Take my hurt, you say? But it is all I have left of them." * Healer Yuen Sou Yuet has somehow found themselves saddled with a travelling companion, a gender-shifting, trouble-making necromancer. They're stuck with each other - Sou Yuet must undergo a trial to prove their worthiness as successor to the Yuen Mei School of Healing, whilst the necromancer essentially requires a parole officer after committing multiple crimes and continuously escaping imprisonment. And so the unlikely duo travel from country to country, investigating the disappearance of legendary creatures across the world. Turns out there's a lot to know about life and death. *** What to expect: * A meeting between Eastern and Western fantasy * Daoist cultivation and Celtic magic * Non-binary MCs * Philosophising about life and death *** 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!, Eitsu's Nine Lives (Wattpad and Scribblehub only) and At the Water's Edge.
