    Summary

    There will be peace between the great horde commanded by the khatun and the empire of Dao—if all goes according to plan. The westerners have brought gifts and tribute, and even a princess; and it's just Taban's luck, that she should be assigned to serve that princess as a bodyguard until the terms are all agreed and she may be delivered safely to the khatun. Taban's given her oath, and it's inconceivable that she would break it—it doesn't matter whether she likes this princess or not. Westerners are soft and useless, everyone knows it, and the princess will marry the khatun and stop being Taban's problem.

    (Except that isn't exactly what happens.)

    “You asked why I came here, Guuji Yae?” Sara leans against the railing heavily, watches raindrops as they drip into the pond. Rain patters against the roof of the shrine.

    “I have nowhere else to go.”

    Amazing Yaesara, about healing and become someone more than a soldier. Koi on a mountain pond. Moving on. A beautiful story.

    Summary

    If a xian is an adeptus, a xianniao [仙鸟] is a mythical adeptus-bird. For all that celebrated poets like Li Bai and Bai Juyi aspire to meet and write about one, few exist, and even fewer cross paths with humans.

    So what happens when you're a lowly no-name late Tang Dynasty poet who's already failed their imperial examinations twice?
