Sticks and Stones and Dancing Cranes: The End of the Beginning

By Kaso Yue

Swift and agile Ling is an aspiring crane warrior willing to take on the mission to find the Millennial Pearl to return it to its rightful place.

On her journey she will develop lifelong friendships, with creatures great and small as they travel together transforming between their human form and spirit animals to get to their next adventure.

Performing sideway spiral jumps to avoid arrows or hurling her bamboo stick at an attacking enemy, the team will use their special abilities and martial arts capabilities to defeat demons and spirits, whilst growing their powers and finding relics to help them along the way.
