The Compass 2

Three youths flip through the ancestral Classic of Mountains and Seas and break into a hidden realm. Following clues from their forebears' compass, they join forces with strange beasts to dispel the black mist eroding the Mountains and Seas world, becoming a new generation of Path Guardians. They establish a sanctuary, letting the hidden ancient beasts return to the wild, and letting the millennia-spanning legends of the Mountains and Seas live on as the warm everyday of humans and living beings watching over one another. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: The Compass 2 — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
