Book One-and-a-Half: A Transition

Canto XIII

There is no Canto XIII.

Even I’m not as bold as to make a XIIIth song.

Oscambria’s tale is filled with enough woe and ill luck.

There’s no reason for me to add more under this foul number.

Rest easy, children,

For this story teller does not tempt Taipeos,

Not now, not ever.
