Preparing for Gatherday

I couldn't think of a better title for this one. It's from the second book of Water Song.

Qi, again, being her wonderful self. But a few fronds of plants in salty soil feel futile at the edge of the wasteland.

A young black woman with close-cropped hair and concentric gold rings around her neck, kneeling in dry dirt with her palms pressed to the ground. Behind her is a bare salt flat with a few scrubby bushes, fading into a dusty haze, and the silhouettes of hills rising from the haze. At her side are two tall wood and hide drums. From her fingers are snaking tendrils of green, which rise and blossom into leaves.
