mild travels took tavina away from the oasis, though its edge stayed just in sight. a carryweave of lillygrass was looped over her shoulder, and in it fluttered all manner of leaves and stalks and glinting blossoms.
but it was something else for which she searched, something important. a fever was beginning to gather in tavina's body, and she loathed its feeling. this herb would stave it off.
a rivulet of water seemed to appear from the sand, welling, and she followed it to where dunes turned to an odd blue-green smattering of plantlife. desert became hills, until tavina realized she had discovered a tiny valley maybe an hour's walk from the oasis itself.
and within it, "aha!" she gloated, crouching to harvest an unobtrusive little golden plant.
