★ the saltmaster extraordinaire

Here's another art-piece by the lovely and very talented Yinza, of a scene from songs of surrender, my Oban Star-Racers / Avatar The Last Airbender & Legend of Korra fusion-fic. This one is a moment from chapter 2 -- Aikka, Prince of the Northern Water Tribe, meditating in the Foggy Swamp. He's in the middle of a world tour, keen on studying as many Waterbending styles as possible, with a variety of masters. In this case, the tribesmen in the swamp. (Not in the image but very much present, is Canaan, his first teacher and mentor, who unlike Aikka's calm openness to learn, is complaining about the mud, the biting flies and the locals).
