Try and find that treasure.

Aria racked her brain trying to figure out where the bosmer would have gone. It was then that she remembered the treasure map she had found in the camp. It was one of the things taken from the camp when she woke up.

"That bosmer must be going to collect the treasure," Aria deducted, "but if I get their first, I can get the jump on her."

Aria realized this was her only option and that she didn't have much time, so she quickly shot out from behind the stone pillar and raced towards the lake. She had partially memorized the map so she could easily find the treasure however when she finally arrived at the water's edge she hesitated. Aria placed a single toe into the water and felt a chill course through her body. She quickly pulled her toe out realizing these were not the warm waters of Summerset Was she really about to jump into some freezing Nord Lake stark naked? She looked around trying to find a way to cross, but instead found something else. An old fisherman camped out on the rocky shore.

"Next time, you might want to get dressed before leaving the house," he said upon spotting the streaking High Elf. Without a word Aria immediately dove into the water.

Aria crawled out of the waters of Lake Ilinalta shivering and soaking wet. The swim had been hell. The water was so cold it felt like ice had formed in her veins. Worse, Aria had been harassed by giant Slaughterfish the whole swim forcing her to stop and blast them away with lightning magic to insure they could take a bite out of her perfect skin. Now that she had made it to shore, the Altmer noblewoman collapsed onto the muddy beach her body still shivering from the cold.

"Curse this horrid land," Aria whispered tears in her eyes. "It is no place for a civilized Mer like myself."

After wallowing in self-pity for a few minutes Aria stood up, wiped the tears from her eyes and put on a look of determination. She was an Altmer, a descendent of the Aedra, blessed with magical power. She could overcome any challenge that came her way. Aria held her hands together and formed a fireball however instead of throwing it she held it up to her soaking body allowing it to dry and warm her up. When she was done, she stood proudly (despite still being naked) and marched into the woods.
