Lake Haiyeti
It is "Three Apples Day" and scorching—the desert heat is immense. Even here in the city, it feels as if the heat is pressing the very buildings into the sky. Why did my Lady send me here? I had grown so accustomed to the cold of Latherna.To my fortune, this city has a lake—Haiyeti. It is cold, impossibly cold, in the midst of this desert. I wonder where its waters originate... Ah, I digress.Swimming in the lake—today was my first time. It is cold, truly cold. Yet it refreshed me in more ways than I thought possible. It sharpened my senses, the ones the heat tries to steal. This cold is unlike Latherna’s cold. It feels... primal, deeply elemental, yet invigorating amidst the sands. Here, cold carries life and beauty, so different from the cold I once knew.

Each swim brings me back—clears my mind. My search here will be a long one, and this is the balance I need. I swim alone. Sometimes people watch me with puzzled looks, whispering among themselves. I think I may be the only one who dares enter this lake. There is another lake—warmer, they say—but I’ve been advised not to swim there. The Isle of the Founders lies in its waters. To avoid complications, I will keep my distance—for now.
