As the group of four approached, Aresenn turned to face them with a confident yet welcoming smile. Azoula, Rhazien, and Delaeni's expressions were a mix of curiosity and uncertainty, their brows furrowed and muscles tense against the bitter cold. But Aresenn could sense their apprehension, and he knew it was his responsibility to ease their fears. With a subtle nod, he began to explain the basics of swimming in icy water, "Listen closely," Aresenn began, his voice steady and authoritative. "Swimming in icy water is not like swimming in warmer waters. The cold can sap your strength quickly, so it's important to conserve your energy and move efficiently." He demonstrated a few strokes, showing them how to propel themselves through the water with minimal effort. "Keep your movements smooth and controlled," Aresenn continued as he began the daunting journey toward the island.
