You scour for references, finding only allusions to another plane of existance like Oblivion where only man exists as a sentient race, and elves and beasts do not exist.
Black Widow awakens soon. "My apologies, I must have dozed off. It's been awhile since I had a good night's sleep."

-You need not apologize, replied the Archmage as she closed the book she was reading and stood up to leave it on Urag's desk. Resting was a good idea. You may need your strength and your wits about you, as we are leaving for Castle Volkihar, far to the West. We are not going on foot, fear not. I have... other means of transportation available. Are you ready?
She invited her to follow her outside with a hand gesture.
-I have found about a ritual that should return you to your world. I already have most of the necessary components, but we need to find a few more. Castle Volkihar is one place I am fairly sure I could get some. After that, we'll have to acquire a handful of Grand Souls for the ritual.

"Okay." Black Widow says getting outside with her.

As they walked, the Dragonborn once again said "Diivon", with the result of her mask vanishing to be replaced with a greyish, metallic circlet decorated with a couple of blue gemstones on her forehead, and with her archmage's robes being replaced with an elegant, though rather eerie dark outfit with a cape that gave her an air of... authority.
When they were out, she headed towards outside of Winterhold alongside Black Widow, in order not to scare the residents with the Shout she was about to use. As they walked there, she kept discussing with the young woman,
-Be aware that Castle Volkihar is home to one of the oldest and most powerful clan of vampires in all of Tamriel. They will not harm you if knowing you are with me, obviously, but it pays to be careful in a place like it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 stones into Dragon Shout (Carry Gear) plus 2 from Dragonforce, to send away my mask and robes, to replace them with my Mage's Circlet and my suit of Vampire Royal Armor.
Head outside of Winterhold (the town) alongside Widow.

"Okay..." Widow says a bit skeptical. As you arrive outside Winterhold into a snowfield clearing.

-Trust me, Anaya said with a mysterious smile. I swore I would bring you back to your world. And I will. You might want to step back for now, though, though.
She looked up to the skies, stood up straight, and let out a powerful Shout.
-OD HA VIING!!
She looked up to the sky, waiting for her draconic friend to show up. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 11 stones (Ef.) into Dragon Shout (Call Dragon), plus 2 from Dragonforce; 9 to summon Odahviing, 4 for duration (several hours).

The Dragon swoops down from the sky in your direction. "You called Dovahkiin what enemy do you have for me to face?" He asks.
Widow just watches with wide eyes.

-He's a friend, Anaya said to her companion. She was used with dealing with dragons now, either fighting them or discussing with the ones who didn't want to oppose her. But it always amused her to see other people's reactions to such situations.
-Drem Yol Lok, Odahviing. I'm afraid no enemy calls for your might at the moment... However, the situation calls for your mobility and speed. I am seeking to return this woman to her world, and to do so I need to get spell components from Castle Volkihar and return, preferably fast. Will you lend us your wings, my friend? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 6 stones into Social Skills (Kind and cheerful, Dragonborn) plus 3 from Attractive, into asking Odahviing to transport us to Castle Volkihar and back once we're done there. ^_^

"Very well. Get onboard my friend." Odahviing says letting you both on his back.
You start to pass Morthal and are about to cross the water seperating Solitude from the rest of Skyrim when you see an unusual sight.
An animal you have never seen before in battle with a group of Charus.
It looks like an oversized wolly pig with large mamoth-like tusks protruding out the front of it's face.
But what really draws your attention is the fact that it's shooting frost magic out it's mouth!

-Tch... Chaurus. I hate those things.
The other creature, however, was far more interesting. She had never seen anything like it in Skyrim before. Nor in Cyrodiil, truth be told.
-Odahviing... Black Widow. Please meet me on the ground... I would like to investigate this strange animal before heading on further. This shouldn't take long... just enough to rip apart a handful of oversized bugs, I suppose.
She grinned... and merely jumped off the dragon's back. It was a pretty long way down... and yet:
-FEIM!
As the 'Become Ethereal' shout worked its wonders, she became unabled to suffer any physical damage, even from a fall such as this one, a trick she used often to 'climb' down mountains quickly. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 4 stones into Acrobatics, to leap from Odahviing's back in order to land not too far from the Chaurus for a dramatic entrance...
...and 1 stone into Dragon Shout (Become Ethereal) plus 2 from Dragonforce, all 3 into becoming Ethereal for 1 panel, which should be enough to land without damage as like in the game. XD

Widow and Odahviig acknowledge your plan as you land on the ground with no problems. You are now fast enough to hear the creature's calls as it charges a Chaurus.
"MAMO-SWINE!!!" It roars sending the giant bug sailing overhead with a flick of it's tusks.

(OOC: We are in direct sunlight, if I'm not mistsken, correct?)
Anaya Rosethorne
-Interesting... you seem to be able to utter words. I thought you were a simple animal, but it seems I might be wrong. At any rate... Let us finish off those creatures!
The Dragonborn drew her sword, blasted a chaurus away with a powerful lightning bolt spell, and charged another beast with the slashing might of the Stormblade. The sunlight was annoying, of course... but such a mere annoyance never stopped her from killing a handful of chaurus. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Start H: 4/4 E: 30/30 (Boosted by Mage's Circlet)
8 stones (Efficient) into Ranged Combat (Spells, Precise shots) plus 2 from Dragonforce, and 4 from Lightning Bolt wpn.mod; 2 into Defense, the rest into a 12 stones (2x damage) lightning bolt VS a chaurus.
9 stones (Efficient) into Close Combat (Swords, Fighting multiple opponents) plus 2 from Dragonforce, plus 3 from the Stormblade; 2 into defense, the rest into a 12 stones (AP) attack VS another Chaurus.
End E: 18/30 Defense: 11 (3 Ref.Dodge, 2 Toughness, 2 Vampire Royal Armor, 4 actions) Mental Defense: 11 (6 Intelligence, 5 Mental Defense) Magical Defense +3 Cold Defense +4 Immune to Diseases and Poisons

(Correct early morning sun.)
"Mamo!" It yells freezing over another pair of Charus with what looks like a frostbite spell on elixer.
You cut down another Charus and blast another with lightning as the rest of the group start to retreat back into the hidden tunnels from whence they came. As Odahviing and Black Widow land. Mamoswine notices them, and starts to charge. But stops as it notices it's not attacking either of you.

The vampire walked up to the Pokemon, unaware of its true nature, but discovering a certain level of interest for it.
-It may look like a strange animal, she said to Widow and Odahviing, but it seems capable of speech, and recognizing friend from foe. This creature is smarter than most beasts, at the very least.
She approached it carefully, trying not to anger it or frighten it. She did not want to have to kill it, whatever it was.
-You seem to understand that I am no enemy. Are you capable of human speech? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 6 stones into Social Skills (Kind and cheerful) plus 3 from Attractive, into attempting to communicate with the Mamoswine.
7 stones into Acrobatics, plus 2 from Dragonforce, all into defense in case it doesn't react well. ^_^

"Mamo!" It huffs a bit.
"It's a Pokemon." Widow says. "We have several species of them in my world, they can only say their own species' name."
