"Okay," Telva said, taking a pinch of the powder. She bit her lower lip as she tried to remember the right amount. She liked trying new potions, but her memory wasn't the best, and the broken veils scattered on her worktable were testament to that. Her red eyes closed as she thought back to what she had read four years ago in her father's laboratory. When she had watched him work magic, some of the spells wouldn't come to her.
Four years ago, Telva had been the youngest daughter of a small noble house in the underdark city of DroXun. She had slaves to care for her and modest riches to use for her pleasure. That was before her mother had made a stronger house angry with theirs. Her house was destroyed, and most of her family murdered. Telva had barely made it out before the assassins breached the upper levels of her house and escaped to the world above. After wandering for days, she found a nice small cave near a village to make her home. A short way outside was a pond with a small waterfall emptying into it. Last year, she had found an underwater entrance to her cave while swimming around in the warm water of the pond.
She loved living in her cave. It was quiet and nobody was around to make her wear clothes. Telva hated wearing clothes and loved being naked, the way the cool air of the cave or the warm light of the sun felt on her smooth obsidian skin making her happy. Another benefit was that her skin was easier to clean when her potions blew up and clothes made it harder for her arms to move to cast spells. The only time she wore clothes was when she went into town for supplies and to sell her potions. But she hated going to town because the city watch didn't like the amount of attention that she drew from walking around neutrally. Telva didn't mind the attention most of the males in the village gave her. It made for some fun nights after she sold her potions and made her way to the tavern. Between the male patrons in the tavern and the few local teenage boys who snuck up to her cave for a peek at the naked drow, Telve had a good sex life. And she didn't care what race they were, just as long as they wanted to and were good at sex.
Two! Telva smiled her warm smile as she remembered the right amount. Dropping two pinches in, she looked into the bowl and waited. As she looked, a puff of gray smoke came out of the bowl and then with a pop, the bowl shattered in a ball of smoke. Telva coughed as she waved the smoke away. Maybe it was three? As the smoke cleared, Telva looked down at her naked body. It was covered in soot from her flat tummy up past her small breasts up to her face. Even her long silver-white hair was covered in it. Well, it's time for a bath again. She said with a shrug and turned towards the mouth of the cave.
As Telva walked out of the mouth of the cave, trying to brush off the soot, the sun wasn't high over head, which would make it easier for her to see. As she walked out in the warm sun, Telva could see in color how bad her skin was covered. Great, now I'm a gray elf. She said, rolling her red eyes. Walking the few paces to the edge of the pond, she looked at the small waterfall. Then, with a smile, she slowly walked into the warm water and moaned with delight. It felt great on her smooth, naked obsidian skin. When she was up to her thigh, she dove in and swam out into the pond. The waterfall churned the water, helping her to clean the soot off her body. She swam to the surface and rubbed the water out of her eyes before looking at her hands. Now I'm dark again. She said, giggling as she swam backwards in the pond, letting the warm water play over her smooth, naked body.<|im_end|>
The trees near the water's edge rustled as something made its way through. It was a human, a good half foot taller than Telva at that. A steely sword cut its way through the thick foliage and the man eventually emerged from behind the trees. He was a caucasian human with unkempt light brown hair. He had the face of a thinker, but his apparel betrayed that. He was wearing a tan tunic with full-body chainmail beneath it, a belt around his waist that held a bag at his right side and the scabbard for his sword on his back. A small shield was buckled to his left arm so that his left hand was free, but still had protection.
The adventurer surveyed the water before him and quickly noticed that he was not alone. There was another person in the water...a very dark-skinned one at that. He observed to find that this was a naked female drow elf. Wait a minute, she was naked!? This was a sight to see! He tried hiding behind a tree to watch her in secret, but the clinking of his chainmail made him bad at sneaking.<|im_end|>
