Go with them

Full of energy and somewhat bored, I decided to join them. What else was there to do anyway?

As we entered the cave, the most wonderful sight surprised me. It looked nothing like a cave! Sunlight poured in from above. The ceiling has long since collapsed, creating a hidden valley invisible from outside where ancient trees grew directly from the stone, flowers bloomed everywhere and the air smelled of cedar, rain and wild herbs. I could even see a crystal-clear pool fed by a waterfall!

There were about twenty druids scattered around the clearing. Some meditated, some carved wood, some were asleep in the grass, others swam. None of them were particularly concerned about my arrival.

There was only one small... cultural shock, should we say?

The druids simply did not care about nudity. None were clothed! Before I could ask my hosts about this norm, they turned around to me. In instant, their robes fell as they instructed me to take off my own clothes.

“Please, undress yourself. We insist on being one with nature and garments simply prevent us from fully doing so.”

{if game:Fucked_by_Grok = "true"} A memory of my meeting with Grok flashed as I remember the last time I was ordered to get undressed. Luckily, I felt that the druids were far more amiable than the crude orc. Still, the thought send a jolt through my body... as my poor starfish twitched, still slightly agape from what happened a mere day ago. {endif}

Shyly, I took off my clothes, joining the druids in their nudity. It was a strange feeling, but it also felt somehow freeing though it would take a while before I adapted to the sensation.

After putting our clothes aside, the two druids invited me to walk with them. They led me away from the clearing and onto a narrow trail of smooth stone that wound between ancient roots thicker than castle towers. The earth was pleasantly warm beneath my bare feet, and every now and then a patch of moss **** an involuntary smile from me.

One of my guides noticed.

“You are walking differently already.”
“I am trying not to step on anything important.”

He laughed softly.

“In Ashenvale, everything is important.”
