A dance with the devil in the pale moonlight.

You were about to make your way to the gang of broke humans, when you see a tall, slender thing approached you, her hips swaying side to side with each step. Remarkably, a dark elf, her skin reminiscent of a cloudy sky at night; her long white hair, that of a full moon. She was the first of her kind that you'd ever met in person. You feel apprehensive as she comes close, fearing her and her species' reputation. All manner of things have been said about drow at noble events over the years, none of them good. You instead remain by the bar, taking a swift drink of your obligatory beer.

"Hello there" She said with a smile as she straddled the bar close to you, leaning against with an elbow "You'll have to forgive me for my bad manners, but I couldn't help myself but eavesdrop. Sounds like you've got quite the problem."

"That's right."

"And time is of the essence?"

"Yes ma'am." You nod slowly

"Please, no need for that formality. You can simply call me Joan."

You can't stop your face from showing your surprise "That's a nice name. Unexpectedly human."

"Yes, well, I wouldn't think the only Orc noble in this part of the world would fault ingratiating with the locals."

"You know who I am?" You ask, dumbfounded. Joan simply nods at first

"It's not hard to figure out, when you're in the business of knowing. Very few people walk around town dressed as nicely as you do."

"Point taken. I'm just not used to strangers being immediately familiar with who I am."

"But I take it you've had some taste of strangers believing they know who you are already based on your heritage?"

"You could say that" You reply with a smile. "Nobles try to be gentle about it, but I've gotten a sense that I'm not welcome by anyone but the Royal Family. After today, not even that."

Joan's courteous smile grew dramatically at this revelation "So, that wouldn't happen to have anything to do with your little escapade, could it? The powerful you once trusted have wronged you, and now you want payback?"

"No, nothing like that." You reply

"Well, a girl can dream, I guess. What's your mission that doesn't involve giving the ruling class exactly what they deserve?"

"A rescue" You say quickly. Seeing Joan's eyes squint at you, you feel compelled to divulge more "The King has kidnapped someone and is sending them away from the kingdom in the morning. I have...We, have to stop them."

"Well now, that does sound important, as well as dangerous. I see your concern. I'll help you Silve, and do so free of charge. I just have to ask you one question."

"Yes, of course, anything."

"How's your swordsmanship?"

"I know my way around a shortsword a rapier. I've beaten the prince a number of times fencing."

"No, not that" She says as she invades your privacy, grabbing your crotch and finding your cock easily. You resist an urge to move away. "Your _other _sword work"

"I've gotten my work out for the day" You say with an awkward smile "but still capable."

"Providence" She said "You show me how capable you are, and I'll help your little rescue plan."
