The Adventures of Liliri and Nairana Chapter 16 - Unpleasant Surprise

When the illustrious pair finally entered Gadgetzan, the first thing that caught their attention was a throng of children, ringed around a human.
Intrigued, the two women walked over to him, to see what all the fuzz was about.
He looked like a mage, Liliri thought, dressed in a long red robe with a pointy red hat. However, his trade seemed pretty different from the usual battle mage. He rather seemed to be an entertainer of sorts.
Before him, he had several buckets that were filled with a differently colored, slimy, watery substance each.
When the two girls approached, he just had two hands in a bucket with milky white liquid in it. He was stirring and murmuring some phrases, that seemed more like babbling in a self-invented language to impress the onlookers than actual magic to the young elven priestess.
However, at least some of his words seemed to have an actual effect, for there were visible and audible effects in the form of swirls and sparks visible in the substance near his hands.
After a few minutes of this show, his incantations and hand motions reaching a crescendo, he finally pulled his hands out of the substance, holding some white object between them.
When he had shaken excess fluid off of it and presented it to his audience, the children erupted in cheer, and Liliri could see that the white object he was holding resembled a little kitten. It still looked somewhat like the liquid, milky white and partly translucent, but seemed solid enough.
He gave the little statuette to a small orcish boy, who quickly earned some envious looks from the other children, but before a conflict could rise, the mage put his hands again into one of his buckets and began stirring and chanting, the eyes of the children surrounding him soon watching him intently.
The liquid in this bucket was almost completely translucent, with a tint of blue, and Liliri could clearly see that he hadn't hidden a figurine inside the bucket.
But as before, after a while of stirring and murmuring, he pulled an animal figurine out of the liquid, this one resembling some kind of snake with fins. Liliri was honestly impressed how he could form the liquid like this with his magic and produce so elaborate shapes.

Still admiring the strange magic, a whistle from somewhere behind her suddenly startled the young nightelf.
She turned around, just in time to see a blue skinned troll give her a weird grin.
"What was that about?", she asked, turning toward Nairana, but the draenei just shrugged.

They decided to start their business in Gadgetzan by looking for the goblin who had told Nairana he would pay for pirate ears.
But Gadgetzan seemed strange on this day to the young priestess, because they barely had started walking, when a weird looking pink-haired and bearded gnome gave her a whistle too, and a lewd look to boot.
Nairana giggled. "I guess they just think you're hot".
But Liliri wasn't so sure. Her robe was dirty from the desert sand, her hair probably looked terrible, and she was sweaty all over. And besides, never before had someone whistled at her like this. And now two people in such a short while? 'What is going on?', the priestess wondered.

While they walked the streets of Gadgetzan, Liliri watched the people around her. Something was definitely amiss. Many people gave her weird looks. Mainly the men, but some women as well. One, a brutish orc woman that looked like a warrior, looked at her and visibly licked her lips. Liliri shuddered. She wanted to leave the town as soon as possible, but first they had to finish their business.

Finally they reached the hut of the goblin who was paying adventurers to take care of the pirate problem.
The goblin, a three foot tall dark green skinned older looking male with a patch over one eye, looked them over.
His gaze on Liliri, he looked like he was recognizing her, but not knowing from where. Obviously giving up, he shook his head and turned his one good eye at Nairana.
"Ah! I remember you! Any luck pirate hunting?"
Nairana produced a little cloth bag, in which she had collected the ears of the pirates they had killed before they had found the treasure map on one of them, and let it fall down in front of the goblin.
He eagerly opened it and started to count the ears.
"48 ears, that means... let me think.. ah.. right.. 24! 24 pirates dead! Very good. That's 24 gold pieces for you then! One moment."
He briefly ran to the back of his hut, coming back with a purse, from which he then counted 24 gold pieces and gave them to Nairana.
"Very good. And remember, there's always more gold for more pirate ears!"
Nairana thanked the goblin, and they started to walk out. Just before they reached the door, a stout nightelf entered the hut. He gave Liliri a nod, from elf to elf. She gave him a courteous smile, then proceeded to walk out the door. But feeling the man staring at her, she looked back, just a moment before stepping outside, and saw the elf's eyes widen in recognition.
Obviously addressing the goblin, Liliri heard him say "Say, wasn't that the girl from", but the rest of his words were drowned in the noise from what looked like a brawl between an orc and a troll further down the street.

Liliri was almost angry, not knowing why everyone in the city behaved so weirdly towards her. She was sure she'd never seen the male elf before, so where did he know her from? And why were so many people shooting her lewd looks and grins, or even whistling at her? Something was definitely wrong, and she needed to know what.

Nairana suggested to go to the tavern next. Perhaps they could ask someone there what was going on. And they'd need to go there anyway, since it would probably the best place to make their 'treasure', the bottle of rum they dug up, to money.

Liliri was a bit apprehensive to enter the tavern, since when people in the streets were already whistling and grinning at her for some reason, what would the drunkards inside do?
But she let Nairana lead her inside. It was filled with people, mostly men, of all races. But the tables were only sparsely filled, with the majority of the patrons all crowded around one table in the back, not paying any attention to their surroundings.

But one dwarf, sitting alone on a table, his head in the direction of the door, was looking at her now, she noticed. Then he suddenly sprang up. "It's her!", he almost yelled.
At least three dozen heads inside the tavern turned at once, all looking at her now. Silence fell over them. Liliri gulped and unconsciously grabbed Nairana's hand.
Then the people started whispering. "It's her?". "Is it really her?". "Ya it's dat elf!". And some whispers in orcish or some language she didn't understand.
Then they started cheering at her, and yelling, "It's her!". "Woohoo it's the elf!". "Aye, dat's the girl!"

Liliri was flabbergasted. She had no idea what was happening.
But then, her eyes now adjusted to the gloom of the tavern, and for the first time not looking at the people, her gaze wandered to the wall above the table they had all been crowded around.
And her knees went soft, and her throat became dry.
For on that wall above the table, there hang a picture, at least two feet in height and one in width. Big enough to clearly make out the elven figure on it. An elven figure next to a fire. A nude elven figure next to a fire. Her. It was her. It was the picture the goblin with the weird machine had made of her three nights earlier. But how was that possible? He had given them the picture. It was somewhere secure in Nairana's bag. And it was so small. How did the picture get here? And how did it get so big?
'Well, at least that explains the weird behavior from everyone', the elf thought, resigned.

But her draenei friend wasn't so quick to accept fate.
Bow drawn, she stormed forward towards the crowd, which quickly parted to make way for her, revealing a certain goblin she remembered all to well, cowering behind the table, which was filled with a whole stack of the big paper sheets with the naked Liliri on it, and a mass of coins.
"You! How..", she started yelling at the goblin who had snatched the image of Liliri a few nights before, but the green skinned creature, terror in his eyes, not hidden behind the throng of people eagerly buying his pictures anymore, quickly dashed out from his hiding spot, ran behind a towering orc and quickly out some small backdoor of the tavern, his gold and pictures quickly forgotten in the face of Nairana's bow and arrow.

With a snarl, Nairana shouldered her bow and grabbed the stack of images on the table, studying them.
Liliri was still terrified. "How is that possible? He gave you the picture!"
"It seems the lying rat had another one. And some machine to copy and enlarge it. Darn engineers!"
"What do we do now? With the pictures I mean."
Nairana thought for a moment, before shocking Liliri by answering, "We sell them!"
"What?", Liliri was exasperated. Selling nude images of her? Was Nairana serious?

The bystanders, intently listening to their conversation, were quick to support Nairana's decision.
"We paid the goblin ten gold pieces per picture. We're more than willing to pay you the same!", a rogueish looking gnome offered.
"You hear that Lili? We spent hours killing pirates for just twenty pieces. With this..", she quickly thumbed through the stack of paper, "we'll make at least two hundred! Think about the nice things we could buy!"
"I don't know", Liliri answered, not exactly thrilled by the idea of selling the images, although the money would be nice, she had to admit to herself.
"Come on Lili, what do you think how many of those pictures the greenskin sold already, with everyone in the streets obviously knowing you. These few more now don't make a change. Besides, these pictures are far too good to throw them away!". She lasciviously let her fingers brush over Liliri's nude form on the top picture.

But the draenei was right, she thought. Half of Gadgetzan seemed to have seen the picture already, so a few more didn't matter much, but they would bring in some nice money. And it served the goblin right that they would at least profit a little bit from his thievery.
She sighed.
"Well then, let's do it."
Nairana gave her a wide grin, and those surrounding the women and hearing the elf speak, started to cheer, and hold their coins at the girls.
It took mere minutes, until the stack had been reduced to a single picture, which Nairana quickly rolled up and put in her own bag, giving Liliri a lewd grin while doing so.
But the crowd was not so happy. Many faces were grinning, having gotten one of the prized pieces of paper with the beautiful naked elf on it, but there were still some who hadn't gotten one.
And those quickly came up with a new idea.
A troll was the first one to chant, in broken common, "Strip! Strip! Strip!"

The Adventures of Liliri and Nairana Chapter 15 - Return to Gadgetzan

After two days' travel after their not so fruitful pirate's treasure hunt, Liliri and Nairana could make out the walls of Gadgetzan rising out of the desert in the distance.
Liliri mused how different she was now from when they had set out from the city four days earlier.
When the pair had left the city's walls, the young elven priestess had been introverted, shy, inexperienced, and inhibited.
They had simply set out to help take care of the pirate problem the goblins were hiring adventures for, but when they found a treasure map on a dead pirate, everything had changed.
Not that the treasure had been worthwhile, it being only a bottle of rum as they had had to discover, but, as often in life, it was the journey that counted, rather than the destination.
For during their journey together, the kinky huntress had somehow managed to completely turn her around, freeing a side of her personality she never knew existed. A sexual, kinky side.
The elf still couldn't believe the things she had done with the draenei. Or let the draenei do to her. Or let the draenei talk her into. Before meeting Nairana, she'd never thought she'd ever do such things. Getting tailfucked in her throat, pussy and ass by the draenei. Letting a male do the same things while Nairana was watching. Drinking her own and the draenei's pee.
But now, she'd done all those things. And she had thoroughly enjoyed them all, which was the most incredulous thing to her.
She'd never before been attracted to females, but she was as attracted now to Nairana as she had ever been to a man.
And she'd agreed to be the draenei's 'pet', doing whatever she told her to, in exchange for being 'taught' all those things, most of which she would never have imagined that they could arouse her, but of which she now couldn't get enough anymore.

A terrible thought sprang into her mind. They were returning to Gadgetzan, almost there now. Their adventure was over.
What if Nairana had meant for their 'pet' and 'teacher' roles, perhaps for their whole companionship, to only last for this one adventure, if following a treasure map that led them to a bottle of alcohol could even be called an adventure.
But what if Nairana intended to leave her in Gadgetzan, setting out on her own again?

She didn't want it to end. Didn't want to be the shy, introverted priestess again, for she somehow felt sure that without Nairana, she would quickly return to be her former self again. Nairana just made her do those kinky things she now loved so much, but she doubted that she herself would be able to initiate anything the like, with a stranger.
And there was more, she thought. It wasn't only the sex and fun they had together, the thrill of letting loose by playing the draenei's pet, and her physical attraction to the huntress.
There were more, deeper feelings. After only knowing the draenei for four days, she already considered Nairana the best friend she'd ever had. And more than just a friend. She had stronger feelings for her than she'd even had for the male priest she'd had a crush on a long time ago. To the best of her knowledge, what she was feeling for Nairana was love.

And she knew that she didn't want to be separated from her. Love or friendship, sex or not, she being the draenei's 'pet' or not, she didn't care, if she could just be with her. Although she'd much prefer keeping everything as it was right now, being able to experience so much excitement, fun, and pleasure, in her role as obedient 'pet', she had to admit to herself.

Nairana, obviously noticing her state of mind, woke her from her thoughts.
"What is it Lili, you suddenly look so sad. Is everything all right?"
"Oh yes, sure, it's just.. the heat", she answered, forcing a smile, not knowing how she should best bring up her fears.
What if the draenei really wanted to leave her in Gadgetzan? But what would she be able to do about it? Would she fall on her knees and beg Nairana to take her with her, wherever she intended to go? How would the draenei react to this? Would she just laugh at her, the insecure priestess?
No, the huntress would never do something like this to her, Liliri thought, the draenei had been a much too lovely friend. But she was also a free spirit. Would she really want to keep the elf with her? And if left alone by her, how would she be able to cope with it, after having had the greatest time of her life with the draenei? She was near despair.
And the walls of Gadgetzan grew ever nearer. The official end of their adventure mere minutes away.

Lost in her desperate thoughts, she barely noticed Nairana stopping and saying something to her.
"Uh sorry, what did you say?", she asked the draenei.
"Lili.. can we talk for a moment, please. And sit down for a moment?"
"S.. sure.", the elf stuttered, her heart sinking. 'That's it', she thought, 'now she'll tell me that this is were our paths will divide'. She felt the blood drained from her face, and her throat growing dry.

"Listen, Lili..", the huntress began, "I just want you to know that i really, really enjoyed the last days.. with you. I just wanted to tell you this while we're still alone, before we enter the city. And i think.. i should apologize."
"Apologize? For what?", Liliri answered, wondering if the answer would now be, "for parting ways with you now".
"For using you so for my own enjoyment. Yes, I honestly did want to help you. Help you gain some experience. Help you open up a bit. But I had so much fun with you.. and pleasure.. and I wanted to apologize for being so demanding, and making you do so many crazy things.. and making you my 'pet'. I just fear it was all.. too much. And now.. we're back from our 'adventure'.. and you will probably want to end this here.. stop being my 'pet', perhaps..", she sighed sadly, "even stop being with me. And I.. I would understand, but the truth is.. I like you. I like you so much. I like you more than you can imagine. You don't need to play my 'pet' anymore, you don't need to do anything for me at all, but.. please don't let this be our only adventure. Or don't mind adventure. Just please don't let this be the end. I..". For the first time Liliri saw the draenei looking unsure. Her eyes darted around for a while, until settling on Liliri's orbs. They were glistening with wetness. Then she continued, "I love you, Lili."

And Liliri couldn't believe the words she was hearing. The draenei must have harbored the same fears she had. And then she had squashed all of the elf's fears with those beautiful words. It was her dream come true. She felt tears welling up in her own eyes.
"I love you too, Naira!", she said, her voice almost breaking, half cry, half whisper. Then she jumped in the draenei's lap, throwing her arms around her and burying her head in the huntress' neck, before raising her face to meet Nairana's lips for a kiss.

They promised each other to stay together, and for a long time they hugged and kissed, not a kiss of sexual desire or lust, but one of honest love.
Eventually they left each others arms, to finish their walk towards the city.
Liliri was more happy than ever before. Not only would they continue to adventure together, but they would stay together. And not only as best friends, but also as lovers.
In the young nightelf's eyes, there was now only one thing missing to make it all perfect.
And Nairana, who was the first to shoulder her bag, gave her a good opportunity to state her wish, when, with a warm, loving smile, she asked her "Are you coming my love?".
"I'm coming. And I'll follow you to the end of the world! If you'll have me as a lover.. and a pet", she answered with a sheepish smile.
Nairana gave a little laugh, walked over to her and gave a sweet kiss, before looking deep into her eyes and saying, "Always".
And life was perfect for the young nightelf.

The Adventures of Liliri and Nairana Chapter 6 - A Goblin's Luck

But Nairana wasn't the only one getting the best show of her life, for in the darkness beyond the light of the campfire, hidden behind a large rock, a goblin was watching too.

Glibzbit couldn't believe his luck.
This morning, he had finally gotten the object of his desire, which he believed would make him rich.
The SuperSnapper FX was the latest achievement of goblin engineering ingenuity, the first "virtual realistic non-fairy-or-other-small-creature-driven definitely-designed-by-a-true-goblin-and-not-a-stinking-smelly-little-hairy-gnome automagical image producing device the world had ever seen".
Unfortunately it's cost was calculated by the length of it's slogan, which was the reason why it had taken Glibzbit more than two months to raise the money to buy it. Actually added to that came another month's work for the money to buy the not-included "never-ending supra-magical also-designed-by-a-true-goblin-and-not-one-of-them-darn-stinking-gnomes-who-steal-our-designs imaging paper roll".
But now he finally owned it, and could execute his masterplan.

While all those stupid adventurers who somehow managed to afford a SuperSnapper FX went into the hinterlands to make a picture of that old turtle Gammerita, he himself was much more intelligent and wise.
This was why, instead of going to the hinterlands, he was travelling to Land's End beach at the south tip of Tanaris, to find and supersnap the legendary El Gummerito, a turtle so fierce that she had once eaten everyone in an entire goblin village.
At least that was the story his great-grandfather had told him when he was a little kid.
Admittedly, his great-grandfather was also seeing some legendary goblin eating turtle in his own house in some nights, which coincided with those nights where he had spent the evening in the tavern.
But Glibzbit was very sure that El Gummerito actually existed, or his great-grandfather surely wouldn't have told him about it.
And he was about to prove it to them all!
Now he had the SuperSnapper FX, which came with a guarantee to be able to produce an image of any creature, living or undead, before said creature could eat the operator of the SuperSnapper, a problem that had long persisted with previous imaging devices, which usually consisted of a wooden box with a fairy inside, which usually took way too long to draw anything, resulting in the untimely death of those users who tried to supersnap aggressive creatures without adequate protection.
But with the new SuperSnapper FX, one could supersnap, and immediately start running away! Truly an exceptional achievement of goblin technology.

So now, armed with his futuristic device, he was going to find the turtle of terror, supersnap it, and return a hero to his village! And get very rich!
He was going to sell copies of the image of El Gummerito, and the year before he had invested all of his gold into some goblin who was working on the SuperShop FX, a machine which would make it possible to combine two supersnapped images. With that he would be able to supersnap anyone who paid him, and then use the SuperShop FX to make it look like that person was actually riding on the mighty El Gummerito!
This was the best business idea in the history of all goblins, and even all those hairy gnomes would envy him for it!
Yes, he would become the most famous and rich goblin the world had ever seen!

So lost in these thoughts had he been that at first he didn't even notice the shine of a fire in the distance.
But, getting his bearings, he now became more careful. After all, there could be someone who wanted to steal his business idea at that fire, and he certainly didn't want that to happen!
He slowly crept nearer to the fire, which was blocked from his sight by a huge rock.
Once he had reached the rock, he peeked around it.
And his jaw hit the ground.
There were two women there, a draenei and an elf. The elf was sitting at the fire, but the draenei, she was dancing in front of it. And she was almost naked!
He couldn't believe it.
Of course he had seen some naked goblin women in his life, but never anything like this. The draenei was looking gorgeous even from afar. And now she dropped her undershirt!
He had never before seen quite anything like it. In fact, it was the best thing he'd ever seen.
He couldn't stop watching. Now the elf was moving towards the draenei and doing something he couldn't properly see from his vantage point, but understood when the draenei's panties fell to the ground.
And now the elf got up, and began to dance.
This was the best thing ever to happen to him, he thought.
The purple haired elf stripped herself of her robe and produced a most beautiful, albeit small breasted body.
Glibzbit couldn't believe his luck.

Enthralled by the erotic view, but still a greedy goblin, he briefly wondered if he should approach them once they were finished and try to talk them into visiting him and buying an image of them riding El Gummerito once he had opened his business.
Then it dawned on him. He had been wrong all the time!
Supersnapping El Gummerito and selling images with him wasn't the best business idea in the world after all.
Because what would people, or at least men, want to buy even more than a picture of them riding El Gummerito?
A picture of them standing next to a naked woman of course!
Or even a picture of just a naked woman!
He already saw himself swimming in money. Yes, he truly was the greatest inventor and business genius in the history of the world!
Yes, he would supersnap the naked elf and sell copies of the picture to everyone and they would all call him a hero and make him rich! This was the best idea ever!
And this was the best day ever, giving him not only this greatest of all ideas, but also the opportunity to immediately start his business, without any delay.
But he had to be fast now, before the elf was finished with her dance.

He cursed himself for not having actually tried out his SuperSnapper FX before, but he had set out on his journey directly after the purchase and had intended to read the manual once he made camp for the night.
Now he had to hurry. He hastily unpacked his prized possession and opened it's manual, quickly skimming pages.
He inserted the supra-magical imaging paper roll into the SuperSnapper according to the instructions and screwed the Ultra-Optical-Enhancement-Lens into it's intended place.
When he looked through the little window on the back of the SuperSnapper, which he pointed towards the naked girls, he was delighted to see them as big through the lens as if he was standing right in front of them. The SuperSnapper FX was truly worth it's money!
He could make a great image from where he was, without needing to get nearer. Perfect.
He skimmed another few pages of the manual, working out how to activate the device.
Once he knew the correct order of buttons he had to press in order to have the SuperSnapper automatically produce a sharp image of what it was aimed at, the goblin took position, aimed at the dancing elf, and turned a little knob until the elf was filling out the whole of the little window through which he was looking.
Then he waited for the right moment. The elf had gotten completely nude meanwhile, still slowly dancing, and he intended to capture the whole goods, not just her back or side.
When she finally turned so that her chest was facing him, he hit the red button.
And his heart stopped for a moment.
When he hit the button, the SuperSnapper FX produced a bright flash like lightning, accompanied by a loud bang.
He didn't even curse himself for not testing the device earlier, or at least read the whole manual, so stunned was he.
He heard the elf scream, and saw her start running and jump behind the next rock.
But then he looked towards the draenei, who had been sitting at the fire, watching the elf dance. Now she was looking directly at him. He gave a yelp. The draenei jumped up, still naked, but, unlike the elf, she didn't hide.
'Oh no', he thought when he saw her pick up something that looked like a bow. He began to run.
She would kill him. He had no weapon to defend himself with, except his small hunting knife, and the scorned woman had a bow. And arrows.
In his panic he ran as fast as he could, somehow managing not to stumble over his short legs.

But the draenei was faster, having legs twice as long as the goblin was tall.
When an arrow grazed his hear, he stopped, threw himself on the ground and started yelling, "Please don't kill me! I didn't see anything! I didn't watch! Please don't kill me! I..i was just trying to catch something to eat! Please don't kill me! I have a family!"
Not feeling quite dead yet, he slowly turned around. The huntress stood above him, an arrow aiming directly at his face.
Only now did he notice that his hands were empty, having accidently dropped the SuperSnapper FX when he cowered down.
He threw his hands into the air and pleaded again, "Please don't kill me! I did nothing!"
"You shot at us!", the draenei sneered at him.
"What? No! I would never do such a thing!"
"We saw the flash and heard the bang. You used of those disgusting rifles and shot it at us! Where is it?"
She flexed the bowstring.
Glibzbit was weighing his options. He decided better not to tell the furious woman that he had snapped a picture of the naked elf, so he quickly concocted a lie.
"Uh, yes, it was a rifle, but i only tried to shoot some small rodent i've seen flitting around. For dinner! You know, they taste delicious! With salt and pepper..you should try some! I didn't even see you until after i fired at the animal! I swear! I'm a good person! Why would i try to shoot at someone as big as you?". He assumed a kitten like look with his face, staring with big pleading eyes at the draenei.
"Where's your rifle?", she asked him, the arrow still aiming at his heart.
"Uh..i threw it in the water! Yes, that's it! I was so surprised when i heard the scream and saw you coming at me, i just threw it away in reflex and i'm sure it must have landed somewhere in the water! So you see, even if i wanted to shoot at you, i couldn't do it anymore! When a rifle gets wet it doesn't work anymore!", he looked happy, pleased with himself for his good lie.
He wasn't sure if the draenei believed him, but at least she was lowering her bow now.
She was eyeing him for a while, before letting out a small sigh, and said, "Well, even with a rifle you'd be no threat to me. So i guess i'll let you go. Perhaps you're even telling the truth."
Glibzbit nodded eagerly in agreement, relieved to be safe.

But then his face turned ashen, when suddenly a little 'ding' sound came from a few yards behind them, and both looked into the direction it came from, seeing the SuperSnapper FX lying on the ground, a small piece of paper protruding from it, barely visible in the moonlight.
"What's that?", the draenei asked him, already a new arrow in the bow and aimed at him.
"Uhhh..nothing", he replied, praying that she wouldn't find out what he had been up to. But he was out of luck.
The draenei slowly walked over to the SuperSnapper FX, never leaving him out of her sight.
Having reached it, she just threw a quick glance at it, and then, to his horror, said, "I've seen such a thing before. You can make images with that! That flash and sound..that wasn't a rifle, was it?". She glared at him.
He was desperately trying to come up with some lie, stammering gibberish, when the elf, fully dressed now, appeared behind the draenei.
"Lili, pick this up, will you", the draenei said to the elf, who obliged.
"What's this? There's a slip of paper coming out of it", she said and pulled the piece of paper out of the SuperSnapper FX.
Glibzbit knew exactly what was on that paper. If they found out they would surely kill him.
"That machine makes images when you point it at something. What's on the paper?", the draenei asked the elf.
"It looks like some image, but it's too dark here, i can't make it out".
"That's nothing, it's just an image of the ocean!", Glibzbit quickly said, hoping against all hope that they would just throw the picture away and not find out what exactly he had been supersnapping.
But the draenei was not one to be easily fooled.
"You're making an image of the ocean. At night? That makes no sense. Lili, let's get to the fire and look at it in the light. And you, goblin, move, or you're dead!"
Seeing his own end approaching, Glibzbit grudgingly followed the two to the fire.

Once there, the elf looked again at the paper, and gave a gasp, her eyes widening in terror.
"What is it?", the draenei, still intently watching him with bow drawn, asked.
"It's..it's..me", the elf stuttered.
"What? Let me see!", the draenei said to the elf, then to him, "and if you move you'll have an arrow in your back!"
The draenei took the picture from the elf and looked at it in the light of the fire.
"That little peeping tom!", the draenei said exasperated, and he felt his final moment approaching, closing his eyes.
But after a few seconds he was still alive, and carefully opened an eye to squint at the draenei.
To his wonder, the tall blue creature was not in the movements of releasing an arrow into him, but still looking at the picture. What was happening here? Why wasn't she killing him yet?
Then he understood, seeing the wanton look on the face of the draenei studying the picture in her hands intently, and began to see a way out of this predicament. If she hadn't killed him yet, perhaps she might let him live after all.

He threw himself to the ground and started to plead to the draenei.
"I admit it! I admit it all! I was on my way to the south beach to find and supersnap the legendary El Gummerito, when i came upon you. I was just about to approach you and wish you a good evening, when i noticed that you were..indecent. Of course i was about to turn right back, not wanting to intrude on your privacy, but..i couldn't! You may kill me for it if you must, but i simply wasn't able to take my eyes away from the grace and beauty of your friend! Alas i'm just a poor goblin, who never in his whole life has seen such a wondrous thing as an unclothed elf maiden! I simply couldn't turn my eyes away, however much i wanted to, on my honor! And then i remembered my prized SuperSnapper FX, which i had with me to capture the great El Gummerito on paper. I just couldn't stop my hands from using it to snap a picture of your beautiful friend! It happened almost from alone! I swear, on my life, that i just wanted to have something to remember the most glorious moment of my life, the picture was just for my very own private keeping, never to be shown to anyone else, i swear by whatever god or goddess you follow! You must admit it! No male in his right mind could ever pass up such an opportunity, so beautiful and enchanting is your elven friend!"
It was the longest and, in his opinion, best speech he had ever delivered. And it seemed he had hit the mark, when the draenei lowered her bow, and, looking at the elf, said, "Well, he has a point."
"What? He made a picture! Of me! In the nude!" the elf exclaimed.
But the draenei began to grin at the elf. "I wouldn't have passed up the chance!"
The elf made a facial expression he did not understand, but the draenei giggled at her.
Then she turned back to him, her face serious again.
"Well perhaps you are right. At least it's not a reason to kill you. But i'm keeping this!", she pointed at the picture in her hand, to which he was about to say something, but then decided not to press his luck anymore, and nodded in agreement.
"Are there any more? Pictures of her i mean", she asked him, her eyes piercing.
"Oh no, just that one. One flash and bang, one picture. That's all there is! I swear!"
"Hmpf. Well you can go then. But don't cross our paths again. Ever! Oh and also, i'm keeping this!"
She picked up the SuperSnapper FX, which the elf had earlier deposited near them before looking at the picture.
He couldn't stop himself from beginning to protest.
"Oh please no, it took me a whole year of work to afford it! Please, it's all i have, i need it! Take what you want from me, but please not my SuperSnapper.."
But before he could finish, the draenei cut him short.
"You can keep it. It's broken", she said, and shoved the contraption at him.
"What?"
He couldn't believe it. This couldn't be. But then he saw what the draenei had seen. The lens was broken. It must have happened when he had dropped the device.
He was near tears. How could such a great day turn out so terribly awful?
Now he had lost everything. The picture was gone, and his SuperSnapper FX broken.
The draenei, obviously amused at his misery, shooed him away.
"Now be gone, before i change my mind!"
She grabbed her bow, and he, broken SuperSnappef FX in his arms, decided that he should be happy to be alive, and took off.

Wallowing in his misery, trying to calculate how many days of work it would cost him to afford a replacement lens, he was about to put his SuperSnapper FX into his backpack, when he saw a button glowing slightly yellow, that he hadn't noticed earlier near the fire's light.
The symbols below the button, barely visible in the relative darkness, seemed to spell the word 'Repeat'.
He wondered what that button did and was about to hit it, when he hesitated, remembering what had happened the last time he had hit a button on the device.
He decided it prudent to first consult the manual, so he walked on for a while, making sure to be very far from the elf and her draenei companion, before setting camp and starting a fire.
When he consulted the manual and found the description of the yellow button, his heart started beating faster.
The description read: "Prints out the last image again".
And true enough, when he hit the button, with a slight whirring noise followed by a 'ding', the machine spat out another picture of the naked elf.
He jumped up, cheering.
He felt glorious. He'd become rich and famuous after all, he thought with the widest grin on his face.
