The city in the trees was in sight its cheery lamps flitted about by small silvery winded insects, the sweet sounds of light music waffted through the canopy of the forest as I aproached in darkness.
My goal, a bloodstone amulet was held secure in the fastnes of the elven city. Trapped within it was the essence of an arch-demon, my purpose was to gain the amulet. Not as some selfless service to my overlord, but as a way to further my own power at his expense. For a demon with the taint of mortal blood and birth I had to be more cunning than those lords of darkness if I were to rise. I, Aancyloch, son of a demon and a virgin mortal, intended to rise.
As I aproached I took a deep breath and let my natural ability to assume a pleasing guise overwhelm me. The pain was excruciating as my tail retracted into my body. I could feel my acrid bloo boiling as my skin paled from a sheer black coarseness to an elven softness. My bones, poped audibaly as they contracted to reduce my size to a pitiful elven stature.
Someone soon would have to pay for my discomfort, but with that I strode right through the growing gates of the city, ignored byt he guards my eyes glancing up at the tree tower of the elven wizard. To enter it myself would be folly, I would need permission.. But I hve heard that the old fool has a grand daughter that could serve my purposes completely.
