Chapter 9: Sunwielder's Shyness
Sophia wasn't very comfortable with being alone today. Mostly because she still had to be completely naked and there wasn't a firewielder to support her and redirect the gawkers' attention to her own naked body. That said, she chose this route herself when she learned Katrina will be assisting Gunther in questioning that crazed archmage. Sophia just couldn't bear to see that dungeon again.
"Here's your order, ma'am," the cute waitress sang as she placed a cup of tea in front of the naked blonde.
"T-thank you," Sophia replied and took a careful sip to not burn herself, thinking about how great it is to be heatproof like her new friend.
The waitress made a joke about Sophia's pockets, to which the blonde laughed, albeit nervously. As she turned around, the priestess could see a change in the girl's wardrobe: now, instead of a dress, she was wearing a slightly shorter skirt, and her upper body was only covered by a bra. Seems like Katrina's lifestyle affected other residents as well. Sophia felt her magical energy grow a bit when the morning sunrays filled the entire dining area which was, thankfully, almost completely empty. Here, with one of her arms covering her breasts and her legs crossed, Sophia almost didn't feel exposed. Almost.
It was a brief moment of calmness, but then a sudden realization hit the blonde girl like a carriage. Today was the third day of the week, it was time for the regular sun salutation! Every sunwielder had to do it once in a while to strengthen their connection with the solar entity they considered to be a manifestation of their god. And for the first time, Sophia will have to do the salute completely naked! It was a very scary thought, and the girl even considered skipping this one and staying indoors for today. Yet, the guilt she'd feel for missing out on the ritual and letting down her partner (who expected a full-fledged magic wielder on her side) would be even greater than her shame. A tough decision, it made her knees weak and her arms shaky before she even walked outside.
But then, a loud group of young adults from the local university, who probably skipped today's classes, stormed into the inn and instantly made poor Sophia the center of their attention. The dining area became a horrible place filled with their chuckles, whispers and various comments towards Sophia's naked body. She had to leave imediatelly. Thankfully, there was a nice secluded backyard nearby, neatly tucked between two large buildings. Sophia quickly ran here and hid under a large tree, feeling protected by its mighty branches. Her face became rosy again and her breath became hectic, but she calmed down as soon as she felt the soft grass with her bare feet and backside.
"How does Katrina even do it?" Sophia asked herself, full of nervous agitation.
After a minute, the priestess looked around again, to make sure nobody was watching her. It was quiet and empty outside. With sunrays and a gentle breeze as her only companions, Sophia stood up and forced herself to start doing the sun salutation by an act of will. It didn't go easy, though, as the shy girl kept looking over her shoulder and worrying about people's gazes. Still, she threw her hands up to the sky and stood upright, trying to concentrate on her love to the sun.
The salutations were akin to stretches but carefully selected to generate the best magical flow within the body. As Sophia began bending her body and changing poses, she could feel her energy grow and her connection with the universe deepen. Although her breasts kept jiggling and distracting her, it was harder to get used to than Katrina made it seem.
One leg forward, then another, then a stretch, then laying down on her belly, feeling the grass playfully tickle her bare skin before she bents backward and turns her gaze towards the sun again... It was akin to a rhythm. Surprisingly, it went quite well with Sophia being butt-naked, maybe it was worth showing the moves to Katrina sometime and do them as a duo? This thought made Sophia even rosier than before, it was very odd for the blonde to think like that. She tried her best to concentrate on the moves, her unity with the solar god, and her magic.
"Wow," someone's voice interrupted the blonde's train of thought.
She flinched and turned around, ready to cover herself up again. There was an older man, most likely a street cleaner, standing behind the tree-lined fence, looking at her with enjoyment. As soon as the scared priestess looked at him, he made sure to hide his gaze and returned to his broom. Sophia's first thought was to run away and hide somewhere in her room. But, as she thought about her bold redhead companion, she found some willpower to continue.
Just concentrate on the magic, don't think about the gaze. That piercing, revealing gaze... Sophia kept stretching, attracting even more attention from the rare passersby. And there was enough to keep their attention, too: her slim, fit body moved in a beautiful fashion, with her taut butt rising up when she bent over to do the next move and her majestic boobies bouncing in response to each pose she assumed. Observing her sun-colored naked figure was almost hypnotic, more and more people stopped to look at the beautiful elven nudist, whose cheeks got rosier and rosier, showing her immense embarrassment. Finally, she bent once more and a dozen of people who gathered behind the fence couldn't contain in anymore.
"Wow, nice!"
"You go, girl!"
"Amazing! Glory to the Solar God!"
Sophia turned towards her audience and gulped, feeling her knees becoming weak again under their allured gazes. All of the willpower she had mastered seemed to have evaporated in a second. The girl covered her privates and mumbled something incoherent, struggling even with speech. One of the folks stepped forward, probably just to say hello, but even this was enough to set Sophia off.
"B-bye!" She said and bolted away from the yard, unable to keep this nervousness within any longer.
As she exited the garden and felt cold cobblestone under her bare feet, the priestess started to look for the inn's door, her gaze chaotically darting across the street. Yet, she couldn't see it. Instead, there were residential buildings, some workshops and some pedestrians here and there.
"Oh no, I ran the wrong way!" She thought to herself and immediately heard another whistle from one of the passersby.
Of course, many people have already seen them with Katrina naked, but the majority still didn't get used to it, nor did they care why the girls decided to go around in the buff. All eyes were on Sophia, it was akin to a nightmare. In a burst of panic she ran away, unknowingly going farther and farther from her safe haven. A beautiful blondie running naked on the street with her hands on her privates was a very interesting sight for many.
