Popping the cork on the top of the vial and sniffing the contents, it had\u0026nbsp;\n\na decidedly sweet scent to it. \"And you're sure this is safe to drink?\" He casts a glance towards the tigress.\n\n\"Hm? Oh sure sure, of course it is... probably.\" She tapped her index finger to her lip as she seemed to think about it and watch him carefully.\n\nTaking a deep breath, Enek shrugged his shoulders and brought the vial to his lips. Tipping the thing back, he drained the purple liquid inside\u0026nbsp;\n\nwith two swallows before setting the now empty glass on the nearby countertop where Mistress Amarith sat. A sweet smell, but certainly not a\u0026nbsp;\n\nsweet taste. His face cringed in disgust as Enek stuck his tongue out. \"Blech, I've had road kill rad-scorpion that taste better you know?\"\n\nThe tigress paid him no heed however, she just stared at him, watching. That striped tail swishing energetically behind her as she took a sharp\u0026nbsp;\n\nbreath suddenly and smiled after a few moments. \"Ah ha! So that's the effect it has on a human.\" Amarith hopped off the counter to search around\u0026nbsp;\n\nthe room for something. \"I guess it's lucky he didn't go blind like the last one, hm.\" She idly spoke to herself, picking up a hand mirror and\u0026nbsp;\n\nreturning to his side.\n\n\"Wait, blindness? What exactly did you give me?\" Worry slowly grew in his chest. A tingling sensation itched behind his eyes as his vision seemed\u0026nbsp;\n\nto shift suddenly. Everything seemed the same but yet... different in a way that he couldn't describe.\n\nShrugging his question off, she held the hand mirror up for him. \"Not blindness, opposite for humans. The effects should have been obvious\u0026nbsp;\n\nhonestly.\" She looked down at herself before realization hit with a quiet. \"Oh, right..\"\n\nEnek's reflection told an interesting story as he gripped the cracked mirror to look at his eyes. Though around the edge he could still see the\u0026nbsp;\n\nhints of his hazel pupils, there was a splash of amethyst that dotted the majority of it now. \"Whoa whoa.. what did you do to me? Is this gonna\u0026nbsp;\n\nbe permanent?\" He pulled at his eyelid to see if there had been other effects across his now slightly bloodshot eye. That terrible itching\u0026nbsp;\n\nscreamed at him to rub his eyes, an urge he ignored for now.\n\nAmarith smiled, clearly pleased with herself as the tigress's tail continued to swish back and forth while her hands crossed beneath her generous\u0026nbsp;\n\nbreasts. \"Oh relax, the dosage should only last for a day at most if I counted it out correctly. Besides you'll find you quite like the effects\u0026nbsp;\n\nanyway.\" Picking up a notepad she scribbled a few notes on it. \"Go ahead and take a look at yourself, you'll understand I'm sure.\" She hummed\u0026nbsp;\n\nsoftly as she wrote.\n\nGlancing slowly at himself in the mirror, the aforementioned 'effects' were noticed. Enek didn't seeme to be wearing any clothes at the moment,\u0026nbsp;\n\nbut yet he could still feel them on his body. The slightest shimmer of an outline in his vision told him the material still covered him as Enek\u0026nbsp;\n\nrubbed his fingers across the flak jacket covering his chest. \"Holy shit, you created x-ray vision?\" He looked to Mistress Amarith.\n\nSetting the notepad down, she took the broken hand mirror from him. \"Well actually it's just material transparentcy. True x-ray is impossible, at\u0026nbsp;\n\nleast so far. And even this is just a byproduct of what's supposed to be a darkvision enhancer. It was supposed to increase certain races\u0026nbsp;\n\ninherent ability to see with no, to minimal light. In your case, my cute little first human test subject, it can't enhance what's not really\u0026nbsp;\n\nthere for you, so it pushes your vision to strange new places!\"\n\nThinking on this for a moment, a thought occured to Enek. \"Wait, if it's a byproduct in humans then how did you know it was going to happen to me\u0026nbsp;\n\nif I'm the first one to try it?\" Despite the fact that the tigress hadn't been wearing clothes anyway, he suddenly felt more embarrassed about\u0026nbsp;\n\nthe situation.\n\n\"Well I say first human, because my last subject wasn't full blooded human. I found out after the fact that his grandmother had been a kangroo-\n\nmorph actually. It's not my fault he looked so very human.\" Mistress Amarith shrugged. \"So he experienced the partial effect first before the\u0026nbsp;\n\nblindness set in and I was able to note it. The pupils changing is new however, I'm sure it'll go away when the potion dilutes in your blood\u0026nbsp;\n\nstream.\" She stretched her arms above her head. \"Now, where are my manners. Welcome to Mistress Amarith's Alchemy Lab, what can I do for you\u0026nbsp;\n\ntoday?\" She gave him a lopsided smile with a yawn.\n\nThe suddenness of it all caught him off guard and Enek stood there with his mouth slightly open like an idiot before coming to his senses. \"Oh\u0026nbsp;\n\nright, well I saw the advertisement and figured someone as enterprising as yourself might have a few open jobs or opportunities perhaps?\" He ran\u0026nbsp;\n\nhis fingers through the short mohawk.\n\n\"Hm? Well you kind of just did, here.\" She opened up a nearby cabinet and pulled out a few coins from a satchel inside. Taking his hand, she\u0026nbsp;\n\ndeposited two slightly faded, but golden coins. \"And actually now that you mention it, I could use some glow-shrooms. Just don't eat them or\u0026nbsp;\n\ntouch them with your bare hands on account of them being mildly radioactive though. I'll pay you an entire silver piece for each one you bring\u0026nbsp;\n\nback, unless... You'd like to test another potion that is?\" The tigress grins.\n\n\"I think one is enough for now, thanks.\" Enek smiled sheepishly.\n\n  \n  \n\n","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/807334-cyoa-rustwater-chronicles-pt4.json"}
