Iolana (http://th09.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/f/2010/181/6/f/Creature_of_Man_by_Aikurisu.jpg), adopted daughter of King Kaius III of Karrnath, and his Aerenai wife Queen Etrigani, was getting ready for her journey at the moment in her room. Wearing just a black silk robe, with a babydoll top and pair of panties under it, she'd stride about the room trying to make sure she had everything that she was going to need. The young elf had been surprised that her father had finally decided that she should go out into the world, and she knew that it had something to do with the appearance of the Cyran Lich, but instead of being frightened, the small girl was excited.<br/><br/>Armor, bedroll, clothes, rations, staff, and anything else she could think of all went into her bag. Which instead of the size you'd think would be needed for such gear, was a surprisingly small affair that could be easily strapped to a belt. Next she'd turn her attention to her outfit, moving to her closet to try and figure out what she should wear down to the tavern. Probably something eye catching as that was her preference, but also something that looked close to armor. Thinking about it a bit, she supposed she could just wear her armor, and add that loincloth style skirt she had that went along with it, those new boots she'd gotten would work wonders as well. So, after taking a bit of time to make sure everything was settled just right, the young elf would take a look in the mirror (http://enliighten.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/DE_Sorceress_Daarken.jpg).<br/><br/>Thinking about the situation a bit more however, Iolana figured it would be a good idea to get a bite to eat before she went out on the town. It was becoming obvious by her skin tone that she hadn't fed in the last couple days, but then she'd been too busy to think about that. Now however she would be surrounded by people, and she didn't want to become tempted by any of them, like she was with even her own mother upon occasion. That it did wonderful things to her skin tone didn't hurt in the least, and the image of her wandering around outside during her last outing came to her mind. That her father had let her wander around in the rain (http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2011/003/f/4/a_morning_in_estyria_by_aikurisu-d36bfk4.jpg) like that, and not expected her back until nightfall (http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2011/364/e/1/a_night_in_estryria_by_aikurisu-d4koqjd.jpg) had been a welcome reprieve from the loneliness that Crownhome can be at times. Perhaps he liked to live vicariously through her at times too, due to the fact that he could no longer go out in the day.<br/><br/>These thoughts would flee from her however, as she made her way out of her room slowly, down towards the harem where the men and women that were offered as food to her family was held. Hips swaying with a sensuality that she did not seem to notice herself, as her graceful steps were just a part of her. Once in the large harem's wing, the young elf would search out her favorite meal, a beautiful young woman. Not that she preferred any one woman over the others by most accounts, she did have a strange preference for the gender. Her father seemed to think it was due to some camaraderie that she felt with them, but Iolana was starting to believe it was something different, that she was attracted to them in the way he was attracted to her mother. Though they hadn't spoken out against this persuasion, it wasn't offered up as an answer either. Maybe if they talked more about it, but the young elf was a little embarrassed by her feelings, not having seen anyone she knew to have similar inclinations. These were musings for another time however, she now had to get food, and get heading towards the tavern where she was to meet her bodyguard.
