<div class="floatright"><strong>Aron Crow</strong> (https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=2054010)<br/>(https://d.wattpad.com/story_parts/373922232/images/14d136eb6a99fc87856483970271.jpg)</div><br/>Aron Crow had grown in nobility as well, carrying his own regal air around him. His own dress was not flashy sort but impressed with purity of the design (same as in pic). His clothes were simple black and white, contrasts bordered with gold and overall his clothes were pants, shirt and a vest along with boots and gloves. However in the wall hanged the white overcoat with bold designed golden circular ring where clothing would be positioned and hang from his own shoulders and line shoulders with vibrant and almost alive black feathers. Crow feathers, which are fitting considering his family name.<br/><br/>Aron listened keenly the man's response, as it was merely idle question but more as get idea what awaits him. Get some news from Kingsheart situation from other sources and more so rarely nobles travel to remote backwater locations. He saw man many times glance on his slave, Elerra, and so he had anticipated the question and had readily developed a plausible reason for her presence. He knew the truth and the truth was not damming but it was all for the subtle deception Elerra wanted display and<em>desired</em>it. He himself saw no reason to ruin the image she was portraying so he continued it with a simple lie which was half-true anyways; "She is curious indeed as you rarely see dark elves on the surface. But she fled from her native homeland because her life was in danger, trying find safety and place on the surface. However she was caught by the church itself and through divinity it was decided she shall suffer for many sins of her people have inflicted upon others and considering her race enslaves other races the ultimate punishment for her to suffer is not death, torture or execution; but live as a slave. Poetic justice.<br/><br/>Now how she came to be my possession legally? Well, church who captured her was in my family homeland and church desired rich and wealthy sponsors for future projects of the church. So all fairness sake they held auction where she was sold, for owner's lifetime anyways as no doubt church will keep milking money out of her for many centuries, Crow family won the bid. She was given to me as I had studied underdark and was curious about drow culture, overall she is more property of Crow house than mine but so far I am the keeper of her and thus she is under my responsibility. Also she may look harmless but she wields magic as well, divine magic. Which is very wonderful combination when combined with my own skills in arcane arts.<br/><br/>The reason why I trust on her obedience despite her fierce drow nature, no doubt she thinks many ways how torment and torture me every night or make me suffer near death experiences, is because of the golden chains in her bind her to divine oriented will and obedience to obey my every command and protect me. Including people whom I travel with as well and aren't my enemies. Also she has other obvious traits which make her overall very worth of her price what Crow family bought her for. Elerra, would you show and display yourself to lord over here?"<br/><br/>Last part is clear command to Elerra to stand up and literally strip naked, display herself and her nude dark body in all it's dark exotic beauty to the lord. As Aron gave the command, he reached with gloved hand to Elerra's golden chains on her bosom, touching it and in golden shimmer the chains would undo themselves on her. Expect ones which hang on her neck and wrist and ankles. Once display is over Aron touches the chain link, chains reforming and binding Elerra anew and then speaks to noble once more; "Her racial attributes as you can see are rare gem and worth treasuring and used for family benefit when possible. Makes useful at some business negotiations as well.<br/><br/>What comes to reason why we two are going Kingsheart, as you may know Crow family has founded it's fortunes to wondrous magitech inventions, like the carriage we are riding now. But most of it comes from long and devoted study on Tal'both empire. Every generation one or couple in Crow family goes there and hopes find unburied treasures of knowledge or artifacts and carve names and legends for themselves. Many wondrous and useful secrets were forgotten in the collapse and over passage of years from that era to present date. So I am mostly seeking to explore and hoping to find make name for myself in there. If nothing then very least get more experienced and stronger heir for the family by adventuring for a while, as family experience shows those who adventure gain more than those who do not gamble with their lives."
