<span style="color: teal"><div style="text-indent:1em;">Jarvan knew some about war, not from the view of a soldier, but from his travels with the caravan. Many a time they would come upon a city or town where refugees sought haven, or a village ransacked and burned to the ground. He did not see the meaning in this mindless slaughter, and would fight for the good of all. If there was one soul he could protect, he would with all his heart. As everyone was wandering around within the portal, Jarvan was preparing his equipment. He rewaxed his bow to keep it limber, checked the string for any signs of wear and tear, and then inspected his blade.</div><br/><div style="text-indent:1em;">The blade Jarvan bore was special, enchanted to be different from other swords both in appearance and in use. Its <a class="postlink" href="http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs47/i/2009/180/0/6/_Brisingr__by_Kirin_dark.jpg">blade</a> was a light blue and would never lose its edge unless a greater power broke through the enchantments. The <a class="postlink" href="http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/200/d/0/brisingr____by_vmpi-d57tabn.jpg">pommel</a> was made to both be decorative and to protect his hands if he locked blades with another. Jarvan never really admired his blade before because he had little chance to use it, finding himself outside of the range of most weapons besides bows, and took this chance to see exactly what it could do.</div><br/><div style="text-indent:1em;">Jarvan kept his blade drawn as he walked over to Isolde. He saw her launch a rock off into the distance and destroy it, and thought it would be best to ask her. Tapping her on the shoulder to distract her for just a second from her conversation, Jarvan came up with an idea. When she was able to turn and talk to him, he spoke up asking "Isolde, I see you can use magic to do more than just heal. Perhaps you know a way to start a fire? If so, would you use it on my blade? It is special, but to the extent of which I do not know more than Mother told me. I do know it should always keep its edge, but the color of the blade itself has peaked my curiosity more than once."</div></span>
