16 CLE, Shortly after returning home from Noxian captivity.
Words can not describe the horrors Prince Jarvan Lightshield IV had to endure while in the clutches of the Noxians. If he had not spent his lifetime mentally preparing himself, he might of gone mad and killed himself on the first dangerous object he found. But, he was a Lightshield. Lightshields do not have the luxury of committing suicide because life is too hard. Part of him wishes he had died. A small part of him accepted the death that Urgot was about to give him. Obviously he had survived, therefore he must live on and serve Demacia. But that didn't make living easier did it?
Jarvan lay awake in his bed most nights now. And when he was actually able to find sleep, it was not restful. He would often bolt awake in a cold sweat with his horrors clinging onto him. Most of the time he would awake screaming as well. For the first few nights, servants would come rushing into his chambers when they heard the terrorized shrieks of the young prince. His father would be alerted and he would come bounding to his son's side. They were expecting that he was being attacked by a Noxian assassin that came to finish the execution. But as days passed, the late night screaming became expected and no one would rush to his side when they heard it. It was just normal now.
Besides his night terrors, it took the prince a great number of years to be able to function normally in society once again. His mentor Xin even mentioned how his eyes never seemed to look at you. He had become somewhat of a shut-in, only leaving the palace when he had royal duties to attend to. To try and numb the pain, Jarvan took on the comfort of alcohol and the pleasurable company of women. Anything to make the fear go away. His father didn't allow him to spiral down into alcoholism, but that wasn't the worst of his problems.
Even though no one wanted to admit it, he was sick. It was an illness of the mind, which made it all the more dangerous.
