Unfortunately for Jaden that left him the primary heir to their families fishing business as well. From early on Jaden was more fascinated with the bedtime stories his mother told him about adventurers than he was with fishing. Prime among them was a story about a legendary elven swordsman who fought a dragon to the death by himself with only his supreme skill with the blade.

Since no one seemed to think a halfling, let alone a runt like Jaden, could be a master swordsman and his father forbid him from trying because of it Jaden decided something had to be done. Immediately he set out for the guardhouse with sword sheathed on his back. He pounded on the door furiously and asked that they begin training him with the sword immediately. Skravress, the guard who first answered the door, simply belted out laughing at the thought. Already angered by his father on the matter Jaden then demanded they take him in for training. When Skravress still refused, laughing hysterically the whole time, Jaden drew the sword from his back and shouted that he would prove he was worthy of being trained. Skravress being the foul tempered person he is accepted the challenge without warning, drawing his sword and knocking Jaden's aside before Jaden could raise it for a proper defense.
