Blue was an important color in Guinevere's life.
She had been told that her mother had had eyes the color of the midday sky. She rather liked that image. She didn't remember much about her mother, but Merlin talked about her a lot and it was her eyes that he seemed to mention more than anything else.
Blue was the color she had been surrounded by all of her life. The blue sky, the blue water in the lakes...the paint of her people before going into battle.
As soothing as blue could be, she knew that it could also be an angry, dangerous color.
Before going into battle, her people would paint themselves up with blue paint and mark themselves with the different symbols of the people. Some of the symbols were to the gods of her people and they were believed to bring protection and success in battle.
Then she met the Sarmatian knights...and she fell in love with Arthur and Lancelot.
Suddenly, the sight of her warriors painting themselves blue no longer filled her with joy and celebration.
Until the peace between her people and Arthur, the sight of her warriors painted up in blue filled her with sadness and distress. Not just because they would be defeated by the Sarmatian knights, but also because Lancelot or Arthur might get hurt by one of them.
Now, the sight of the warriors painting themselves in blue once again filled her with fire and the song of a warrior. Now, the warriors fought for Arthur.
