Description

Back story:Xaro, a not so wise yet shy deer of life. Though he never knew anything of parents, he wishes to see them one day, but it won’t ever be possible. His mother was never known but was told his father was a hero that saved everyone. He wishes motivation from his family in his life, but he never experienced one. Xaro was born alone, or he never remembered what it was like when on his feet for the first time. As sad it may sound, he doesn't take it personally as he was never confronted about it. Over his first centuries of growing up, he was seen as the smartest kid in a very small village. No one saw him as a legendary and was treated as a friend. For Xaro, growing up was hard. Seeing all your friends and the ones who took deep care of you disappear as the decades flash was the most unbearable thing about a legendary. Xaro can live as long as he pleases but this gift happens to be a curse for that reason.
His
 special talent was playing a violin. Just a freshly rosined bow placed on the strings and he begins to play. Xaro has that ear for music and sees life going in absolute harmony. Through his music, he speaks and vents through it as his only escape. For decades he lived as a street performer beside woods where his personally built home was. He joined a few bands and times stayed solo, but was never that recognized as a famous person. Xaro was completely fine with that. All he wanted was money for living in a place much more lively and spirited. But what he really wanted is a place that made him feel like he can live with the same people for the rest of his life.

Xaro
 also had a hobby of gardening and is very fond of roses. Ever since started gardening, a girl would seem to show up and buy roses. He didn't really mind but her distinct outfit stood out from the small village he hung out in. In fact, she looked rich. Xaro shook it off, doubting again and she comes in again and again and again. With a smile, he hands one rose a day for her. The young lady came by so many times, he decided to let her get the roses for free. Xaro overtime didn’t realize he is gaining some attraction towards her. The Xerneas boy shook it off as always. The next day when she came in, she finally introduced him her name, Melody. Xaro let her know his for that name exchange. Over time, Xaro always seems to be happy when she comes over. Funny how he forgot how much time has passed and hasn’t got any older except for his very own plants and his isolation from society.

A few weeks later, Xaro realizes she stopped appearing as he just woke up lying on the flowerbed of his garden. It didn’t look right at all. All day he waited for a customer to buy flower or rose of some sort. On the same day, a forest fire rose, proliferation of the flames causing the separation of the city from his shop. The fire was forced in by the looks of it as well. A kishin’s job is what it looked like. The air was noxious of smoke. Very angered by this destructive force, Xaro stomps his way out of his shop and tries to stop the fire surrounding him. For a few minutes he freaked out not knowing what to do and attempted to use outrage to eliminate the fire. It was too late. His garden was demolished by the flames. In horror Xaro saw trees coming down and one of them landed on him..

The life deer woke up in an infirmary with a scar across from his neck to the one side of his body. He didn’t know or care how long he was out, he was upset that his garden was trashed and was left alone. Xaro’s wounds healed and it looked like it took a very long while. The following night after he woke up, Mel seemed to have came back.

Ironic that she was giving him a rose instead ever since he first opened his eyes inside the hospital. He was relieved about the safety on Mel and tried to plant a rose bush behind the hospital to still give to her when she comes back. In fact, she did but this was a month later and he was yet to be discharged. Xaro was invited by Dem, the mother of Melody to be their servant.  The life deer found that quite uncommon to be requested as one by someone’s parent. Of course, is to what his reply was. This was a surprise to Mel by the looks of it. He packed up his tonight and went to the island. Leaving the rubble of his ruined garden behind….

Ever since Xaro first signed up as a servant, the family he was serving to was to the Lancaster. He played his talents towards them and given a small section of land to make his garden. It's been year since he technically lived with them and he did feel closer to Mel even more, he felt much more at home disregarding the chores he has to do.

When he wakes up every morning, he sleeps in a rather large attic. But this morning didn't turn out like the rest. Xaro woke up realizing something wrong with his leg, it was like a bow of a violin. He shook it off and it disappeared. The following morning, the father of Mel looked like he was going through a lot. He might have been before, but this time rather abusive or something ticked him during family breakfast. It seemed to have started when Xaro tripped over when his leg became a bow again. The xerneas boy crashed on the table and splitted the table in half. Father was very upset due to the destruction of their own artifact.

Hermes.. That was his name. The father of Mel punched Xaro in the face and repeatedly let Xaro take a blow. Xaro tried to block his face but got kicked in the gut, pushing the air out of him, got knocked out cold after repeated blows. He didn't remember what happened after that except wake up with Mel crying on his side of the bed...

Xaro woke up seeing Melody. She looked mentally torn apart to him. He felt so much sympathy, it wasn’t just him that snapped her. He knows it is something more than just that. Xaro felt like crap just seeing something that he can’t seem to help, but just get in the way. All he did was slowly get up and hug. It hurt him, but the life deer didn’t care as much. He let her sob into his arms…

The next day came by ever so slowly and Xaro woke up and found Mel asleep. He patted her awake, gently. He finally decided to do something that he never thought existed, transformation. Something about having a song in his head activated his form by accident. Thinking there was something more than just the bow, the deer calmly held her hand and looked into her eyes for a minute. He can't really say anything, rather he was overwhelming himself to that point. Xaro slowly danced with her and He held her tightly but gently into the air and with both hands held the pink cat's body. Mel's body was light and by the now calm look in her eyes, he could tell she felt like she was flying. Sliding his hands slowly, he put her back in the ground. Holding her closely to him he stared silently at her and making the dance's last step, he held her hand and turned into a violin.

Xaro saw himself in a dark room and a violin in front of him. He wants to play, but where was Mel? He slowly walked to it. The Xerneas boy slowly played it. He felt a presence that she was there. He adjusts his eyes and sees Melody in a dress. He politely asked if that was really her, not sure of what’s going on. He feels like he’s dreaming. But in a distorted room in which it can be fixed mentally. Xaro calms down again and plays the violin and looks up if the mew was okay..

The wave of relief flowed through him. She was so beautiful and stressed free. Her free nature made him feel much better as he continues playing …

Constant practice and the personal training to ‘feel’ through it was a good a idea. A technique used by the two for a while now. There was never a border between rich and servant, leaving both as the best of friends. Xaro and Mel practiced both of their abilities and danced continuously to help out activate his pure weapon form in the shack outside near the garden. Although this helped Mel gain up her confidence and made Xaro gain better control of his instrumental form, the suspicions of the Lancaster family began to rise.

Xaro not realizing Mel having the time spent with him was large chunks of time used against her family activities. Causing the father to barge in the shack door during their dance practice. The first impression of the slow dance made him furious and arrested Xaro on the spot for dancing with his ‘daughter’. Separating him from Mel. He was in denial about what had happened…

For months he's been in a jail cell, arms chained, open wounds, lack of food, and faced demotivating quotes that prevented him from keeping his hopes up when thinking about Mel. Doubt flooded over him. Believing he would never see the light of day with Mel in front of him. This kept him silent and cried alone.

The Xerneas boy was in pain. He wants to see Mel again, nothing more. A few months later, she did come back. Sadly, not how he wants to see her. Making him escape jail, abandoning her parents, become bounties. It made his heart sink a little. His pain in prison felt like nothing compared to the bravery her had to go through. They escaped into another village and Mel helped him recover his injuries using her synthesis.

On the last day before leaving the much smaller village, his wounds were healed but they needed to move on from the place. Xaro has constant fear that he would get arrested and her away from Mel.

As an escapee, paranoia creeps in from him. As Mel does her research about themselves, Xaro usually hides his face away from people. Isolation wasn't really the way to go for him. He pretends to blend into the crowd and go wherever the crowd flows into. Lucky for him, never was he caught.

Mel came up to the Xerneas and according to what she found, there was an academy that helps out with this “weapon form” and her abilities to see souls.

Nevada… it's a bit far from where they are. (They weren't in the USA) The legendaries ended up embarking on a journey to that school.

It wasn't long before they found the large building being surrounded by a mountain of apartments and stores. Xaro loves this new place. And so him and Mel signed up in desperation to know about themselves some more....
