Their family, along with the other court families, banded together to create a gated off community to the rest of the Under. They were unable to build a market in the community, or farm for any food, so going down to the local marketplace was unavoidable, but it was still better than living in the wildness of the Under. Exalteon's father was their makeshift leader, but was also very cunning. He planned to con the rest of the court members out of their money by making them pay to live in the community, but his plan never fell through due to his sudden and untimely death. The rest of the court members seemed to drop off one by one like flies until it was nothing but their children left. Exalteon, being the eldest out of them all, took control of the community. At first he gained everyone's trust by helped them out when they needed it, volunteering to go down to the market when needed, and generally being a nice guy. But whatever favor he might do for someone, he expected a favor in return and soon the entire community was in his debt. It was then that he announced that he couldn't go on protecting the community without having a stable income and practically forced everyone to pay him a monthly rent. Those who refused were thrown out of the community to face the Under alone, and those who stayed were forced to deal with crippling debt. But to those who did stay behind, Exalteon did actually follow through with his promises and protected them from any danger that threatened their gates. Exalteon had always been a loner, preferring to be by himself than to be surrounded by idiots. He didn't even mind when his old man kicked the bucket, taking advantage of the empty room in his house to rent out. But there was someone who had caught his eye, and she was the daughter of the Pahaliah family, who had been friends with his father. Exalteon only knew very little about Amerii before they were sent to the Under, as she was too shy to come out of hiding behind her father's back whenever they met. But after being sent to the Under, they became closer. They were similar in age and when one faced a problem, they would turn to the other for help. Exalteon was initially reluctant to share his feelings with Amerii, but her warm smile and comforting aura eventually broke him until she was the only one he could truthfully talk to. When he implemented the rent rule, he had no choice but to force Amerii into to to avoid the others accusing him of favoritism. He didn't want the community to turn on her or try to get her kicked out for special treatment, so he steeled up and demanded her to pay. It was hard, and caused a rift in their friendship, but Exalteon knew that Amerii didn't hate him for it, and that was all that mattered. The world came crashing around him, however, when Amerii left to go take the census and returned with another man. Exalteon had no choice but to watch with jealousy as she and the man grew closer, until months later when she confessed to him that she was pregnant with his child. Exalteon was absolutely outraged about the whole thing and had half the mind to kick both of them out of his land, but stopped when he thought about things realistically. He knew that he still loved her and never wanted anything bad to happen to her, so he allowed them to stay and was even the first one other than the two of them to hold the baby. He was no doubt hurting inside, but Amerii just looked so happy that he couldn't help but feel happy for her too. It was months later when everything changed. Exalteon had been getting ready to sleep when he heard a disturbance from Amerii's house next door. Knowing that her lover wasn't there, he rushed over to find her being attacked by intruders, desperately holding her infant son in her arms. Without a moments hesitation, Exalteon jumped into action and fought off the intruders with Amerii's help. He stayed with her that night, dutifully watching over her and baby Amesha until Seraphion came back the next morning. Upon seeing his face Exalteon wanted to punch it in for putting Amerii in danger like that, but from the look on her face he could tell that she was more than capable of doing that herself, and returned home. The next time he saw Amerii again, she and Seraphion had split up and she was now raising Amesha by herself. Over the next few years, Exalteon helped Amerii with whatever she might need to take care of her son. He would go to the market for her, buy new clothes for her, even go as far as let her take a few months off from paying rent. All the while he never confessed his feelings to her, as she was still recovering from Seraphion, but just being near her was enough. In the present, not much has changed. He and Amerii are closer than ever, but neither one has made a move forward in their relationship, but Exalteon still helps her with her kids and she still invites him to dinner every night. At this point they are both aware of their feelings for one another, but neither has confessed yet. [/center]
