Kalon name: Raiden Alexander Xen
Prompt:It isn't a secret that Raiden hates the big city.
Growing up in the forests and swimming in lakes, moving to the big city for work
was a massive culture shock. Between the noise, the crowds, and the lack of
greenery, he found himself getting stressed and miserable, even despite having
his dream job. So, after almost a year, he did something about it: he made the
roof of his condo building into a community garden, and got everyone involved.
Tragedy struck quickly, though, as his plants were barraged by snails, ruining
the vegetables and killing the seedlings. But Raiden was clever, and knew just
who to rely on.
The male Kalon purchased a colony of fireflies, and housed them within the
garden. Young fireflies would eat the snail larvae, and adults would pollinate the
plants, all while being beautiful and unable to sting residents like bees would. It
was a perfect solution, and everything flourished. Often, Raiden eats dinner and
reads until after nightfall, just to watch his colony. Eventually he noticed one
firefly in particular kept hanging around him; it got to the point that it began to
land on his knee or his book, and just sit there until he left. The blue-lighted insect
was larger that his counterparts, and Raiden quickly grew a strong bond with it. He
quickly dubbed it "Excalibur" - a reference to his middle name - and to this day you
can find Excalibur hitching a ride whenever Raiden is working on the garden.
