Background[]
Family History[]
Before Milio was born, his grandmother Lupé and her twin sister Luné both strove to join the Yun Tal through passing the Vidallion's trials, with Lupé being a master of earth while Luné mastered fire. However, Luné was caught plotting treason against the Yun Tal and imprisoned while Lupé and her family faced punishment by proxy of Lupé being her twin. Exiled to the furthest reaches of Ixtal, Lupé and her family lived in a faraway village that would eventually become Milio's birthplace.
Childhood[]
As Milio came of age, Lupé started to teach him how to master the elemental axiomata. Unlike the rest of the family, Milio showed great potential as a prodigy of elemental magic but struggled to understand the discipline that came with it. Disappointed, Lupé eventually gave up on Milio's teachings but he still trained his own abilities in private. Abandoning the rigid restrictions of the teachings of his grandmother, Milio eventually learned how to control fire, the only element Lupé avoided out of spite against her twin sister. However, Milio began to question the capabilities of the fire axiom and instead believed it had potential for more positive effects rather than destructive ones.
One night, Milio was chasing a group of fireflies when he noticed a village huntress who was left badly injured and unable to move. Milio rushed to help her by keeping her stable with his fire axiom, but it wasn't enough. Knowing that the healer would've been too far away to arrive on time, Milio tried as hard as he could to shape his powers into a force that could heal. Milio felt the huntress' inner flame, a feeling of warmth which he began to sense in the nature all around him. Focusing all of his concentration on that warm and cozy feeling, Milio manifested his fire magic into a small fire elemental which was able to heal the huntress' wounds.
Having discovered a new axiom which he named "soothing flames," Milio went home to tell his family about what he had done and showed off his new ability to summon his signature fire elementals, dubbed "Ixaocan in order to restore the family's honor. Though he was nervous to endure the long trip by himself, Milio was motivated purely by the love he had for his family. For his journey, he and Lupé fashioned a backpack to store his fuemigos which he dubbed his "furnasita" and got a new set of clothes made by his family members. At the age of 12, Milio left his village and began his journey to Ixaocan, travelling across Ixtal while sending letters to his family about his adventures.
". While his family celebrated, Lupé was astonished by Milio's success in mastering the fire axiom despite going against the traditional teachings and discovering an entirely new axiom. Seeing his potential to undo the burdens placed on the family by her sister Luné, Lupé dedicated herself to teaching her grandson how to master his newfound abilities, preparing him for a journey toJourney to Ixaocan[]

Milio eventually left for a nearby village having a bonfire in order to continue his adventure, but hoped to see Nidalee again someday.At the village, Milio found a lot of hurt people and, using his soothing fire powers, tried healing as many as he can. Unfortunately, Milio was unable to heal everyone and a few villagers were too injured to be saved. Luckily, Milio was able to make their final moments warm and comforting. Despite being able to save lots of people with his powers, Milio began to become discouraged due to the villagers he lost and continued his journey. Throughout his journey, Milio encountered many other sights while hopping around many villages on the pathway to Ixaocan. At one point, he encountered a vastaya named smelled the scent of the pakaa on Milio and, becoming curious, attempted to play a prank on him by shapeshifting as Milio himself. Milio eventually befriended Neeko, learning about her tribe and language before continuing on his journey.

Milio used to hear stories of Nidalee as a frightening creature to be feared named the Kashdaji queen, but met her in person during his journey to Ixaocan after he healed one of her pakaa. While initially distrustful towards him at first due to his human nature, Nidalee grew a fondness for the boy and allowed him to travel with her pack for a while to the next village.
