Backstory: <p> Merx born in the water like his mother and almost drowned. His mother thought that he was going to be able to breathe underwater. He took more after his father, a talented musician and a normal unicorn. He knew something was wrong when he couldn’t sleep at all. He went to his dad and talked to him about it. His father told him about the curse that his trumpet that sat in the case placed on him and if it ever broke/damaged, that he and now Merx would die. Merx nodded and went into the market to get an instrument to play since he didn’t want to risk it and it was his father’s prized possession. </p> <p> As he was looking through the market, he came across a merchant that was selling a guitar that had a black body with a red and black spiraled neck. He levitated it to him and strummed it. As he was playing it, he heard the merchant cough. Merx looked up and smiled embarrassed, then as he was placing it back, the merchant told him that he could have it, but he’ll have to work it off. He smiled and headed home. </p> <p> That night, he and his parents played a few songs, then his mother told him that his voice is coming in. He was confused until he remembered that she was a siren and that he used it on the merchant. He smiled and decided to become a merchant to pay it off. With a glow behind him, he looked to see that he got his cutie mark. It was a quarter note with a gold circle behind it, then he hugged his parents and left to learn on how to be a merchant.<br />   </p>
