Rise of the Malactric Heir

After that day, Alix and the others focused on healing and learning, not pushing themselves too hard for more than a week, but once that was done, they all went right back to training because they were fully healed, but Alix's arm still ached him a little and he knew he couldn't talk to Kyris about it yet, not like he had planned to, and decided to wait until the princess returned.

After more than two weeks, Alix and the others had improved through training with Kyris and the others.

One Friday morning, while the others were training on the front lawn of the castle, Alix started to get tired because he was practicing the different arts of using a sword with Elijah for a while and he had gotten way better at a lot of things during the time.

"I need to take a break," he said as he threw the sword in hopes of it sticking to the ground, but just then someone caught it and Nina smiled upon seeing the person holding the sword while Alix and the others left staring.

"You should be careful with that, Alix, do you want to kill me?" Aodra asked, smirking, and Alix sighed as he approached her and took the sword.

"It wouldn't have hurt you, you sure took your time getting back," he said, and she sighed as Xemon appeared behind her and smiled.

"Bro, you are back," Kyris exclaimed.

"Good morning, guys," replied Xemon.

"Welcome home, I'm glad you're both safe," Nina said, hugging Adora, and the girl sighed in relief because she was worried about Adora.

"Welcome home," said the others.

"You have returned sooner than expected, welcome home," Isabella said, and Xemon looked at Adora who gave Isa a death stare.

"Yeah, well, I had to return as soon as possible, but we got what we needed, so things worked out pretty well," Adora replied.

"I will catch up with you guys later, sorry I am in a bit of a hurry, Nina, could you please take my things to my room before we leave for the lab? I made a promise that I need to keep," she asked.

"OK, I will be right back," Nina said the grabbed Adora's bag and took it to her room.

"Are you going to get Kyllan?" Alix asked as Adora stared at his body, then grabbed his shirt by the staircase and threw it at him, which he caught.

"Stop being shirtless all the time, and yes, I am; I made a promise that I intend to keep now," she said.

"Is Cameron awake yet? We need to talk "Adora stated.

"Nope, he's still in a coma and isn't waking up," Olivia explained.

"Can you make sure he's up and running in a few days, Xemon?" she asked.

"I can try," Xemon said, smiling. "And guys, congratulations on winning that match, you all did well."

"Thank you; it appears that our training is paying off," Alix responded.

"Of course, it's paying off, you guys are working hard as well, harder than before, it seems, I am glad," Adora said.

"It's thanks to you as well, give yourself some credit," Alix scoffed and she smiled.

"I am done, and Adora, how come you just showed up out of nowhere and didn't even call?" Nina questioned.

"I am sorry Nina, there was a lot to do, I rushed back, believe me, it would have taken much longer if I didn't cause some trouble," Adora responded.

"What exactly do you mean?" Ayden asked.

"I got a call from Leon the other day saying that the lab is refusing to release Kyllan despite my last conversation with them, Kyllan is going to start acting up, he hates being there, he is a rebellious soul, and he won't let them keep him in, if he tries to break out, they will consider him dangerous and might take action," she responded.

"This is going to be a problem, isn't it?" Alix asked while putting on his shirt.

"Yeah, I will handle it, then I'll get some sleep," Adora said as she stretched off.

"She has been up most nights; she needs to sleep," Xemon said as he walked away.

"Yo, thank you," she said, looking at Xemon.

"You are not so bad, later," he said before leaving, and she yawned.

"Do you need anything? Do you want a cup of coffee or something? It will soon be lunchtime as well " Nina said and Adora walked over to her then patted her on the head.

"Thank you, but I'm fine; stop worrying about me so much; it's bad for you; let's go," Adora replied.

"Can we come with you guys and maybe get some lunch somewhere afterward?" Aerav asked and Adora sighed as she realized she didn't have much of a choice.

"All right, you guys follow in the next car and we can stop by a restaurant after that," she said as she got into a car with Nina and the others went into another car that followed Adora after they left.

"Did they worry too much after the match?" Adora questioned, and Nina smiled.

"No, they didn't, they are growing at a rapid pace, they rewatched that match and discovered a few of their weak points and began training more with Elijah and the others, they are learning different things, they are quite open-minded now," Nina responded with a smile, putting Adora at ease as she braced her head back against the seat and closed her eyes.

"It's good to have you back," Nina said as Adora removed her mask. Nina gasped as she noticed Adora's eye color had changed, her right eye shimmering blue and the other bright green.

"Wow, that's lovely," Nina said, and Adora smiled brightly.

"Thank you Nina, a lot of things are changing lately and it would seem that my body is changing in its own way as well," she replied, before putting her mask back on and pulling down the window to get some fresh air.
