Rise of the Malactric Heir

"I see and understand what you're saying; I listened to you; something may be wrong with him, but I'll tell you this: if he has truly gone off the track and the princess is unable to kill him, I will kill him myself," Alix said, as Adora and the others arrived at the valley.

"You," Adora said, and the guy grinned at her.

"Ah, princess, you are here, did you hear what he said just now?" "Are you okay with that?" he asked, and Adora lowered her head, knowing Alix would be correct if he killed him if he was far gone.

"Yeah... As Alix said, if he has truly gone off the track, I won't mind him killing Vellon," she replied, and the guy chuckled.

"You guys are all unpredictable, he is similar too, I won't blame you, Adora, the fight you've been avoiding is coming at you like a storm, you better think, as should the rest of you, it's not too late to back off, I'm doing this out of generosity, no one knows I'm here, and I'd like to keep it that way as well," he said.

"We are not backing off, we are all a part of this too," Alix said as he walked up to Adora and stood before her and the others smirked.

'What is the matter with him? 'He's getting more serious about this,' Adora observed before smiling.

"Your choice, after all, everyone has one, I will see you guys in a little, after all a show that a lot of people will see will talk place soon, an unavoidable encounter," the guy said before disappearing, and Alix clenched his fists as Adora sighed and the others looked at each other.

"He's desperate," Alix said, turning to Adora.

"I know, we just have to be careful because the full moon is coming up soon, Kyris, can you cast a veil around the entire land here?" she asked and he smiled.

"Sure can, my lady," he replied as his staff appeared in his hand and he struck it on the ground, causing blue sparks to fly.

"Restrict the enemies from entering it?" Kyris asked.

"Yeah," Adora replied as Kyris closed his eyes and a blue, shimmering veil began to form in the sky, encircling everything around the castle, including the valleys and waterfall.

"It's an invisible veil, so, there," Kyris said, and his staff vanished, leaving Adora smiling.

"Thank you," she replied.

"You're most welcome," he said.

"Do you realize the enemy has something to gain by not fully attacking us?" Alix inquired, and Adora glanced at him.

"Yeah, I know," she replied, "but think about what will happen now that he knows we will never give him what he wants."

"When is going to be the full moon?" Kyllan asked.

"I was wrong, it's tonight," the king said as he approached them, and Adora gnashed her teeth, finally understanding why the enemy teased them about meeting in a little.

"They might already be aware of how to get to the source," Zavis speculated.

"Probably," Alix replied and Adora looked at the king.

"Were you wrong about the update?" Adora inquired.

"The moon was expected to be full by then, but the universe works in mysterious ways, and we averaged incorrectly; it will be full by midnight; do you have what you need?" The king inquired.

"Yeah, I do," she replied.

"Good then there is nothing to be worried about, relax and hopefully, things will go our way," the king said and she sighed.

"You're right, we need to relax a little bit; have your scouts received any new updates?" she inquired.

"Nope, nothing new on the enemy, it's as if they've vanished, they're nowhere to be found," he replied, and she sighed.

"If we lose this source, I'm calling in the other teams; they are going to have to drop what they're doing and make this mission their top priority; I am not joking around," Adora said as she walked away, and Alix smiled as the others exchanged glances.

"She is hard for me to understand at times, is it because of Vellon that she is becoming more serious? Or is it because of something else?" Eliza inquired.

"No, I don't think that's it, something else is making her getting her on edge," Alix responded as they walked back to the castle, and Adora's eyes began to glow orange as she entered her room, locked the door, and sat on her bed.

"When I sealed him within myself, a lot of my powers got sealed as well; now they're all back; I'm not overpowered, but I hope I'm strong enough to keep fighting alongside them," Adora muttered as she put on her headphones and began playing music before lying back on the bed and exhaling deeply.

"Should we train?" Alix asked as he sat down on a couch in the living room and Kyris sighed.

"I don't think I'm in the mood to train," Kyris replied, "but you guys can if you want."

"I need to train," Alix said, and Ayden smiled.

"I'll train with you, and we can help each other if you want to train with me." Ayden said.

"Sure, I am certain we will be able to help each other more," Alix responded.

"All right, tell me when you're ready," Ayden said.

"Okay, I will go get something to drink," Alix replied then got up and went to the kitchen to get something to drink.

While Adora was listening to the music, she dozed off and at the same time, she started getting the same nightmares and she flung up from her sleep, panting.

"I have no one to watch over me; it's exactly the same as before," she sighed.

'I'm really getting on edge,' Adora thought before getting up and going into the balcony to look at the valleys which gave her a nice view.

"I really want all of this to be over with soon, I want a long vacation which probably won't be happening soon," Adora muttered then looked up at the sky which looked stormy as though rain was about to fall.
