Rise of the Malactric Heir

After a few hours, it was night, and the girls had finished cooking and gone to freshen up, as did the guys.

Scott had closed the open area on the upper deck from which the others were enjoying the view; he could see where they were going because of the ship's front glass, and the opened areas closed like windows because they were glass through which they could see out of the ship but no one could see in; once closed, they were sealed off, the glasses were also reinforced by magic, which was acting as a shield and could not be broken easily.

After everyone had finished freshening up, they went to sit in the living room while the girls went to get the things they had made, and as they brought them out one by one, the guys left staring then got up and helped bring the plates and glasses along with the drinks, after which they all sat down.

"Thank you," the guys said, and the girls left staring at them before smiling and they took their food.

"Ah, this smells good," Misran said as they started eating, and Alix took pieces of the sweet and sour chicken with his food and Adora glanced at him.

"This is good," Alix said, looking at Adora and she smiled.

"Did we pass?" Eliza inquired.

"I believe you girls did more than just pass," Ifrit replied.

"True, this is really good," Yan said and Kyllan nodded as the others smiled.

'Savor the good times, huh, mom?' Adora thought as she poured herself a glass of wine, then drank it, and Alix looked at her before exhaling deeply and looking at her neck when he noticed she was still wearing the necklace he had given her for her birthday.

'I guess it really does go well with her outfits,' he thought then continued eating.

"Did you get everything you needed in the kitchen, Adora? Do we need anything else?" Scott inquired.

"Don't worry, the kitchen has more than enough; I even found a bunch of different flavors of ice cream in the freezer," she responded, and he smiled.

"That was the queen's recommendation because we don't know how long we'll be gone for, we probably have more than a month's worth of things," he said, and Adora scoffed.

"Well, that's good," she replied, "but I'm pretty sure we won't be that long," they nodded.

After Adora finished eating, she poured herself a glass of wine and drank it.

"Thank you for letting me sleep, Adora," Nina said, and Adora smiled.

"Don't worry about it; you seemed as though you needed to relax, so I left you to sleep," Adora replied, and Nina smiled as they all got up and took their dishes to the kitchen to wash which the boys assisted with because it was the girls who cooked and they wanted to help.

They joined the girls in the living room after they finished the dishes and were talking when Scott approached them and they looked at him.

"It appears we have a lightning storm," he said.

"How bad is it?" Alix asked.

"Bad enough to annihilate anything that enters it, and we're in it right now, you guys want to see?" he asked as he walked away, and they got up and followed him to the upper deck, where they looked out the front glass and saw how bad the lightning storm was; everything was black outside, and the only thing they could see were flashes of lightning which gave off different colors and they smiled at it.

"Will this sway us from our course?" Aerav inquired.

"No, not as long as I stay here and guide us through it, it will be fine, this ship won't be damaged this easily, if you didn't notice, there is a shield around the ship, protecting it from any damage, we cater for these kinds of stuffs," Scott replied, and they smiled before sitting down and watching the lightning as they passed by.

"Are we above water or something?" Kyris asked and Scott smiled then nodded.

"That explains the lightning storm," he added, and Alix smiled as he looked at the lighting and noticed that some of them were moving in sync.

"Despite their destructive nature, they are nice," Alix said, and Adora glanced at him.

"Yes, they are; lightning is one of the most lethal phenomena, but it can also be beautiful at times," she replied, and the others agreed.

While looking outside, Adora's eyes began to glow red, and the marking of a star appeared in both of her eyes; when she noticed her reflection in the glasses, she saw it and immediately closed her eyes.

'Why is this happening all of a sudden?' 'Is it time or not?' she wondered.

"Where are you lost this time?" Ifrit asked quietly, and she sighed before opening her eyes and looking at him, who smiled.

"Do my eyes look normal?" she inquired.

"Yeah, why?" he asked and she exhaled deeply, realizing they went back to normal.

"I just wanted to know, because my powers do manifest from them at times," she responded.

"Well, I for one would like to see that every now and then," he said, and she smiled.

"It's dangerous, too dangerous for normal people," she replied, his brows furrowed.

"What's the danger?" Alix inquired, and she turned to face him with a nervous smile.

"A part of my powers," she responded and they looked at her.

"How dangerous is it?" Zavis asked.

"It's too dangerous for normal people to use, and it can make people greedy at times but one thing that I do know is that it's beautiful, its colors are unqiue," she responded.

"That would be nice to see but if that's the case, it's probably best not to use it too frequently, right?" Sarah asked and Adora lowered her head, no knowing how to answer the girl since the power was a part of her and that was something she and Alix had in common, something that she couldn't talk much about about the time.
