Rise of the Malactric Heir



Adora's eyes widened as she stared at the energy around Alix's body and the look within his eyes, she swallowed as he looked at the energy flow around his body and Adora looked around the room as the air began getting heavy.

'This is bad, I cannot let the others sense a bit of this,' she thought before grabbing onto Alix's arm and he looked at her as she clutched him tightly.

"Contain it, please or the others will sense it and they will ask questions," she said as he looked into her eyes then sighed and his eyes began glowing brighter.

Alix took a deep breath and the energy began circling around his body before going into him and he returned to normal, then Adora exhaled deeply before starting to see a bit blurry and she sat down on the bed.

"Adora, are you okay?" he asked and she looked at him then smiled.

"Yeah, I am fine, you feeling a bit stronger, don't you Alix?" she asked and his eyes narrowed as he stared at her.

"Yeah, I feel a bit stronger, let me ask you something," he responded before approaching her and placing his finger under her chin, raising her face upwards.

He leaned in closer to her and her cheeks flushed as she stared into his eyes. Adora kissed Alix on his lips, then lowered her head as her eyes shimmered and a smirk appeared on Alix's face.

"Are you embarrassed?" he asked.

"No, I am not, why would I be?" she asked and he smiled.

"If that's so, then you should be looking at me, why are you looking away from me instead, Adora?" he asked and she looked at him and he sat down beside her then exhaled deeply and she glanced at him as he laid back on the bed.

"What's the matter?" she asked.

"I am feeling different from when I first joined you guys, it's weird and I don't know why, but there is a part of me that..." he responded and she smiled at him.

"There are many reasons as to why you are feeling that way, hang in there a bit longer and you will find out more about it," she said and he glanced at her then raised up and hissed her and she braced her head against his with her cheeks flushed.

'She is embarrassed, I am somewhat relieved to see that she can show that kind of emotion as well,' Alix thought and Adora buried her face in his chest and he chuckled before placing his hand on her back.

"I want to sleep..." she mumbled.

"Then sleep, no one is stopping you," he added and just then her phone rang and she exhaled deeply before raising off of him.

Adora took the phone out of her pocket and she looked at the number, then smiled before getting up from the bed.

"I will go take this," she said and he nodded, then she left the room and he decided to go with the others who were in the living room.

Alix went to them and upon seeing him, they smiled and he joined them as they talked about mastering their abilities and how good they had gotten.

"Alix, have you mastered your current abilities?" Ifrit asked and Alix looked at his right hand palm and then sighed.

"I have mastered what I knew before, they didn't take that long to be honest and I have been learning a few new things lately, even applying different fighting styles to my abilities," Alix responded and Ifrit smiled after hearing that.

"That's a good thing, knowing that during a hard fight, will help you more than you know, I can help you guys with a few things if you want, all you have to do is ask," Ifrit said and they smiled then thanked him and he looked at his reflection on the surface of the table.

Ifrit's past came flashing before his eyes and when he remembered the amount of lives that were once lost, he got up and excused himself from the living room and Alix looked at him then remembered what Adora told him about Ifrit.

While they were talking in the living room, Adora was talking to someone else on the phone.

"Did you find anything?" she asked.

"We did what we had to do to get a few of them to answer our questions, some didn't want to cooperate, but we didn't kill anyone, seems like he is going to make another move soon when he targets another kingdom you guys will know or if I was told he doesn't give any information about their missions until it's time for them to do it, that's a smart ass move," the person responded and Adora sighed.

"He is smart indeed, keep updating me on what's going on, I am going to try and get in touch with the other teams, it's time we make a move on our own," she said.

"Talk it over with your team that you are with for now and yes, we will prepare ourselves to make a move, for what might be coming to us, take care, your highness," the person replied.

"You as well, I will call the shot, I will do what it takes to prevent this from happening, bye," she said before hanging up and walking away.

Alix went to talk to Ifrit who went to the upper deck and Ifrit looked at him as he approached then sighed.

"Came to take some fresh air as well, Alix? Or did you come to train?" Ifrit asked and Alix scoffed.

"Fresh air, I guess, is that what you came here for or did you come to clear your mind?" Alix asked and Ifrit glanced at him before exhaling deeply.

"You can say that I came to clear my mind, there are a lot of things going on these days, it makes you think of things you may not want to," He responded and Alix sighed.

"Yeah, I know, but right now, what's bothering you?" Alix asked and Ifrit smiled at him.

"The past," he responded and Alix glanced at him, then Ifrit looked up at the sky and Adora went to the control room to check on Scott and the direction they were going.
