Rise of the Malactric Heir



Adora tapped Alix on his shoulder as he was thinking then he glanced at her hand and his brows furrowed, then he placed his hand on hers and she flinched a little and his eyes narrowed. 

"Adora," he said and she moved her hand away from him and he sighed, since he was getting confused about a few things and Ifrit glanced at him. 

"What were you thinking about, Alix?" the king asked and he sighed, having a feeling that things might get out of hand soon enough but wondering in what more way. 

"I was thinking about the way I felt when I was there last night," he responded and the king's eyes narrowed. 

"All right, go ahead and tell me what exactly was going on with that area and tell me how you felt as well, maybe this can help us in some way," the king said and Alix smiled a little then nodded. 

"Also, I have to say, you are grabbing my interest every day now, Alix, the way you are now is completely different from when I first met you, you have grown a lot over these past few months," the king added and Alix glanced at him. 

"I see, well, we have done a lot of things and been through a lot of things that helped in changing all of us, look closer and you will see how much these things have changed for us," Alix said and the king scoffed then sat down. 

"I will, with time I will observe you guys and see how much you have grown, especially in the current situations, the current crisis that we may be facing soon," the king replied and Alix lowered his gaze and Adora glanced at him. 

The king looked at the way, Alix kept on spacing off and wondered what more he was thinking about so carefully. 

"The energy there was indeed disturbed and you are right, it could have been used as a form of transport, I also picked up on one of the energies mixed in there, it is from one of those from the bad side, I felt their presence too many times for it to just get pass me, I just didn't focus on it earlier," Alix said and the queen glanced at him. 

Adora sighed when she heard that, wondering what more there could be there that they needed to know about and understand. 

"So, they are the ones that did that, they are going to make their final move sooner or later, they have been doing a lot of things which we had no idea about but now we got so close that they will eliminate anyone they think is a threat to them," the king replied. 

"Yeah, that's what I think as well, now the final target is going to be here, that much we do know, there are only a few more things that we have to figure out, also, we need to know more about this energy, that way we will know what to do if they are planning on using it and maybe put a few stops in their plans," Alix said. 

The king smiled at Alix as did the queen and Adora glanced at her father and the way he and Alix were talking to each other, as though they were buddies and she smiled a little. 

"Yeah, you are right, which is why we are going to work harder, before they come here, we have to start doing more things to get in their way, after all, this is no child's play and lives are on the line, I have seen what they can do already," the king replied and Alix sighed. 

"True, they are strong and cannot be underestimated, especially the leader, he is pulling the strings, his subordinates will do anything to please him, I have seen it before, they can give their lives for him, it's how much they believe in his purpose, after all, he is the one that defeated on of the strongest Malactrics," Alix said. 

Alix clenched his right fist tightly and the others exchanged glances, wondering if now he was going to tell the king and Adora glanced at him with her brows furrowed. 

"You are right on the spot with that kid, that's exactly how they are and you guys have grown to know about them quite a lot as well, well, you did experience that kids your age shouldn't experience, it's all out of order, but you seem a little off when the part with their leader defeating the Malactrics leader is concerned," the king replied and Alix glanced at him. 

"Well, we did learn a lot when we visited the homeland of the Malactrics, what happened that day, it's quite a place," Alix said and the king scoffed. 

"Yeah, I know that, it's a place that's important in history actually, my best friend history, well now things are different, I hope that we can all put and end to this, this is something that erupted from the past after all," the king replied and Alix smiled at him then nodded. 

The king then stood up and everyone looked at him and he exhaled deeply as he thought about his people and what may happen to them if they didn't gather all of their power, since he knew that the enemies were strong. 

From what Adora as well as Alix and the others had told him earlier, he knew they have gotten stronger and had many more powerful people by their side, since they had evolved as well. 

'Well, now shall we start finding out more? Do you mind if I assign some of this to you guys?" the king asked and they exchanged glances as he looked at them. 

"We will help with that, it's best if we do this and if it's something that they plan to use, we will stop them," Alix responded and the king smiled as he looked at him then Adora glanced at Alix and she lowered her gaze. 

"Father," Adora said and he looked at her. 

"Your Highnesses, we are home," someone said and when Adora and the others turned around, Adora's eyes narrowed as they stared at the group of members that were standing before them and Alix's eyes narrowed.
