Rise of the Malactric Heir

"You are strange even though you are one of the greatest demons," she said. "You didn't think much when you came and sealed yourself with me, you didn't realize how much it would take to break such a seal, idiot, you are lucky I got way stronger."

"You are right, Adora, please be careful, things are getting out of hand, I may be in here but I sense the magic around you and some are really dangerous on a great level as well," it replied as she sighed and looked up at the night sky.

"I know, don't worry too much, I'll be fine, I have to think about the others as well, I wonder what the future holds for us," she said as the shadow looked at her worried face and then up at the stars in the sky.

"I for one hope you all come out of this alive, you are just kids, you don't have to deal with this mess, I will help you, I promise, I don't want anything to happen to you, you have suffered enough because of the past, you and your friends, you and Alix are similar when it comes to suffering you know, that's one thing that is true, no one can deny that," it replied with a worried tone and a frown appeared on her face.

"I know, even I can't deny it, but some suffering leads to immense growth, and we are all proof, including you, silly demon," she said with a soft tone and a gentle smile on her face.

"Is that a phony or genuine smile?" It inquired.

"What kind of smile does it seem like to you?" she asked.

"A real one, well, maybe I'm wrong, I don't know," it replied and she chuckled.

"It's real, I have no reason to fake one right now, we're leaving here the day after tomorrow, I want them to relax and leave with a fresh mind, though that may be difficult," she said.

"Of course, nothing is looking good for any of us," it replied.

"That is true too," she said and it sighed.

"Yeah, I know, are you really going to rest after this Adora?" it asked.

"I'd rather do that to distract myself or watch TV or something," she replied.

"That is probably best when you are concerned; stay distracted; I don't want you going off on your own," it said.

"You're starting to sound like a dad," she teased.

"Ha, laugh at me, I care a lot about you, you do, believe me right?" it asked and she looked at the shadow.

"Of course I do, I have no reason not to believe you," she responded when her phone rang and she pulled it from her pocket to see it was Kyris's brother.

"Mister high and mighty," she said as she picked up the phone.

"Hello," he said.

"Thank you for calling," she replied.

"What happened? You don't just ask for me to call you, me of everyone else too, it's weird," he said and she chuckled.

"Paranoid much, please relax a bit," she replied, and he sighed.

"I'm not paranoid or freaking out for you to tell me to be calm, but what's up?" "Are you guys all right?" He inquired.

"Yeah, we're fine; Cameron wasn't before, but he is now," she replied.

"Again? I don't understand," he said.

"He was kidnapped by the team they played against in the finals, who turned out to be working for the enemy; he protected himself, but was hurt; Isabella turned out to be the spy among us, and I killed her and Vellon showed up when I was about to question one of the enemies, and he killed him before the boy could answer," she replied, and he sighed.

"Did he attack you? Are the others, including my brother, all right? "He inquired.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, and so are they; he didn't attack us; they took Isa's body, and I spared one of their lives for the time being; he looks more serious now, a bit cold," she replied, clenching her fists and the shadow looked at her.

"Serious as in getting more involved?" he asked.

"I don't know, I can't say for sure anymore," she responded and he sighed.

"This situation is getting worse, they need to stop, they are not the type who would listen to reason too," he said.

"I know, and you are correct; I just wanted to keep you updated on what was going on in case you didn't know," she replied.

"Well, now I do, are you guys coming home now?" he asked.

"Um... Not quite yet," she replied.

"Huh? What do you mean by "not quite yet," Adora? "He asked.

"With the permission of the others, we're going to the next source, hopefully," she replied, and he scoffed.

"Are you serious right now?" he questioned.

"Your tone, should we not then?" she asked.

"I- I am sorry, it's dangerous for you guys, you don't know if you will make it back alive, this kingdom is your responsibility next if anything happens to your father," he responded.

"I understand what you are saying, I didn't want to take them, but they won't take no for an answer either, and I know I'm the heir to his throne and this is me protecting the kingdom, we can't save it if they succeed, you should know that," she said to which he smiled for he knew she was right.

"Everything you are saying is right, believe me, I know that, you are right, we cannot just sit and wait," he replied and she smiled.

"See, even you know I'm right, and there's a lot more I have to do," she explained.

"I thought so, should I come with you guys?" he inquired.

"No, keep doing what I asked you to do, keep both of them safe, I am trusting you with this, the queen and the king are in your care, can you do that?" She asked and he sighed then the shadow looked up at the night sky.
