Rise of the Malactric Heir

Xemon entered the living room while they were eating, exhaling deeply, and Alix looked at him.

"What's the problem?" Alix inquired, and he looked at him before taking a seat.

"Just have other things to handle, Adora I found one location in which you can capture an enemy or other things, whatever pleases you," he responded and she looked at him with a smile.

"Keep talking, I'm paying attention, and you can take something to eat as well," she said, and he scoffed.

"All right, I've been digging a lot with the king's help and the locations your other teams gave us where they ran into the enemy, and it's looking okay so far," he replied as she sipped her coffee.

"Okay, keep on talking this is interesting," she said and he smiled.

"I think you guys should visit one of the nations that helped in the war," he replied and she sighed.

"Another friendly get-together with more royals?" she inquired.

"I know you don't like those, but going there will be a good idea," he replied.

"The reason is that they have been spotted at most of the kingdoms that were associated with the war, helped cause it, and helped end it, the war in which my father played a dirty role, kiddo," the king explained, and they all looked at him.

"Exactly what he just said, this will help, I have a feeling we're closer than we think," Xemon added.

"I see, those were also linked to the Malactrics and Draconics, you are correct, it will be a good idea to go there and we will, tell us which place you think we should visit first?" Adora inquired.

"I'll give you the location; you decide when you're ready to go because I don't think we have much time before the enemy figures out how to unleash hell on all of us," he replied.

"It can be sooner than we think, that dread feeling you get around the crystal, it came from the person who caused Adora's eyes to bleed as well," Alix said and they all looked at him.

"You think that might be their leader, Alix?" Adora asked.

"He is strong, as I am sure all of you already know that, so he fits the bill perfectly, but who is he? What if this person is not that different? Someone who might know more about us and other things?" Alix inquired, and Adora lowered her head.

"Knows more about us than others do, of course, he does, he is not unstoppable, that's for sure, but..." Adora responded.

"You are correct, he is not unstoppable, but he is powerful enough to destroy most of us, which is why I can't wait to see who it is, why he is doing this, not that I care, all I feel is that I want him to die by my hands, he is someone who will destroy those who has more than just a chance at destroying him," Alix said as Adora stared at him and his eyes began to glow red as he heard the same scream echoing in his head and he smiled before returning to normal.

"Seems like you feel it's your duty to end him," Xemon replied, and Adora smiled, knowing why Alix felt that way and that he has truly changed.

"I think it's time we put an end to all of this, it's been going on long enough, if he gets what he wants, we're all doomed, and I have no intention of letting those I care about die," the king said, clenching his fists.

After seeing how they all were, Adora, Alix, and the others realized it was time for them to seek the truth that had been hidden in the shadows, and it was time to begin bringing it to light.

"I suggest you guys go visit whomever you want and so on, we will be setting a course tonight, we all agree that this has to end," Adora said as they sighed.

"Losing isn't an option at this point," Alix replied, and they agreed.

"I'll go see Sally as well, she's been a great help," Alix said, and Adora smiled at him before they all left to see the people they needed to see.

After they had left, the queen smiled as she looked at Adora's necklace.

"That's pretty," she said and Adora looked at the necklace and then at her before smiling.

"Thank you, I got it from Alix," she replied.

"That's a good one, I like that kid, and you seem to understand each other," the queen said, and Adora nodded.

"They really do, after all they are bonded in many more ways than one," Ifrit replied as he sat down beside Adora and the king and queen smiled at him.

"What are you doing here, Ifrit?" Adora inquired, and he patted her on the shoulder before shrugging and she smiled.

"I know it's fine," she said, and he smiled.

"Ifrit, I'm not sure what happened that night, but did you always mean to protect Adora?" the king asked, and Ifrit smiled as he looked at Adora.

"Yeah, she is an awesome kid, her mother would have been proud to call her daughter," he responded as he lowered his head and Adora grabbed onto his arm and he smiled.

"Thank you, Ifrit, we owe you a lot as well," the king said.

"There is no need for that, I did what I had to do because, she saved me as well," he replied.

"Father, I will tell you both exactly what happened, but before that there are a few things I need to take care of, there are a lot of things from the past that simply just need to come to light," Adora said and the king sighed.

"I know and believe me, I understand very well, I am not going to rush you, because I know that there is too much going on right now and there are bigger problems to deal with, hopefully, another day we will be able to talk more about this," the king replied with a smile and the queen patted him on the shoulder.
