Rise of the Malactric Heir

After seeing Nina yawn, Adora knew the girl was tired and smiled a little.

"Are you tired?" Yan inquired.

"Adora," Yan said and she glanced at him.

"Who wants to sleep, who is tired, go get some rest, it is late and the guests are starting to leave, but the royals may take a while," she responded.

"All right, come on, let's go," Yan said as he and Nina walked away.

"I think you should get some rest, Adora, you worked hard today," Sarah suggested, and Adora smiled.

"I am fine, also you guys don't have to train tomorrow morning if you don't want to, relax," she replied and they smiled.

"We will, we have to," Olivia said.

"All right, guys, your choice," she replied as the king approached them.

"Can I borrow you for a minute or two, Adora?" he asked.

"Sure, what's up?" she asked when a guy came up to him and she chuckled.

"Is the universe putting annoying people in front of me on purpose?" she questioned as Nina and Yan returned to retrieve her purse, which she had left on the table.

"Seriously?" the guy asked.

"Are you here to talk trash about my father again? If you are I will hurt you severely because right now I am so not in the mood," Adora said and the guy lowered his head.

"Reason why she avoids royal parties, right?" Alix asked.

"Yeah, that's lord Lincon, he insulted Adora's father, she got angry, but held her own for her father's sake, she won't tolerate crap anymore," Nina responded and Alix scoffed.

"I'd like to see her let go a little more, maybe it'll help her feel lighter, she might not admit it, but it's obvious that she has too much to carry and whatever my role is going to be, I intend to destroy those who get in my way especially if they are wrong and I am right," Alix said, and Kyris smiled.

"I am sorry Adora, Lincon said and Adora looked at him with only anger in her eyes.

"I really am, I had no idea what was going on and yet I judged your father for being emotional and incapable of running the kingdom properly," he said and she sighed.

"Sit, we'll talk, you obviously want something too," she replied, and Alix smirked as they all sat down, and Lincon looked at her team, who were staring at him as if he were a criminal or suspect under investigation.

'These guys can get really scary, I can feel the chill in the air, damn,' Adrian thought with a nervous smile.

"Talk, we're all listening here," Alix said, to which Adora chuckled.

Lord Lincon was tall, muscular, and fair, with black hair, blue eyes, and a few wrinkles on the sides of his eyes.

"It's about the sources," Lincon said, and Adora gave him a sidelong glance.

"What about them?" she inquired.

"There was one in the past, one that was used to destroy an entire nation in the blink of an eye, it's said that the same power might have been used to kill the Malactrics," he replied, and Adora smirked.

"So other than these sources that we now know of, there is an extra one, where is it?" she asked.

"We don't know, it was said to have vanished into thin air," he replied.

"Power like that doesn't just disappear into thin air," Alix said.

"He is correct," Kyris stated.

"I know, my theory is that after the Malactrics died, someone might have obtained that power, or if they didn't, it must be somewhere in this world," Lincon replied. "The Malactrics were good at using their powers to their advantage, they could have done something to it, they were a bunch of monsters after all."

"Don't talk nonsense about people you don't know, being stronger doesn't make you a monster, you people feared them for their powers, thus their annihilation," Adora said as the others stared at her.

"You don't think they are monsters?" Adrian asked.

"No, I don't; right now, we could use some of their kind; if people weren't so stupid, they'd still be alive, though I think the enemy had something to do with that as well," she replied as they stared at her.

"You're saying their leader has been pulling the strings all along?" Alix asked, and Adora smiled.

"Yeah, I am not sure, but it's what I think also nothing can be certain without proof," she replied and they smiled.

'Sometimes the way she thinks scares me, especially when one doesn't even know what she's thinking, damn, they're all so alike,' Adrian thought.

"This is interesting," Alix said, his eyes turning red for a second then went back to normal, and Adora smirked.

"I know it is, it's like a game, they started it, whether we can finish it or not, that's up to us in a way," Adora responded.

"You kids are difficult to understand; are you enjoying this?" Lincon inquired.

"This is probably all connected to the past, which is connected to the powerful kingdoms, something must have happened," Adora explained.

"And we intend to find out what, right?" Alix asked.

"Right, we do because whatever it is, it got my mother caught up in it's madness too," Adora responded with a smile and Alix's eyes narrowed.

"Creepy smile," he muttered, but she heard him and her right eye twitched and she looked at him.

"I will kill you," she said.

"No, you won't," he replied, and she sighed.

"Whatever, it appears that this extra source is a bigger problem right now, but what's funny is that the enemy might be the one holding that power, damn we have a lot of figuring out to do, we will start by finding the next source, it's supposed to be the second to last, I have an idea where the next one might be, but I think the only way we can find the extra source is..." Adora said.

"It's to find all the ones we're currently looking for in the hopes that they'll lead us to that one," Alix added.

"Exactly," Adora agreed and the others smiled.

"Fine, I just wanted to let you know because
