Rise of the Malactric Heir



Dral sighed after Alix told him to finish off his part of the story and he glanced at Adora then she lowered her head before stepping away from them and looking at the tree and the energy that was surrounding it at the moment and her eyes shimmered slightly before going back to normal.

"After the king took his last breath, the baby began crying, grabbing my attention because I was completely lost at the moment, not a word could come out of my mouth and the woman beside him, practically broke down crying as well, I didn't know what to do," he said.

"Of course, you wouldn't, everything was literally just taken from you..." Alix replied and Dral glanced at him before nodding.

"The only thing that came to my mind was the child, I took him from her hands and as he stared up at me with his bright eyes, I couldn't help but smile a little, his eyes were filled with hope for our future, he placed his hand on my cheek and when his eyes lit up red, that's when I knew what I had to do," he said and they looked at him.

"The child showed me a glimpse, this only happened this once because his powers had now begun forming within him, it was of our future, it showed me a glimpse of what we would be facing and I saw the guys that attacked and destroyed everything in it, just that small part and that's when I decided to put what we had to use," he added.

"He showed you the future? Can he actually see the future?" Kyllan asked and Dral looked at him and then smiled.

"No, that was just a one-time thing, it can happen, shifts between their power causes something unnatural for just a small amount of time, probably happened because of what he had seen, with his own eyes, that child saw his parent's death, he doesn't have the ability to see the future, he didn't have it back then and certainly doesn't have it now," he responded before sighing.

"I handed her the child after what he showed me and to protect him, I couldn't let anyone know he was alive after the sun rose, I looked up at it and asked her to leave with him, she wanted to stay for the funeral but she couldn't, I gave her the money and sent her away from there, she had to leave immediately."

"After she left, those who survived came out of hiding and everyone was shaken after hearing about their deaths. I couldn't talk about the child either, surprisingly a lot of us survived, enough to keep our civilization alive and do what we needed to, most that survived were the normal people and warriors."

"We all came together that day with more than one goal and that was to hopefully stop them and avenge our king and queen, not matter how many years it took, we did the king and queen's funeral, we buried them at their favorite spot in this land, every kingdom heard about the attack but didn't get much information all they knew was that the king, the queen and their child was dead, like the enemy wanted it to be when he attacked us."

"A few days after the burial, Adora's parents came to the land, I was the one that greeted them and showed them their graves, even told them parts of what happened," he said and Adora glanced at him with her brows furrowed.

"Then, are you telling me, they knew about these people all along? Were they helping you?" she asked.I think you should take a look at

"They knew of the ones that attacked, other than that, nothing more and I made sure not to get them involved any further, they were already deep in all of it, they had a child of their own to protect," he responded and she sighed.

"Your father and mother offered us a home but I told them we will find a new place and move on just so that they wouldn't risk everything and they understood and believed that we would leave this place, however, when they left, they could never return because we hid this place," he added.

"My mother and father would have wanted to return, I doubt they could have let go of what happened to their friends," she said and he scoffed.

"I am pretty sure your father and mother kept on digging into the matter though, about what happened that night and especially after this land just disappeared, unfortunately, I couldn't tell them anything, you understand why all of this had to happen, don't you guys?" he asked as they exchanged glances.

"You were just trying to prevent another destruction from happening, which is why you kept her parents in the dark, you didn't want the same thing to happen," Alix responded and Dral nodded.

"I know, we all understand why you had to do it Dral, you did the only thing you could at the time," Adora added and he smiled at her.

"I made my mind up to stop the ones that caused this mess and we all decided to start over with the resources we had left from the king and queen, I told them that the woman left to start over elsewhere, they understood, I became the leader of the new civilization here, I didn't want them to do the same to others, I wanted the heir to be able to live freely but years later, after sending him to live in your city, Adora, I realized that it was only going to get worse," he said.

Everyone looked at Adora and she smiled at them then looked at Dral and she patted him on his shoulder and he gritted his teeth while clenching his fist.

"I watched him grow up with the woman over the years, I was there for him many times, we trained here and got stronger, we kept on growing in numbers while digging into what happened that night and we found out a lot more about them, but just when we found out that they were an organization, since their activities were limited over the years, then another tragic event happened," he said.

"Another?" Aerav asked.

"The death of Adora's mother right in front of her eyes happened, another caught in the storm," he responded and they glanced at her and she clenched her right fist and had a gentle smile on her face and Alix glanced at her then sighed.
