Rise of the Malactric Heir

While everyone was eating in the dining hall, Adora's phone rang and she took it out of her pocket, looked at the number and sighed.

"Hello," she said.

"What's going on over there?" the person asked.

"I think you know what's going on here, relax, you know I won't let anything happen to him as long as I'm alive," she said.

"That's not what I'm concerned about; are you all right?" he asked and her eyes widened.

"You are the mage of our kingdom and Kyris's brother; you would not be concerned about me, are you okay?" She questioned.

"Yeah, I'm fine, your father, he's not feeling well, Adora," he said and she frowned.

"I know, he will be fine though, don't worry," she replied.

"What's the problem, Adora?" Kyris asked as he walked into the hall and she looked at him.

"Is he reprimanding you?" he inquired.

"No, for once he isn't," she replied.

"Adora, you might run into someone unexpected there; brace yourself for the worst," the mage warned.

"Got it, you sound strange... I recommend that you get some rest; your brother will be fine later "She hung up as Kyris sat down, poured himself a glass of wine, and sighed.

"He'll be just fine," Kyris said, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good," she said, clutching her head.

"I really need some time off or this will get worse," she thought.

"Adora, catch," Kyris said as he pulled a bar of chocolate from his pocket and tossed it at her, which she caught.

"Thank you," she said, and he smiled.

"I have a bloody bad feeling about today," Adora said as she stood up.

"I'll be in my room if you need anything," she said as she walked away.

"She's behaving strangely," Alix observed as he drank a glass of juice.

"I need to talk to you," Adora said as she went to her room and unlocked her chest seal.

"What is it, Adora?" it inquired.

"Do you sense another demon like yourself around here?" she questioned.

"Yeah. I felt it close to Cameron "It reacted.

"I'm wondering if it's after you," she presumed.

"If that's the case, then give me up and don't cause yourself problems," it replied, and she scoffed.

"You may be one of the most feared and dangerous demons of all time, but that's just nonsense to me; you're close to me, and I'm not giving you up," she said, smiling as a blue light reflected in the mirror.

"You're welcome; you know I'm not going to let them have you; I'm stubborn; if I claim something, it's mine." She yawned and laid back on the bed.

"Adora, your powers have grown, and I sense great power from that young man, Alix is a threat," it said, and she laughed.

"He might be a threat, I don't care about that, for some reason I feel sorry for him, the damn guy doesn't even know his origins, but I have a pretty good idea what that might be," she replied.

This is serious, Adora; you are aware of what will occur if your perception of him is accurate.

"I'm sorry, but I am not going to change my mind; I will keep him and help him reach his true potential; to hell with the future; I don't care what it holds," she replied, with her eyes glowing red. "Come on, live a little; there is nothing wrong with being powerful; it's fine to have people fear you and in his case, that will be good."

"Well, I don't think it will be good, but I will support you if this is what you want; however, how do you feel about him? Just a regular pal? or more?" It questioned.

"I'm not sure, it seems like the others have taken a liking to him, but I think he's fine," she replied.

"I see, well, I just want you to be safe, lock me up again, you don't want anyone finding out about me," it said, closing the seal as she sighed.

"If only you could have a normal life, if they find out about you, who knows what will happen," she thought as she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Later that day, while Adora slept, Alix returned to the top of hIll because he wanted to know what else he could do with his powers, and since they weren't coming forward on their own, the boy was eager to see what he was capable of and decided to bring them forth even if it had to be by force.

"All I have to do is concentrate," he muttered as he sat down on the grass under a tree, closing his eyes and clenching his fists.

"I need to get somewhere; the princess is pushing me; I need to push myself more as well," he thought as his body began to glow and the wind around him became stronger.

"I can feel the block she was talking about," Alix thought as a small ball of fire appeared around his fists and lightning surrounded the other, while the black mark began to spread all over his body, causing him severe pain.

"This has never happened before," he said as he endured the excruciating pain while smiling at the fire and lightning, but the glow from his body glowed even brighter, having caused the ground beneath him to tremble and the tree to shake, and Kyris to sense the darkness.

"It's the same thing as before," Kyris said as he flung himself up from the couch in the living room, while Adora, who was sleeping, sensed Alix's power and woke up immediately.

"She warned me, I can't let anyone find out," Alix thought as he closed his eyes, attempting to control his power. As he relaxed, his body stopped glowing and returned to normal.

"Bastard, he's starting to get the hang of this," Adora thought as a smile appeared on her face and she rose from the bed, feeling relieved.
