Rise of the Malactric Heir

"This conversation is making me hungry; guys, how are we going to determine whether he is bad or good?" Ayden inquired.

"Leave that to me for the time being; we have a spy to deal with, and the final is approaching; you guys need to focus, get your head together, win or lose, just give it your best shot, am I clear?" Adora questioned.

"You are clear, we will focus, but we will also help, and we assure you that no matter what, we will win the finals," Alix said as Adora stared at him and smiled, relieved at how much they are all growing.

"I am glad to hear that Alix, you guys go ahead and have breakfast, it's getting late," Adora replied and they all went to the dining hall, sat down, and began eating their breakfast.

While eating Adora noticed Kyllan's hands trembling and her eyes narrowed as she stared at him.

"Kyllan," she said, and he jumped.

"What is it, Adora?" he inquired.

"Are you all right?" she asked, and he forced a smile.

"Yeah, I am fine, why wouldn't I be?" he inquired.

'How much of a struggle is he having going from someone who had control over his body and power to someone who lost all of that in the blink of an eye, that is hard, I kind of understand how he feels even though we are not in the same situation,' Alix thought as he drank a glass of juice.

'I have to help him; if I don't, he might lose hope in himself,' Adora reasoned.

"Would you like to train with me on occasions, Kyllan?" Alix inquired, and Kyris smiled.

"Are you certain?" Kyllan asked.

"Yeah, I am; you are strong; perhaps we can help each other," he replied, and Kyllan smiled.

"Sure, I would love to," Kyllan replied, and Adora smiled.

'He's a great observer; I have to be careful around Alix or he'll pick up on a little too much,' Adora thought as she scrolled through her phone.

"Kyllan," Adora said, "after you finish eating meet with me on top of the waterfall, I would like to teach you one thing for now."

"Sure," he replied then looked at Alix.

"Also, guys, after the finals, I'll show you all what I look like," she said, and they all smiled brightly at her.

"Are you pulling our legs, or what?" Ayden inquired.

"Nina am I pulling their legs sweetheart?" she asked and Nina smiled.

"No, she's not pulling your legs, she's serious, I think she finally thinks it's time," Nina said as Adora stood up. Alix glanced at her, then she winked at him, and he immediately stopped chewing his food, and she chuckled.

"Alix, chew your food properly, I don't want you to choke, when you guys are done, you will find me on top of the waterfall, it's nice there, thanks for showing it to us Zavis," Adora said, as Alix continued to eat.

"You are welcome," he said then she left and Alix smiled.

"Jade," Adora called out as she left the castle, and the dragon approached her.

"Your highness," she said as she landed in front of Adora, who climbed onto her back.

"Can you take me up to the waterfall?" she asked.

"Of course," she replied before flying up in the air, and when they reached the top, Adora jumped off the dragon and sniffed the fresh air while the dragon lay across the ground and Adora smiled feeling energy in the air.

"Are you exhausted, Jade?" Adora inquired.

"I am just being lazy, my lady," she replied, and Adora chucked, then sighed as she looked at her hand.

"What bothers you, your highness?" the dragon questioned.

"Just something someone said to me, I think I am starting to become a big mess from within Jade," she responded and the dragon lifted her tail and tapped on Adora's shoulder.

"You are great my lady, no matter what happens, you will make it through it, that's what I believe, you just need to share a bit of your pain," Jade said, and Adora smiled before going up to the dragon and sat beside her while bracing her back against her scaly body, then her tiger and fox appeared beside her and she smiled as they lay before her and she petted them.

After a short period of relaxation, Adora and her beast pets fell asleep beside the dragon, and a little while after the others came up.

'She didn't sleep at all last night,' Alix thought when he saw her sleeping.

"What a view, I don't think we should wake her," Alix said and the others agreed.

"She has been really stressed out lately, we can train together," Eliza said.

"Sure, we can do that; should I take her back to her room or let her sleep here?" Yan inquired.

"I think we should let her sleep here, she seems relaxed, must be the air," Alix said.

"He is correct; just make sure you don't go near her in any way while you train," Kyris said.

"Got it," Aerav replied as he stretched off and Alix yawned a bit.

'What's going on with these two? Adora is tired and Alix is obviously a bit sleepy,' Kyris observed.

"Alix do you want to rest too?" Kyris asked and Alix looked at him.

"Nope, I am fine," he responded then took a deep breath and smiled.

"It sure is relaxing up here," he said as Kyris drew his sword and Alix watched him train with Yan.

"Are you ready, Kyllan?" Alix inquired, and he sighed.

"Yeah, I am," he responded as his eyes glowed red and the others looked at him.

'We both need to learn more control, I'm sure we'll be useful to each other,' Alix thought as his body began to glow red.

"Is this a good idea Kyris?" Yan asked and Kyris looked back at Adora.

"I think that they need to help each other, we will be right here if anything happens, I think we should trust them," he responded and Yan agreed with him as Kyllan clenches his fists, trying to relax his body and it started glowing black and Kyris's eyes widened as Alix's energy around him got stronger.
