Rise of the Malactric Heir

'I know those hungry-looking eyes, I had them too, he wants to know more, in a way, I will wait to see what he does when he finds out, the end of this all will depend on you, after all, you are a trump card in a thing that is all connected, just a little more hurt before you are fully bloomed, I hate this,' Adora thought with a sigh.

"Well guys I am going to my room, I need more sleep as of now," Kyris said then left and the others went to do their own things too.

"Alix, you know which map I am referring to, right?" she asked as he got off of the bed and then looked at her.

"I was thinking it might be that one, but it just appears out of nowhere," he said, and she smiled and sat up.

"Don't worry about it, it will come to you, that map is a great tool, to be honest, not many people will see it, it is more valuable than you think," she replied as he looked in his right hand's palm.

"I believe you, and I understand it's none of my business, but you seem quite disturbed; what's going on?" he inquired.

"I have my own monsters to fight, Alix, I'm sure you understand," she replied.

"In a way, yeah, well, relax, I'm going to relax as well, it's quite boring not having anything to do," he said.

"I understand that feeling," she replied, and he chuckled before leaving as she stood up and returned to the balcony, where she opened the seal and the shadow appeared beside her.

"We made it safe and sound," she said.

"I'm glad you did, I was getting worried," it replied, and she sighed.

"Don't worry, we're all fine, though we have a lot of problems on our hands, including Hayden, Ayden's brother is here to get his hands on Vellon, who we're not even sure about yet," she sighed.

"I feel like screaming, one problem after another, where are they all coming from?" it inquired, and she chuckled.

"I, too, would like an answer to that question; it appears that we'll just have to deal with them as they come; also, you'll be out soon; I won't waste time; it's time I keep that promise," she replied, and the shadow looked at her.

"Are you going to do it in front of the others? Will you tell them?" he inquired.

"I can't, not yet," she replied. "I will release you without them present, you will go free, and maybe in the future, if you come to visit, I will introduce you, it's best not to do it now, you understand why?"

"Yeah, I understand why, and everyone who hears my name thinks I'm evil as well, thank you for giving me a chance Adora," it replied to which she smiled.

"You don't have to thank me, but you are welcome; you deserve a chance at a good life; if you ever need anything once you're out, call me; modern technology comes in handy," she said, and it chuckled.

"But it won't be the same, I've been within you for years, I'm used to keeping your company, talking with you," it replied, and she exhaled deeply.

"It's the same here, I'm used to having you around," she said.

"Adora, I was wondering what urged you to help me? "What made you allow me to be sealed within you that night?" it inquired.

"I saw a not guilty person in front of me, one with loneliness and pain in its eyes, and I couldn't leave you to be walked on by others," she replied, and the shadow smiled.

"It's nice to have someone who appreciates you and doesn't tremble in fear just hearing my name," it said, smiling.

"Yeah, I know it's nice, but back then it was just you and me, and now it's an entire team, and my responsibilities have skyrocketed," she replied and it chuckled.

"That is true, so what are you going to do now?" it asked.

"Well, I think I will go take a walk within the city later on, the others can go too, but they decided not to tour as yet, they can't wait to start training," she responded.

"With everything going on, it's no surprise, you've got one hell of a team kid," it said.

"You saying "kid" is a little strange," she responded.

"I know, I don't usually talk like that, but I also feel like my powers are growing stronger," it said.

"Yeah, I know, I sensed it a few times, that's a good thing," she replied.

"Is it?" questioned the one within.

"Yeah, the stronger you are now, the better it is for all of us, because you won't be able to get captured by authorities and so on, and you'll be able to stand up to even the strongest warriors," she replied.

"Is this a pep talk? I sort of feel uneasy now," it said and she chuckled.

"Relax, like I said, I am here for you now, you don't have to worry about these silly things,' she replied and it sighed.

"Scary, you are truly frightening!" it exclaimed and she smirked.

"I know, now tell me where you're going once you're free," she said.

"I think I'll go back to where I used to live, even though I don't have anything of my own anymore," it replied.

"Not true, you will have everything you need," she said as the shadow stared at her.

"Isn't this too much now? You have done too much for me," it said.

"Stop worrying like an old man, damn, I'll get you where you want to go, I can't wait to see you in person, I wonder if you've aged in appearance, you're a sight for sore eyes too, you know," she replied.

"Thank you, I can't wait either, I will be able to see you face to face, in person, also I will deal with you for calling me an old man," it said and she sighed then held onto her chest.
