Rise of the Malactric Heir

After answering Kyris, Adora sat down and braced her head back against a pillow.

"That happens from time to time," he said, and she nodded.

"Also, he told me after giving my father the news about the crystal, he has been on edge and ever yelled and some of the members in the parliament, your brother said it was a sight to behold," she replied and Kyris chuckled.

"I'm pretty sure it was, they must be upset," Kyris said, and the others nodded.

"Your brother will also be assisting in the search for the crystal's location once we return," Adora replied.

"That's good to know," Eliza said.

"Yeah, we're going to need all the help we can get looking for that thing; it's not going to be easy to find," Zack said.

"True," Nina replied, to which Kyllan sighed.

"Kids, come and have breakfast now, I am hungry," the king said, and they laughed before going to the dining hall to eat.

Later that morning, after they finished their breakfast, Adora went to the waterfall, sat down under a tree, put on her headphone, and began listening to music because she wasn't in the mood to train and knew she had promised to train with the others one on one and had already done Kyris and owed Alix another round but they didn't have time left so she planned on keeping that promise when they returned home.

She didn't know how long they'd be home for, but she made the decision to make sure they got the training they needed. They'd all improved a lot, so she knew it wouldn't be easy for them to lose a fight now.

Adora closed her eyes while listening to music when she felt someone looking at her, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Zavis looking down at her and smiling.

"Are you feeling okay?" he inquired.

"Yeah, why?" she asked as he took a seat beside her.

"You're not training with the others; they're training in the valley," he said and she smiled.

"That's great; the more they train together, the better for them," she said and he smiled.

"Adora, this could lead to a major war, huh?" he asked.

"Yes, but of what kind? No one knows, which is why we must fight, no matter what; some of us are fighting not to protect the world, but to protect those we care about; hopefully, things will go our way," she responded then patted him on the back.

"Yeah, hopefully, it goes our way, I can't help but feel this way," he said and Adora smiled.

"I understand how you feel and you have every right to feel that way, but you have to relax a bit, we all need to, you guys are half prepared for the storm that's coming," she replied as he rested his head on her shoulder and she smiled as she looked at the flowing water and the sky reflecting on it.

"Doesn't that look lovely?" she inquired.

"Yeah, it does," he replied, and she sighed before he rose off of her and they both stood up.

"Do you want to take a walk in the valley? You are my cousin, and I know you are used to taking care of things, but we are a team right now, and I need to make sure you are relaxed, because you are currently too stressed "He smiled as she walked away, then followed her to the valley where the others had sat down on the soft grass after a while of training, and some were lying down.

"Oh? What exactly happened here?" Adora asked.

"We're tired, we worked hard for a while," Olivia replied.

"I see, well relax, good job on taking your training more seriously," she said as she walked away and Alix glanced at her while Zavis followed her as the wind blew colder and stronger due to which her hair blew up, causing her pony to open up, and Zavis grabbed her scrunchie, grinned, and handed it to her.

"Thank you," she said, tying her hair up in a bun, and he closed his eyes, taking in the fresh air, then exhaled deeply, and Adora picked a sweet-smelling flower from the side of the valley and placed it by his nose, and he sniffed it before opening his eyes and seeing a pink flower that looked like a sunflower and smiled.

"It smells like candy, thank you Adora, I feel much better after our little talk, my shoulders feel lighter," he explained.

"Good," she replied, "I'm glad to hear that, and you're welcome."

"Good," he said as his eyes began to glow green and she began to float in the air.

"He has gotten the hang of his powers, that's nice," Alix said as he looked at them, then Zavis turned to look at Alix with a smirk on his face.

"Huh? What's up with that expression?" Alix inquired, and Adora began flying toward Alix at full speed.

"Hey, Zavis, she is going too fast, she will fall if you lose balance, be careful," Aerav said, and Zavis's eyes stopped glowing. She fell on top of Alix, and he gnashed his teeth and rubbed the back of his head, which had been hit against the ground but not hard to cause him any damage or severe pain.

"I am sorry," Zavis apologized, and Nina chuckled as Adora raised her head up, and Alix raised his head to look at her as well, and their heads collided.

"Ouch," she said, rubbing her head, as did Alix, and Kyris smiled at Zavis.

"You-," Alix said as he glanced at her and he left staring at her face and his eyes glanced at her breasts for a split second due to them showing a bit and he exhaled deeply as he placed his hand on her waist and she looked at him.

"I'll get up," she said as he sat up and lifted her off him then she fixed her hair and brushed off her clothes and exhaled deeply.
