Rise of the Malactric Heir

"Princess, there is no need for you to scream, just calm down and give in, he is coming for you as well, there is no escaping your faith, after all this was bound to happen according to him, of course, you don't want to end up like your mother," he said and her eyes, shook as her mother's death flashed before her eyes.

Her heartbeat increased as the shadows lifted her into the air, and another of the villain's minions appeared beside him, wearing a hoodie, and touched Nessa, causing a red flame-like substance to wrap around her body and her body to become hot.

"You shouldn't have brought up my mother," she said as she broke free from their grasp, but she was hurt and her hands were burned as a result of the red flame-like substance.

"Damn, she broke loose, you deal with her, I don't want to be here, she is tough to break because she has no such feeling," the second minion said before disappearing and she looked at the one which had the shadow ability.

"It will take a lot more of you to capture me," she said as a black flame began to form in her hand. As she released it, he dodged her using the shadows, and the flames hit the building beside them, causing the part to be engulfed in flame after which fell apart and she chuckled.

"Where are you hiding?" she asked as she looked around her then closed her eyes and focused on her surroundings.

'I know you're here, I'm going to kill you,' Adora thought as she sensed the guy approaching her, and as he was about to sneak up on her, she spun around, kicking him in the stomach, sending him flying, but he grabbed onto the shadows and regained his balance while chuckling as she looked at him.

"You are good, but you won't win against me," he shouted as he rushed towards her, his eyes glowing black, and she smirked as the glow appeared from the ground, wrapping around his limbs before changing back to its original color of red.

"How can you?" he asked.

"You don't use your ability against someone like me, I'm not bragging, if you were a master of the shadows you would have even had a chance to kill me, but you aren't, I want to kill you, I really do, but... I won't, not yet at least," she responded, and his eyes widened as he stared at the crazy look within her eyes as Alix and the others arrived.

"Adora, be careful," Alix said as the minion from before appeared behind her and Alix vanished, only to reappear behind her with his wolf, which roared as Alix's eyes glowed red.

"Touch her, and I'll kill you," he threatened, and Adora smiled.

"I am glad to see you guys, take him away or I will kill him, I am losing patience with them," Adora replied with a shady smile, and Alix gave her a sidelong glance before the wolf and the fox disappeared.

"If you guys want to fight, go ahead, let's see who wins and who loses," the minion said as flame-like substances formed behind him and Alix smirked as he rushed towards him and Alix jumped up in the air with his claws appearing and within a second he vanished and the guy lost sight of him.

When he finally sensed Alix, he was already behind him, and before he could react, Alix unleashed one of the small balls of lightning he was able to create with his ability, shocking the guy and knocking him unconscious in front of them.

"You've gotten really good at this, Alix," Kyris said as a green cuff appeared on both of the enemies' hands and Adora returned to normal along with Alix and the one who had the shadow ability smirked at Adora.

"You okay?" Alix asked as he looked at Adora's arm, which looked as though they had been burnt and she smiled at him.

"I am fine, thanks Alix," she responded and his eyes narrowed.

"You don't have to thank me, you had it under control, you just seem a bit different," he said and she lowered her head while gnashing her teeth.

"Princess, I suggest you heed what I told you," the shadow guy said and she looked at him and then sighed.

"Kyris, take care of both of them until we are ready to ask questions, it's almost night," Adora said, and Alix grabbed her hand, pulling her with him as he walked away, and she went quietly as Nina and the others smiled.

'I have a feeling they deliberately targeted her, they are not easy to predict, this is getting more dangerous not that I care, but something is now different' Alix thought as they got into the cars with the general and the knights then left.

After a while of silence in the car, Adora looked at Alix and sighed.

'He appears to be angry for some reason; what did that minion mean when he said I have no such feeling?' While looking out the window, Adora pondered, then closed her eyes and exhaled deeply.

They arrived at the castle after a while, and as they exited the cars, Alix noticed that their prisoners were nowhere to be seen.

"Where are they?" Alix asked.

"Relax, they're in a space where they can't escape or see us; I'll get them out when we're ready," Kyris responded before Alix looked up at the night sky, then the king and queen came out and sighed when they saw their daughter and everyone else was fine.

"Did you guys find what you were looking for?" the king inquired as they exchanged glances.

"Yes, we found what we were looking for, but I believe they will be much more difficult to break than we anticipated, they are strong,' Alix replied.

"Now that's going to be a problem, do you think the same princess?" the king asked and Adora looked at him.

"Yes, we only caught them because we took advantage of the situation, and they all got way better than before, these ones are also strong," she responded, and the king exhaled deeply before looking at his wife and daughter, not knowing what to say except wonder how strong Adora's team members might be and it made him feel pleased that his daughter was in capable hands.
