Rise of the Malactric Heir

While looking at Adora, Alix sighed and his eyes began to glow red as his claws formed. The others looked at him, wondering which option he would choose, and he chose the least painful option, but little did they know that any option would be painful for Adora.

"I'm going with the first option," Alix said as he approached Adora and she could feel him close but couldn't do anything.

​ Alix gently pressed the tip of his claws against her skin, and her body trembled as his eyes glowed brighter, drawing the dark poison against him.

As the poisoned was being pulled from her body, she got even hotter, melting the ice around her and Misran sighed and Adora gnashed her teeth as she heard someone calling out her time and Alix sensed a heavy and unfamiliar presence and he gnashed his teeth as Adora forced herself away and grabbed onto Alix's hand while trembling.

The others looked at her as well as Alix and she forced a smiled as she stood up and Alix held onto her.

"Adora, you really shouldn't be standing," Kyris said and she coughed.

"It's better than being unconscious, I am not closing my eyes, not again," she replied and his eyes narrowed as Alix sighed and saw the poison coming out of the wound and Adora gnashed her teeth while squeezing Alix's arm and his eyes widened as she sunk her nail in his skin and he began seeing images of a child and other things.

Alix knew he saw those images before and he glanced at Adora as she lowered her head, not knowing what he saw and she braced her head against his shoulder.

"Alix, do it, now," she mumbled and he pulled stronger on the poison that exited her body and she clenched her fists, bearing the pain, and after the poison came out, she fell unconscious, and Alix grabbed onto her.

"Here," Ifirt said before lifting Adora up in his arm and placing her on the couch, then he looked at the poison floating in the air and Alix sighed.

"Can you mix your flame with mine? It will get rid of all of the effects of the poison as well," Alix said and Ifrit nodded.

Ifrit's eyes glowed orange as a cover of orange flames formed around the small ball of poison and a dark shade of Alix's flames formed over his, burning the poison, and a few minutes later, it completely disappeared and they went back to normal then sighed and Kyris went to Adora.

"Is she okay?" Alix asked as Kyris placed his hand on her head and he smiled.

"Yeah, she is fine, but she needs to rest," he responded and Alix clenched his right fist, remembering what he saw in the images.

"Kyris, do you know when she will be able to get up?" Alix asked and Kyris sighed before looking at Adora.

"Adora is strong Alix, she will be fine, maybe by tomorrow or so, on," Kyris responded as Alix sighed and Ifrit glanced at him.

'I wonder what the hell is going on between these two, I know Adora probably won't say anything as yet, but...' Ifrit thought as Adora's eyes opened and she flung up from the couch with her eyes trembling and the others looked at her.

"Thanks guys, I was not careful, I am sorry for worrying you," she said as her right arm trembled and the others sighed in relief.

"We are just glad that you are okay, Adora," Kyris replied and she smiled as she was about to close her eyes but didn't.

"I am going to my room to relax a bit, when you guys are done, set course for the next direction, you guys know where that is right?" Adora asked as they looked at each other.

"We know," Alix responded, and Adora smiled.

"Good, I think with the next location we'll get a break through, which means we'll find a truth, a truth that many have sought, including me and you," Adora said before walking away, and Alix gnashed his teeth before sitting down as the others returned to work.

Later that day, after the ship had been repaired, Alix looked at the map and carefully examined the connected lines to the various kingdoms, knowing that only at the next location would they be able to find more answers, and he also wondered what Adora was talking about and the truth that was soon to be revealed.

"Guys, we need to get ready to leave before nightfall," Alix said.

"He is correct, it is getting late and we should get going, we cannot forget that we have a mission to complete, this is not the time to tour," Misran added, and the others nodded as Adora entered the ship's living room, and the king and queen, as well as the princess, looked at her since they came to bid them farewell.

"Princess," the king said and Adora smiled at them.

"Thank you for your help, keep your home safe, we don't know what's going to happen," Adora replied and he smiled then patted her on the shoulder.

"We will do our best, we sent men and so on to help in this mission, we hope they will be of use to your father as well," he said.

"He always finds a use for anyone, don't worry," she replied and he smiled.

"Well, good luck to you guys and take care," the king said as he, the queen, and the princess bid them farewell then exited the ship, which began levitating in the air after closing its doors.

"Adora, are you sure this was the right choice?" Eliza asked.

"Yeah," she responded and Eliza smiled at her as she held onto her side and Alix glanced at her.

"Pretty sure it was the right choice, we need to keep moving if we expect to stop the enemy, I hope we reach to our next destination very soon, there are a lot of things that need to be done, there, we will be able to tell what to do next and fix the lines, I want some light on the hidden truths," Alix said and the others smiled at him since they wanted answers as well.
