Rise of the Malactric Heir

Everyone couldn't help but stare as Alix was reopening the portal, even Adora did not expect that to happen and he glanced at her then smiled and her brows furrowed as she looked at him, with many emotions stirring inside of her, but not once, could she bring herself to speak about.

"Are you guys ready?" Alix asked.

"How are you even able to do that?" Dral asked and Alix shrugged then Dral exhaled deeply, knowing that the Malactric's abilities were not one that could be underestimated.

After a few minutes, the portal opened back up, fully and Alix moved aside and Aragi as well as Kyris stepped forward and Ayden from Alix's team, as well as Aerav and Alix glanced at Adora.

"You are not coming along, trust me, I will return with your father," he said and she lowered her gaze.

'Everything is going off like an alarm within me, telling me not to let them go but what if I make the wrong decision once again, this won't be good at all,' she thought then exhaled deeply.

Alix placed his hand on her head, causing her to flinch and she held onto his hand, as the queen looked at them closely and her eyes narrowed.

'These two really care for each other, they are young and have to deal with all of this, I don't want anything to happen that separates them, but why do I have a bad feeling about this, what is going to happen to these two?' she wondered and Adora sighed.

"Don't-" she said and Alix glanced at her as he leaned in closer and she swallowed.

"What's the matter?" he asked as he looked at her and she looked at him, unable to answer his questions and his eyes narrowed then he sighed.

"I will be off now," he said and just as Aragi went in, the king flung out.

Adora's eyes widened as her father crashed into the ground and regained his balance and they all looked at him and he looked at them with blood dripping down the side of his face.

"Father," she said and she flinched when she looked back at the portal, which had begun closing and Aragi was within it.

"Aragi," Adora called out and Alix tried holding back the portal from closing and the king exhaled deeply.

"How long do you think you will be able to hide from me, Adora? The time is near, it has been long enough, you know what will come to you, I suggest you choose... There is no turning back, your worst nightmares will come through," someone said and she swallowed, knowing who it was and she closed her eyes and Alix looked at her, wondering what he was talking about.

"Aragi, switch," Alix said.

"I... can't... I am sorry, Alix, close the portal," he replied and Alix gritted his teeth as he pushed his hand within the portal and grabbed onto Aragi, who looked back as a guy was standing before him.

'What is he doing? Is he that confident in his abilities to take on whoever follows me out?' he wondered.

"I don't care, I will kill them if I need to," he said as he pulled Aragi out of the portal and it closed then Alix and Adora sighed.

'Is that it? What the hell are you up to?' Alix wondered as he looked at the king then approached him and the king glanced at Alix.

"He is giving me up to tomorrow night to make a decision, that was one of their bases, I didn't get a good look at it, he shouldn't underestimate me like that," the king said and Adora approached her father and wiped the blood off of his face and his brows furrowed as he looked at her.

"What did this all do to you?" he asked.

"It doesn't matter, father, what's done is done, it's already night, go back to the castle, please, discuss more if you want, don't worry about me," she responded with a smiled and Alix looked at her.

"Let's head back, I am glad you are okay, he is going to hit us after you give him the answer, which I am pretty sure he knows already, he is just trying to push more fear by doing what he did here today, showing that he can do anything, we have to do the same or only death remains for us," Alix said and Dral left staring at him.

"The only way to win this is to kill all those who comes at us without even any hesitation, that or we will fall and so will the city, each of us has a responsibility here, we have to fulfill it, this is going to be the end," Alix added and the king smiled at him.

"You are right about that, the final part of this is here, let's go get some rest at the castle, tomorrow we will do the rest, the city will be fully evacuated by then as well," the king said and Alix nodded then turned around looked at Adora, who seemed distracted.

'What does he mean by hide?' Alix wondered as he looked at her but couldn't ask at the moment.

"Aragi, I am sorry for your loss, I really am, but I will get you payback," Alix said as he approached him and Aragi smiled then sighed.

"You really are the type that doesn't give a damn about how strong the enemy is, you will still fight, you are crazy type aren't you?" Aragi asked and Alix shrugged.

Everyone wanted to talk about what happened that day and about what may happen next but were tired, since for the past few days, they were quite busy.

"Let's head back," Aragi said and he nodded then looked at Adora and before she could move, he grabbed onto her arm.

"Don't even think about it, it's been a long and tiring day, let's go back, you and I will talk tomorrow as well, don't even try to dodge my questions, am I clear?" he asked with a serious expression on his face and she lowered her head then nodded.

Alix was not the type to harass Adora in any way, but he knew that it was time to come clean and not hide things from each other, due to what was coming and he had to know what she knew, what was being a burden on her shoulders.

"Let's go," he said then they all left the area and returned to the castle.
