Rise of the Malactric Heir

"Are you sure?" Adora asked, considering Kyris\'s request and he smiled.

"Yeah, I am, and I think I can take you on," he replied, and she chuckled.

"All right, if that\'s what you think, then I\'ll gladly train with you," she said.

"Really?" he asked.

"Yeah, you\'ll be good to practice with, and it\'ll be a good workout for me as well," she replied, and Kyris smiled as she took her food and began eating with a stern yet cold expression in her eyes.

After everyone had finished eating, Adora got up and went to her room, while the others went to theirs, deciding to call it a night because they didn\'t know what time they would arrive at their destination and wanted to get enough rest.

Alix went to his room, freshened up, changed, turned on the TV, and began watching a movie because his nightmares were getting worse and needed something to make him fall asleep, but he always manages to get a few hours of sleep in so that he doesn\'t feel tired.

\'I swear this is starting to irritate me a little, I\'d like to get at least ten hours of sleep, even if it\'s just once in my lifetime, I want to sleep in peace without having any of these blood dreams,\' Alix thought as he watched TV.

Later that night, Alix fell asleep while watching the movie, and Adora fell asleep while listening to music on low volume because it was helping her sleep, even if only slightly.

When Alix awoke the next morning, he stretched, turned off the TV, and was about to go freshen up when he noticed it was already 10 a.m.

"I wonder when we\'ll arrive?" he wondered as he stood up and went to the bathroom.

A little while after Alix finished freshening up, he got changed and left his room to go have breakfast with the others, but upon arriving there the only person he saw was Adora laying on one of the couches with her headphone on and her eyes closed.

"Well, good morning, your highness," he said as he sat down, and at the same time, she opened her eyes and looked at him before removing her headphone.

"Good morning, Alix," she said.

"Good morning, are you still sleepy?" he inquired.

"No, just relaxing a little, you slept, okay?" she asked.

"You could say I did in a way," he replied, and she smiled before wiping her eyes, which glowed red for a moment before returning to normal.

"Are your powers all right?" he inquired, and she looked at him.

"Why won\'t they be?" she asked.

"I notice your eyes glowing more than once for a split second before stopping," he replied.

"Don\'t worry about it, it\'s normal for me, I guess I\'m just a little on edge, it\'ll be fine," she said.

"Are you sure?" he inquired.

"Alix, are you worried about me?" she asked, and he gave her a stern look.

"We probably need you so..." he replied, to which she scoffed.

"Probably? "What if you guys wake up one day and I\'m gone?" she questioned, and he sighed.

"You won\'t leave like that, I would be right if I knew you even a little," he replied, and she smiled.

"You\'re a complicated one, Alix," she remarked.

"That I agree with," Ayden said as he entered the living room, followed by Sarah and a few others.

"Good morning to you as well, Ayden," Alix said as he sat down.

"Good morning, guys," Yan said before sneezing, drawing Adora\'s attention.

"Good morning, cold?" she asked, and he sighed as he looked at her.

"Yeah, I hate getting this thing," he replied, and Nina smiled as she patted him on the shoulder.

"Do you intend to baby him if things get worse, Nina?" Adora inquired.

"No, I\'ll just take care of him, after all, he\'s mine," she replied, her eyes glowing purple.

"That\'s a cute succubus for you," Kyllan said as Nina chuckled then sat down beside Yan.

"When are we supposed to arrive?" Zavis inquired as a member of the train crew entered and brought a trolley of food for them.

"Good morning, your highnesses, we will be there in half an hour," the guy said.

"Okay, thank you," Zavis replied before the staff, and they got up to eat breakfast because they were hungry.

"Adora, make sure you eat," Kyris said as he handed her a plate of food, which she looked at before taking it.

"Thank you," she replied, "but I was about to get up to take mine."

"Well, less work, eat," he said, and she sighed before beginning to eat her meal while Alix closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and saw two stars appear in his mind, shining brightly in the night sky, and he immediately opened his eyes.

\'What the hell was that?\' he wondered as he started eating his food, and Adora looked at the two stars that appeared on her wrist, then vanished, and she smiled slightly, while eating, Kyris\'s phone rang.

"Can you see who it is, Adora?" He asked because he was sitting right next to him and his hand was dirty from eating a sandwich.

"Sure," she said as she took his phone from his jacket\'s side pocket and saw it was his brother calling.

"Hello good sir, how may I help you today?" she asked and they looked at her smiling.

"Adora?" he inquired, and she smiled.

"Good morning," she said.

"Good morning, where is Kyris?" he asked.

"He is eating why?" she asked.

"I wanted to talk to him, but since you answered, it\'s fine," he said. "Where are you guys?" he asked.

"I see, so you called because you\'re worried, am I correct?" she inquired.

"Half," he replied, and she chuckled.

"There\'s no shame in showing how much you care," she said and he sighed.

"Stop tormenting me, woman; are you guys there yet?" he inquired.

"No, but we\'ll be there soon," she replied.

"Just checking in because you guys have trouble attachment on you, everywhere you go you all run into some sort of problem," he replied.

"Talking about trouble, one is in my way," she said then sipped her coffee.
