Rise of the Malactric Heir

After Adora went to the kitchen, she took her food and sat down to eat it along with a cup of coffee.

While eating, Adora couldn\'t help but think back about the night her mother died.

\'I wonder if mom knows anything about why this is happening today, stupid me, she probably doesn\'t, and even if she does, she is dead, she is no longer here,\' Adora thought as she sipped her coffee.

When the girl finished eating, she went out to the front lawn of the castle, where she sat on the soft grass and began listening to music on her phone.

"Are you all right?" Kyris asked as he approached her, and she switched off the music and turned to face him.

"Yeah I am fine, why won\'t I be?" she asked then he sat beside her.

"You seem a little lost, out of this world, wondering what\'s going to happen?" he inquired.

"You can say that, a lot is going to happen and things aren\'t going our way, but you already know that, spend some time with your brother when we get back Kyris," she responded, and he sighed as they both lay back on the grass, gazing up at the sky.

"I will, I know why you\'re saying I should, so I will, we should all spend more time with the people we care about, I know you\'ll spend time with your father and possibly the queen as well, but do you have a special someone in your life yet?" he asked, and she gave him a sidelong glance.

"You know I don\'t," she replied.

"I guess you don\'t want to meet anyone soon, Alix is a good match for you," he said and she punched him on the arm and he chuckled.

"If not him, then team one\'s leader, he has taken quite an interest in you as well, though he is a big flirt, he is not serious, you know that, that\'s why you keep ignoring him, you can only ever like him as a friend, even he knows that but a fling won\'t be wrong, unless you want something more serious," he said as she sighed.

"I don\'t think that\'s the path I should be taking right now," she replied, "but I guess it would be nice to have a relationship like that, I won\'t want just a fling either." He patted her on the shoulder.

"I think I knew you\'d say that, at least about the fling part, I guess everything happens in its own time," he said, and she nodded.

"I believe they do as well; when are you going on a date with her?" She asked you out and you declined, I know you don\'t know what will happen, but she doesn\'t care, she is stubborn because she knows you feel the same way about her, that girl won\'t let this get in her way, I don\'t think you should keep her waiting, especially this time, Kyris," she replied and he sat up, then looked at her with a smile but it was clear as day that he was worried because his smile showed it and Adora sat up.

"You can be open with me Kyris, I never once stopped you from sharing your true feelings, I won\'t go about doing that to any of you, not now or ever, everyone is more than allowed to speak up, I don\'t like taking people freedom from them, you should know that," she said and he sighed.

"Believe me, I know you would never do such a thing; I\'ve been by your side for years, and you\'ve never done it," he replied, and she smiled.

"There\'s nothing wrong with letting loose a little, Kyris," she said.

"Yeah, I know, tell yourself that a little too Adora, I think you need it, but you won\'t listen to me right now, especially about this, will you?" he asked, and she gave him a sidelong glance.

"Uh... I would really like to listen to you, but I don\'t think I will or can right now, I have no intention of letting loose, not yet at least, there will probably be a time for that," she responded and he exhaled deeply.

"Good thing I understand why you won\'t," he said and she chuckled.

"I\'m glad you understand; I\'ll go relax my mind a little in the valley, the wind is a little colder there, it\'ll help," she replied as they both stood up.

"Your definition of a bit colder and mine are very different, that\'s not just a little colder, you know," he said and she grinned.

"You can join me if you want, after all, you want to be stronger than your brother," she replied, and he smiled, then she winked at him and left, and he sighed and went back into the castle.

"Where has Adora gone?" "She was just with you," Olivia said after Kyris sat down in the living room.

"She went to relax her body in the cold valley, I don\'t think it will be cold enough though," he replied and Olivia chuckled.

"Should she be doing that?" Sarah asked.

"Adora\'s body works on a whole different level, I\'m pretty sure even my brother won\'t know how to respond," Kyris responded, and they laughed.

"Sarah, you can join her, you did say you wanted to train more, maybe this will help, it will be harder for you in the cold but to be honest, I don\'t think this amount of cold will cut it," Alix said, and Sarah immediately got up from her seat.

"You\'re probably right, this can help with endurance as well," Sarah replied, and Alix nodded.

"I think we can all join her, it\'ll just be cold meditating," Ayden said, and Kyris chuckled.

\'You got yourself a rough set here Adora, I\'m sure it would be better if it was snowing, it\'s not as cold as the snowy mountains, that place would be perfect for them, for endurance training and others too but they will have to be careful,\' Kyris thought.
