Rise of the Malactric Heir

A while after Adora finished freshening up, she got dressed and went down to the living room and it was already night.

"Your highness, everyone is in the dining hall," a maid said and she smiled.

"Thank you," she replied, then left, heading to the living room, when her head and eyes began to ache, and she clutched her head as she began to see double.

\'What the hell happened? \'What exactly is going on here?\' Adora inquired as she held on to the wall, then took a deep breath and her eyes began to glow purple, then she dashed to the kitchen and washed her face before drinking a cold glass of orange juice, and after a short while she returned to normal and went to the dining hall.

"Guys," she said as she sat down beside Xemon who looked at her eyes.

"Hey," he said, and she gave him a sidelong glance.

"Hello," she replied, and he sighed.

"What\'s going on with your eyes?" he asked and she lowered her head then shrugged.

"You really don\'t know?" he asked and she looked at him.

"No, I don\'t," she responded before taking her food and starting to eat.

"Xemon, when you are finished eating if you have nothing else to do, can you take a look at something for me?" Kyris asked and his brother looked at him and he sighed.

"Fine, I had to go somewhere, but I will deal with that later," he responded and Kyris smiled.

"Thank you so much, bro," Kyris said.

"Sheesh, don\'t thank me yet; let me first see if I can help you," he replied, and Kyris chuckled.

"You must have an idea about it so, we will see," Kyris said then Xemon looked at Adora as she ate as well as her father.

"Adora, are you guys going to be okay? Do you guys need more help?" the king asked and she smiled.

"No, if anything the other teams will be of use, don\'t worry too much, focus on what you must do if we lose, father," she responded and he sighed then she poured herself a glass of juice and drank it.

When they finished eating, Kyris tapped Alix on the shoulder and he looked at him.

"Come on," Kyris said, and he followed Kyris and Adora to Xemon\'s office, which was not far from the king\'s, and they entered only to see at how beautiful it was inside, as if the galaxy itself was contained within the office.

"I like how you get to look at the stars," Alix said, as Xemon smiled.

"Yeah, it\'s peaceful to look at, but for most people, take a seat," he replied, locking the door and looking at Adora before sitting.

"Now, what\'s this all about?" he inquired.

"Can\'t you tell?" Kyris asked and Xemon sighed.

"Explain," Xemon responded.

"It\'s her eyes; there could be something wrong with them; after the crystal showed them its image and they saw someone who was able them from seeing further, her eyes began to bleed," Kyris explained.

"They?" Xemon inquired.

Kyris replied, "Her and Alix, his eyes didn\'t bleed."

"May I examine your eyes, Alix?" Xemon asked, and Adora looked at him.

"Don\'t look any more than you have to, Xemon," Adora said, and he smiled at her.

"Don\'t worry, I won\'t," he replied as his eyes began to glow green and he sighed as he looked into Alix\'s eyes.

"His eyes are normal so far," Xemon said as he approached her, and she looked into his eyes, and he noticed the color within her eyes was dim and not the same.

"That might have been the force used to cut you guys off, it\'s nothing bad, you\'ll be fine, your eyes were a little hurt, that\'s all, give it a day or two and it\'ll be normal again," Xemon said, and they sighed in relief.

"Well, I\'m glad they\'re fine, they had me a little worried, it\'s getting late, I\'m going to relax a bit, thank you again, Xemon," Kyris said as they stood up, and Alix and Adora thanked him before he and Kyris left.

He looked at Adora as she was about to leave the office and sighed.

"Hey, stay a few minutes, let\'s talk, close the door," he said, and she looked at him before closing the door and sitting back down.

"What\'s the matter?" she asked.

"I know you have many secrets but I want to tell you that your eyes might be evolving," he responded and she glanced at him and then sighed.

"That\'s not a bad thing, is it?" she asked.

"Not necessarily, but you need to be a little more cautious and not so carefree because even I don\'t know what it may evolve into, this is all I can do," he responded, and she smiled.

"Then it\'s more than enough, don\'t worry, I will be careful and handle this myself," she said and he sighed then smiled at her.

"All right, if you say so, but you better heed my warning," he replied and she chuckled.

"I will listen to you; there are a lot of things I have to deal with right now; my eyes are the least of my problems," she said to which he sighed.

"Yeah, I know that," he replied, "but you can always count on the others to help you, including me, especially Alix, Adora, whatever he is, I think the enemy might be more connected to him, I have noticed his changes," she scoffed.

"He is something special, one that I believe has the potential to change our faith," she said and he smirked.

"I have to tell you that, I\'m looking forward to that day, I want to see how far he can go as well, I want to see why you believe in him so much, much more than you do in other people, good night, princess," he replied, and she chuckled before leaving his office.

Adora went to her room, took another bath before changing into her nightgown, laid back on her bed, and took a deep breath before her eyes and body began to glow red and she began to hear her mother\'s voice.
