Rise of the Malactric Heir

Later that day, after Alix and Adora left to go into the city, they spent part of the day together while the other half, practicing with each other and with Dral as their opponent, while Sally provided food for them. 

Dral shared more of the information he had concerning the enemies, from the past with them as they trained in the valley beside the castle, which was the most convenient place for them at the time, since it was an open area. 

Night was nearing and they were still at the valley when Xemon approached them as they were sitting under the apple tree, talking and enjoying the fresh air. 

When Dral saw Xemon, he sighed then stood up as the young man went to them and Alix as well as Adora glanced at him. 

"Hey, the others told me you guys were here, they said you were training, but it is sort of their day off so," he said and Alix scoffed. 

"Some of them are just being lazy, so what brings you here? We were just about to leave," Alix said as he and Adora got up then Xemon exhaled deeply and Alix's eyes narrowed as he looked at him. 

"What's the matter?" Alix asked and Adora's brows furrowed as Dral looked on at them. 

"Xemon, did something happen?" she asked. 

"If it's bothering you that much, you might as well tell them about it man, we are all in a pinch at this time around, aren't we?" Aragi asked as he approached them and Alix glanced at him. 

"Hey, start talking," Adora said and both Xemon as well as Aragi turned to look at Dral, wondering who he was. 

"Uh... He is fine, you can go ahead and talk about what you want to," Alix said and Xemon nodded.

"All right, fine, I have been looking into more of the details with the things that have been happening lately, guys, they are always ahead of us, aren't they? No matter what we do, they have something else to use to hit it away, we haven't even touched them," Xemon replied and Alix sighed as did Dral. 

"All we have been doing is getting in their way and now we are starting to catch up with them, though you are right," Alix said and Aragi nodded as Adora looked at them. 

"Yeah, now we have gained a good amount of progress, ever since you guys left on your mission and even found things we never thought we would, it's all because of you guys, we here have hardly been any help. now from what I can tell, due to how fast and so they do things, they must have a base near our nation as well, not within  but the things in the sky that was found...." Xemon replied. 

"They are remains from the previous portal aren't they?" Alix asked and Aragi glanced at him as did Xemon, who exhaled deeply before looking up at the sky and Adora scoffed. 

"Yeah, they were used as teleportation points, they have a high-ranking teleporter with them, one that can carry a large amount, I am not sure we have one like that, they destroyed the doors they created, I will be doing a test with Kyris concerning this tomorrow morning, to see if there are any links and to see if there are any more, they all gave off the same energy," he said. 

"So, I take it all of this has you feeling more uneasy like the others right?" Alix asked. 

"Of course, it is, things are different and now for some reason, I can feel it all moving a lot faster than it did before, it's starting to feel like the end of all this is coming soon," Xemon responded.

"Well, truly it does feel like that, well there is nothing more that we can do other than fight back and do things to ensure our win," Alix said and at the same time. 

Adora glanced at him then lowered her gaze as a few thoughts ran through her mind and Aragi looked at her and when he saw the way she looked, his eyes narrowed then Dral glanced at her. 

"You okay, princess?" Dral asked and she flinched then looked at him. 

"Yeah, I am fine, just... Well, it doesn't matter, shall we just continue this tomorrow during the meeting, and discuss it with the others as well?" Adora asked. 

"Yeah, the test has to be conducted as well, if I can..." Xemon responded. 

"Maybe this can go to our advantage as well, let's see how it goes, get back to us immediately after you conduct the test," Alix said and Xemon smiled as he looked at them. 

"Yeah, I will get back to you guys first," he replied. 

"Good, we will all figure out this soon but before that let's see how the meeting with the leaders go tomorrow, that is important as well, even the public caught onto the fact that something must be happening, there is a lot that will be needed to done, as soon as possible," Alix said as Xemon looked at him. 

Adora noticed that Xemon was looking at Alix in a rather different and slightly surprising way and a smile appeared on her face as she looked on and Aragi glanced at him as well. 

'Is it just me or does this guy seem to be a bit more experienced? A slight bit different,' Aragi thought as he shifted his attention to Adora, who was currently lost in her own thoughts. 

"Well, it is getting pretty late now, we should all head home then we will meet here tomorrow morning, right?" Xemon asked. 

"Sounds good enough to me, we will all meet at the castle tomorrow morning, let's see what will happen then," Alix responded and Xemon exhaled deeply just imagining what may come to be. 

'Well, good night guys," Aragi said. 

"Good night," the others replied then Aragi left along with Xemon.

"I will see you kids tomorrow," Dral said and Alix nodded then Dral left and Alix turned to Adora. 

"Good night," Adora said as she and Alix kissed then he smiled at her. 

"Good night, Adora, I will see you in the morning," he replied and she smiled at him then he left and Adora lowered her gaze a little before sighing and leaving as well, calling it a night, just like all the others.
