Rise of the Malactric Heir

"I see, well, let me warn you ahead of time, you will be flying them to a nice place, but it will be dangerous because they are on a special mission, and the chances of you getting severely injured are high," the mage warned, and the young man smiled, understanding their concern.

"Your highness, sir," he said, "I served as a LARS agent for a while and as a pilot, I am twenty-three years old, but I don't care, as long as I get to fly, I understand it might be dangerous but I am still willing to go." Dorious sighed.

"Hearing it's a mission is a big reason why he'd want to help, so there you go, the ship will be ready for you guys tomorrow morning," Dorious replied, and Adora sighed.

"Don't worry Dorious, your son will be fine," she said and Dorious smiled.

"It's fine, your highness, let him do his duty, I heard the mission you guys are going on is one that could help the kingdom and save lives if it's successful, that's all he said he could tell me and I understand," he replied and Scott nodded before the mage shrugged and Adora scoffed.

"OK, Scott, can you be ready by 10 a.m. tomorrow?" she inquired.

"I will be here waiting for you guys, thank you for giving me this opportunity your highness," he responded.

"You're welcome, and I'll see you guys in the morning, bye,' she said.

"See you later," the mage said.

"Bye," they replied then they left, and Xemon looked at her.

"Magic came in handy in building that ship, it's the whole reason it has so many fancy things inside, that includes the room, rune magic came in handy too," he said and she nodded.

"Rune magic always, helps with things like that, my father likes things like that," she replied.

"You are right about that, he loves his family, you know that right?" he asked and she glanced at him.

"Yes, I do," she responded.

"Glad you do, Adora, he doesn't want you or any of the others to go on this mission, but he trusts you all and has a kingdom to protect," he said as she lowered her head when she saw the others in the next valley.

"I know, and these guys never give up," she replied, and he smiled.

"Let's go meet them; I'll give them some pointers if needed," he said and she scoffed as they approached the others.

"Guys," Xemon said and they looked at them.

"Is the ship behind that hill?" Kyris asked and Adora nodded.

"Then it is definitely big, are you two going to watch us train?" Alix inquired.

"This fella here says he'll give you guys pointers if you need them, yeah, we will, I still owe you guys," she replied.

"Don't worry, we can do that another time, there are bigger problems to deal with right now, we will practice as a team, Cameron, Zack, Eliza and Oliva will play the enemies, and Zavis will be on our team as well, Ifrit said he will watch along with Kyris," Alix said, and Adora smiled and sat down.

"All right, go ahead and start, I'd love to see how this ends," Adora replied, and Ifrit smirked as Kyris's eyes glowed blue and the area around Alix and the others became foggy.

"Isn't this preferable?" Kyris inquired.

"Yeah, let's see how good they are at defending each other when they can't even see properly, once they can do this, they have better chances of survival," his brother responded and Adora smiled.

"Well, let's get this started," Adora said as Cameron, Olivia, Zack, and Eliza began searching for Alix and the others.

"They're so close," Adora said quietly, and Xemon nodded.

Rather than wasting time looking for each other, Cameron and his practice team decided to stay in one spot and listen to their surroundings, as did Alix and his team.

'If they keep up this pace, it'll be difficult to find each other, let alone launch an attack,' Xemon thought as his eyes glowed red while looking at them, and Adora sighed.

'Even a drop of water can get them in trouble, this is a bit fun,' Adora taught as the wind blew hard and Cameron caught onto their scents.

"Over there," he said as Alix's eyes glowed as Cameron prepared to attack them, and the others moved back, and Alix moved quickly, kicking Cameron in the stomach due to the impact of the kick, he went tumbling and Adora smiled.

"Are you okay, Cameron?" Kyris asked as Cameron stood up, and smiled as Alix and the others rushed towards them, and Sarah spotted Eliza but before the girl could react after sensing Sarah, the girl placed her sword by Eliza's neck, surprising her, and Eliza smirked.

"You've improved," she said, and Sarah smiled.

"Thank you," Sarah said as Zack took a deep breath and saw Aerav, but before he could touch him, Aerav's feet began to glow orange and he flung around, preventing Zack from touching him because he would be burned, and Zack jumped back when everyone pulled back from each other and stuck together within the fog.

"They're doing well as a team, and they're doing well on their own," Xemon said.

"Yeah, I know, they can defend themselves and others fairly well," Adora responded.

"But in a real fight, it's a little different," Adora said, "though this is good, they've improved a lot."

"Listen up, did you guys have a place to practice in mind?" Xemon asked as the fog cleared, and everyone turned to him.

"We would have gone to the snow mountain, the one where Adora took us the last time, but, we didn't get a chance," Alix responded.

"I see, teleport us there, Kyris," Adora said as he smiled, then all of them stood behind him as his staff appeared in his hand and he gently tapped it on the ground as a blue formation formed under their feet and they all vanished in a flash of light and arrived at the snow mountains in less than a minute, trembling at how cold it was.
