Rise of the Malactric Heir

After hearing what Vellon said, a few of them were startled for now they knew that the last heir of the Malactrics could be alive, Adora looked at Alix and gnashed her teeth as Vellon glanced at her.

She knew that Alix was getting stronger and might have been strong enough to face the leader of the enemies, but despite that, she was worried about what the outcome would be.

"Adora..." Vellon mumbled and she sighed, then looked at him and a smile appeared on his face before he raised his hand and patted her on the shoulder.

"You guys will figure it out, he knows you are all close to finding out the full truth, meaning he might actually show himself very soon for the real threat are you guys," he said and Alix looked at him when he sensed more changes happening within his body and Adora looked at him.

"Vellon, who does he suspect to be the heir?" she asked, he pulled her closer and whispered something into her ear and she scoffed.

"So the final game is on, huh?" she asked as he moved away from her.

"Yes, the endgame is about to begin, the truth is about to be out and he will come to you guys, no one has ever given him such a hard time before, I know that because I was on his side," he responded and Adora patted him on the head.

"Don't be so hard on yourself man, you couldn't even remember those close to you, but how did he get to you? Did you really try to attack her father that day?" Alix asked and Vellon looked at him before lowering his head.

"He showed up in Adora's room when she was not around, I saw him, and the first thing I tried to do was kill him, but then he pointed to Adora who was training on the front lawn, he made me stop in my tracks when he said that he will kill her, he said that he was the cause of her mother's death, her mother was weak and so is she," he responded and Alix chuckled.

"Tell me, does he regret saying that now?" Alix asked with a stern look in his eyes and Vellon smiled.

"Yeah, he does regret not killing her, he was there for the scrolls and everything there was on the crystals as well as the Malactrics that her kingdom had, he took all of those researches which were kept in a box for years, no one had access to them except her father's father, he was the one who was obsessed with power after all," he responded and Adora looked at him while clenching her fists.

"I see and that's how he got to brainwash you, it was that day, he used Adora as leverage, got you to steal what he wanted and couldn't, do on his own, then you started following his orders, he blocked Adora and those you knew from your memories, making you believe that he is your master, you even attacked the knights after which you were called a traitor, does that about sums it up?" Alix asked and Adora looked at him.

Vellon laughed before sighing and looking at Alix who smiled at him.

"Yes, that about sums it up, he is strong and I was nowhere near strong enough to go up against him, not even today, even though he helped me master my abilities, only to use them for his own purposes," he responded and Adora sighed.

"I am sorry, Vellon," she said.

"Adora, you don't have to apologize, you were never weak, not even today, you aren't, after what I did that day, it made you trust others less as well, I am sorry," he replied and she smiled.

"You don't have to apologize, it's okay," she said as they all stood up, including him since Kyris had healed some of his wounds.

Vellon grabbed onto Adora's arm when he remembered something else and she looked at him as well as his eyes, which shook and her eyes narrowed after seeing that.

"There is one more thing, Adora, you guys have to tread carefully, he is not that different and he is strongly connected to the darkness and there is one ability that he has..." he said when something slashed him across his back and he coughed up blood and was about to fall but Alix grabbed onto him and Adora looked at him as guys in hood surrounded them.

"Adora, you guys should go, you already know the ones that are going to be targeted, by now on must have fallen," Vellon said and Adora's eyes widened.

"He is starting, you guys need to find the last piece of this," He mumbled and Kyris healed his wound as Adora looked at the number of minions for the leader of the enemies that were there.

"Go back to the castle, you guys should not be here," Alix said and the king looked at him before pulling his sword as did his sons.

"Adora, you guys really need to go," Vellon said as his eyes began glowing orange and a guy in white and black striped cloak stepped forward among them.

"I will kill you before you go any further, traitor," the guy said with a sharp tone, Adora glanced at him and Vellon chuckled as a smirk appeared on his face.

"Now this is interesting, the dog is here and barking for his master, you know you could have never defeated me before what makes you think you can do so now, huh?" Vellon asked and the guy chuckled as the others behind him formed a circle around Alix and the others.

"You want to shut me up, that's not going to happen, not after everything that's happened," Vellon said.

'Don't forget, Adora trashed you not so long ago, right now, you are weak!" the guy shouted as he disappeared and reappeared beside Vellon.

Vellon's eyes widened as he turned around but was too slow in moving, the guy was about to strike when Alix appeared before Vellon, and his and the guy's sword clashed.

"You are not getting what you want," Alix said the guy looked at him and a smirk appeared on Alix's face.
