Rise of the Malactric Heir

Adora and Ifrit went to the deck of the ship where no one else was and she opened up the glasses which formed a door and they went outside.

She sniffed in the cool and fresh air, allowing herself to feel a bit relieved and Ifrit smiled at her.

"What did you want to talk about Ifrit?" she asked.

"Are you sure you want to bring the past back to life? I know how much it is connected to you, to Alix, I don't know how much, but the past is too dark and will only bring hurt and more darkness, are you sure you want to go down that path? Dig it up?" he asked and she sighed before looking at him.

"If I kill all of them that comes within my sight and fight against me? Would you mind or regret having me with you guys? I need to know because I really hate them..." he said before gritting his teeth and she smiled.

"This isn't only about me, you are connected to it as well, you want your revenge as well, Ifrit, bring the truth forward is the best thing to do no matter what monster it rises and how much hatred might be born from it, the past cannot remain where it is, especially when it's the very foundation of some of our lives I won't ever regret having you around, kill those who wrong you, they had a choice, also, without the truth we won't reach the end, we won't..." she responded as she lowered her head.

Ifrit glanced at Adora and sighed, he knew she was right, but he also knew that the past could change what they stand for in their lives, he didn't want anyone to suffer from it.

"We won't be able to move forward in many more ways than just one, right?" he asked and she looked at him and then smiled.

"Yeah, that's right, Ifrit, you are like the brother I never had, Vellon was a really good friend in the years he was in my life, no one who lost their life can die in vein, we have to end all of this," she responded and he nodded then placed his hand on her shoulder.

Ifrit closed his eyes, remembering her mother's death and the hell he went through in his life, all of the death's he had seen, Adora looked at him, then patted him on his shoulder and he hugged her tightly.

Adora's eyes widened and she smiled as Alix came up to the deck, when he saw them, he smiled but decided not to disturb them.

"Ifrit, as long as we are all together, we are stronger, I promise, your lives will be fixed, let's go back down?" she asked.

"Let me ask you one more thing," he said before rising off of her and she looked at him.

"How far do you plan on going? What does he want with you now?" he asked and she shrugged.

"I am not one hundred percent sure about either of those questions, we will be certain soon enough, come on, let's get Vellon's funeral done, and then we can start with a few more other things, I want something to eat as well," she responded and he nodded then she turned around and saw Alix waiting inside and she smiled at him.

"Hey," she said as they approached him.

"Hey, come on, let's get to breakfast, we have other things to do as well," he replied and she hooked her arm around his, he scoffed as Ifrit smiled and they returned to the dining room.

After returning to the others, they sat down and took their breakfast, and began eating since they were hungry.

Alix glanced at Adora and noticed that the presence around her had begun chancing as was his own, but he couldn't get why or if it was just him feeling that way.

"Alix, are you going to keep your promise today?" she asked and he smiled at her.

"Yeah, today might be our last day to have such fun, who knows, so I will make sure you have fun," he responded with a grin and her eyes shimmered as she stared at him and Ifrit and the others exchanged glances while smiling at how cute they looked.

"They are so cute...." Serina mumbled and Kyris chuckled as Kyllan sighed before bracing back on the couch.

"You are staring, want something from me?" Alix asked with a smirk on his face and Adora's cheeks flushed as she turned away from him and continued eating due to which he laughed as did the others.

'She is getting cuter, I guess that's because she is loosening up now,' Alix thought as he ate his food.

"Alix, can I ask you a question?" Ayden asked and he glanced at him.

"Sure, what's up?" he asked.

"What are you going to do? Do you want to kill them as well? I am asking because there are times in which we can't even tell from your expressions what you are thinking," Ayden said and Alix smiled before sighing.

"You can say I feel this is all a bit more personal to me, I want to kill all of them if I am being honest, I don't care about them, I think they deserve to suffer for their actions, you guys wanted to kill them so many times, I saw it in your eyes and that cannot be denied," he responded and Adora's eyes narrowed as she looked at Alix.

After hearing his answer, Adora felt as though Alix knew something and she was curious, but at the same time, she felt as though she shouldn't even ask due to the secrets she had been keeping from them.

"You are right, we wanted that as well, we don't know to what extent we are willing to go, but we are willing to fight to protect those that we care about, no matter what the cost, am I right about that guys?" Ayden asked.

"Yeah!" They responded and Alix smiled as they finished eating their meal.

A little while after, while they were talking about a few things, suddenly the ship began slowing down.

Scott rushed to the living room and they looked at him, then he exhaled deeply before looking at Adora who stood up.

"I am landing in the water, that's why the ship is slowing down so much, we are about half an hour away from the city, are you guys ready to perform the final rites for Vellon?" he asked and they nodded then he smiled and the ship came to a halt.
