Rise of the Malactric Heir

After finishing her meal, the princess wiped her lips, drank her juice, then put on her mask and removed the barrier.

"I'm done, now who wants to see the beasts?" she asked, and Alix leapt to his feet.

"Your fox was injured when we got it, won't that cause you some trouble?" Alix questioned.

"Not really, I think I can handle it," she replied.

"Not very reassuring, but I'll handle mine no matter what," Alix smiled.

"Did something happen overnight that fueled you to this level?" she inquired.

"Let's just say I want things to change," he replied, and she gave him a sharp look.

"Don't change too much," she said as she walked away, and he raised his right brow then thy followed her.

"I'm going to form a barrier around us just in case they decide to go on a rampage, it'll keep them in, and the others will watch from outside until we can win their trust," Adora said as they walked to the valley beside the hill where they used to train.

"So basically, we'll be trapped with them," Alix explained, and Nina laughed.

"You can put it that way too," she replied.

"That's scary," Ayden said as they approached the valley, and Adora sighed, closing her eyes and breathing in the fresh air.

"A-" Sarah was about to call out the girl's name when Nina intervened.

"Not yet, let her relax a little, this is good for her, she seems a little off today," Nina said.

"Got it," Sarah replied as Adora enjoyed the air, but then remembered the dream, and her eyes widened and she punched the tree next to her, and they flinched.

"A- Adora," Nina called out and the girl looked at her.

"Sorry, let's get started," she said.

"Good morning, guys," Kyris said as he appeared in front of them, making them jump.

"You really need to stop appearing out of nowhere, you might get hurt one of these days," Alix said, and Kyris laughed.

"You're right, but it's become a habit; are you guys about to pet your beasts?" he inquired.

"Yes, we are," Alix said.

"Nice, I will stay and watch; I've heard they're strong, and it appears that someone wants the fox back," Kyris said.

"If he wants to die, let him come; I will kill him," Adora replied, looking sternly at Kyris.

"Who troubled her?" he questioned.

"I really don't know, she's usually the nicest person to even Alix, something must be bothering her, let's just not ask too many questions, she still wants to help Alix learn to control his beast, that's great," Nina said.

"You better keep an eye on her before she gets mad at the beasts," Kyris said as Adora formed a barrier around the open valley, keeping her and Alix in and the others out.

"Summon the wolf," she said, and Alix closed his eyes and called out to the wolf, who appeared before him growling as if he was looking for his next meal.

"That's one angry and massive wolf," Kyris observed as they sat beneath an apple tree.

"It sure is," Olivia said as she approached them, and they smiled and made room for her to sit as well.

"I will summon mine," Adora said as she closed her eyes and a shadow appeared before her, followed by the fox.

"That fox and wolf appear to be untamable," Olivia observed.

"No beasts could be seen that way before Adora, Alix doesn't see it that way, both of them believe that they can tame them, let's see what happens, Alix seemed fired up and Adora seemed well, I don't know what's going on with her today, but I fear for the fox and wolf if they give her a hard time," Kyris said as Olivia smiled.

"If she's angry, she will use that anger," Olivia replied as the wolf glared at Alix and was about to hit him with its tail, but Alix jumped up in the air, avoiding being hit by it.

"You are still as feisty as ever; I'll calm you down a little; may I hit it?" Alix asked, avoiding being hit by the wolf, and Adora looked at the wolf, knowing it wants to fight Alix.

"Go ahead, don't be too hard," she replied, and Alix smiled wickedly as he clenched his fists and punched the wolf, sending him across the valley causing everyone to gasp and Adora sighed.

"I said just a little, are you planning to kill him?" Adora inquired, and Alix smirked.

"That won't hurt him, look," he said, and the wolf stood up even more enraged.

"This is going to be harder than I thought," Adora said as the fox glared at her and Alix tried to figure out how to get the wolf to fall before him and accept him as his master.

"Do you want to fight as well?" Adora questioned as her hands and eyes glowed red, and the fox charged at her, but instead of fleeing, she stared the fox down.

"Know when you can't win a fight," Adora said, stepping around the fox with speed and the others stared at her.

"You're hurt, let me treat you," Adora said as the fox looked at her and its body began to glow white then both of the beasts roared in anger and frustration.

"Damn it," Alix said as his eyes turned black and the wolf was about to attack him, but Alix raised his right hand up and without touching him, a burst of energy came out of his hand, throwing the wolf away from him causing it to cough up blood.

"You have truly grown, you managed to attack something without actually touching it, nicely done," Adora said as the wolf stood up panting.

"Focus on that fox, it's clear it's getting angrier by the minute, damn this thing is strong," Alix said.

"I don't want to hurt you, but you sure are stubborn; I have no intention of wasting time either, time to put you down," Adora said as the fox opened its mouth, creating a ball of light, and Alix smirked, finally understanding that the wolf is one who uses darkness, and he planned on using it against the wolf.
