Rise of the Malactric Heir



Adora lowered her head and Dral glanced at her then Alix looked at him and Dral exhaled deeply, he didn't want to burden any of them, but knew that there was no choice since their futures were at stake as well.

Alix exhaled deeply, wondering why he was feeling the way he was at the moment and he glanced at Adora then returned his attention to Dral "Continue," Alix said and Dral nodded.

"After seeing the look on his face, I wanted to know what shook him and I was going to check and the king gritted his teeth and the energy surrounding him became violent, more than I have ever seen before."

"I was going to help but all he said to me was to find them, he shouted at me for the very first time and I had no choice but to obey his command and I left to look for his child and wife to make sure they were okay, with every intention of going back for him, but some of them came after me, I had to fight my way through and I felt the surge of the king's energy from a distance," he said.

"While I was fighting, the woman who was knocked out, she got back up and the first thing she did, was follow the queen's trail, I was desperate to get to them and get back to the king, when the king began fighting the leader, I felt shivers up my spine, their fight made parts of this land trembled."

"Seeing the reflection of their attacks in the air made me hurry even more than before when the woman got to the queen, she was shocked to see the queen surrounded by many strong warriors, she pulled her sword and when the queen saw her, she smiled at her and the woman left staring at her."

"If my husband survives, tell him that I am sorry and I love him, always will, even if he dies, but my child, protect him, let him have a good life, tell him how we were and how much we loved him if we don't survive this, make him know who he is and where he comes from, thank you, my dear friend."

"Who said that?" Alix asked and Dral smiled at him.

"The queen said that to her friend before dashing into the cave and the men followed her in and the woman was going to follow her but she threw the baby so fast that none of them saw and the woman caught him and the last thing she saw, was a smile on the queen's face."

"The queen collapsed the cave entrance with her magic and when I arrived there I saw the baby and the woman and there was one man that was left behind and was going to attack her from behind but I made sure my sword pierced his heart, killing him."

"I looked at her and the child and suddenly energy started emitting from the cave and it burst open, in a light of explosion and we were sent flying across the ground but she wrapped the baby in her cloak, protecting him."

"When we got up, I noticed we were near where the king was and the cave was gone and there was a crater in the ground, the woman got back up with the child in her arms and her eyes, trembling, the queen sacrificed herself to save her child that night and the king felt it in his heart, he could usually sense her but when he couldn't, he knew," he said.

Alix lowered his head and his heart beating began increasing. Adora exhaled deeply as the tree began giving off slightly more energy and Dral glanced at it then at Alix before letting out a sigh.

"I felt the energy around us getting stronger after that and when I looked, I saw a gentle smile on the king's face and he mumbled something to me, he knew we were there and so was his child, which made him feel a bit of relief, I was going to help him but..." he said in a low and soft tone.

"But?" Alix asked.

"When his powers collided with the leaders, it formed a large ball of energy around them and exploded in a beam of purple light, which seemed as though it touched the sky, it was going to send us to our doom as well, but I held us back behind one of the magical trees,"

"I used my abilities to protect her and the child, parts of the tree started to uproot at the time, but I braced against it while holding onto her, the energy that was set off, damaged most of the city, creating a large crater in the middle."

"When everything died down, I opened my eyes and when I turned around, I saw the destruction, the leader of the enemy was hurt as well but gone and the king, he was laying on the floor, partially covered in blood..." he said before gnashing his teeth.

"I made sure none of the enemies were around and then we went to the king and when he saw us, he smiled and spoke just a little," he added.

"What did he say?" Yaron asked.

"He was badly injured, he talked about fearing our powers, now he knows why some Malactrics were feared, maybe I could have killed him if I hadn't fought so much before, be careful... He is alive, protect my child, let him know, we fought, he is the last Malactric, also, make sure they meet, him and her, also, the leader of them, he is strong and was someone close... goodbye..."

"That's what he said to me, before taking his last breath, he didn't get to tell me exactly who it was but at least he made sure I know that it was someone who was close to us who did that, he caused the destruction of this place..." he said and Alix clenched his fist and his eyes began shimmering.

"Is there more?" Alix asked and Dral glanced at him and his eyes trembled when he saw the look in Alix's eyes then he nodded.

"Finish it," he said and Dral swallowed and Adora glanced at Alix as he waited patiently to hear the rest of it.
