Rise of the Malactric Heir

"It\'s fine, I know you have great control Adora, you have better balance than any of us here, despite having so much on your shoulders, there is no need to apologize, now tell me which I should work on more defense or offense?" he asked and she looked at him.

"I want you to work on defense more, you are more vulnerable to attacks when you are on offense, try to do both, you can all practice that together, you all lack that," she said and they smiled.

"I, too, am lacking in defense," she admitted.

"Do you lack that?" Kyllan inquired, and she smiled.

"I\'m not perfect, you know, even I can get my ass kicked," she replied, and they laughed.

"It doesn\'t matter what we lack as long as we fix them, right?" Alix inquired.

"That\'s right, now we\'ll all train on more of what we\'re lacking," Adora said, and they all smiled, pleased.

"You can all practice defense with Kyris, nothing more, I hope you guys remember what I said, one at a time," she smiled.

"That is one evil smile," Alix said, her brow twitching as she looked at him and then approached him.

"Since we\'re at it, let me inform you that tomorrow or the next day will be you, Alix, prepare yourself because I will give you hell," she said and he smirked.

"We\'ll see; also, how many different types of ability can a person use at once?" Alix inquired.

"Hmm, that depends on the person, whether he or she is capable of using the required amount of energy," Adora replied.

"She is correct, you will need a lot of energy, you will also need to be quite powerful, and it can sometimes even be dangerous to your body if you push yourself too much," Kyris said.

"I see, well thank you both for telling me, I have seen people use two or three at once so far, so I was just wondering if there was a limit," Alix responded.

"You are welcome; if you plan on using more than one at the same time, make sure you are strong enough and be cautious; these things are extremely dangerous, and people believe that becoming powerful is simple," Kyris said.

"I know it isn\'t, some just think that because we have power, we have a lot of things going our way," he replied, and Adora looked at them and smiled slightly.

"What are you doing, Adora?" Eliza inquired as Adora\'s body glowed green, closing her eyes and taking a deep breath.

"Just checking something," she responded when her hands turned red and her feet turned blue.

"Three kinds of magic," Alix said as Adora raised both of her hands and clasped them together.

"Are you testing your control over three different types at the same time?" Alix inquired.

"I am," she replied as green whips appeared beside her and red spikes appeared in the air behind her.

"I used to sense Vellon, but I can\'t anymore," she explained, and Kyris\'s eyes trembled as Adora returned to normal and smiled.

"Maybe it\'s because he is not anywhere near you," Kyris suggested and she shrugged.

"Perhaps that, or maybe someone severed the connection," she said to which Kyris sighed.

"That won\'t be good will it?" Zavis asked and Zack lowered his head as Adora approached him.

"Look at me," she said and he looked at her as the snake marking appeared in her eyes and the same mark appeared in his then on his body forming a tattoo.

"I call it a soul mark; no one can remove it except me; if he meets with you, I\'ll know, and it\'ll protect you if you can\'t protect yourself; are you okay with this?" Zack smirked as she asked.

"Of course, I\'m fine with it; he\'s stronger than most of us, isn\'t he?" Zack inquired.

"I\'m not sure about that, relax," she replied, and he smiled.

"All right, since you\'re saying it, I\'ll relax," he said as she patted his shoulder.

"Adora," Vince said as he approached her, and she looked at him.

"What\'s the matter Vince?" she asked.

"Father would like to see you if you are available," he replied.

"Vince, may I ask you a question?" she inquired.

"Certainly," he replied.

"Would you mind having a bodyguard?" she inquired.

"If that\'s what you think is best for me, I\'ll be fine with it," he said before hugging her and smiling.

"I will go meet with your father now," she said then he raised up.

"No more training other than defense," she said as she looked at the others and they smiled.

"Got it, don\'t worry, go on," Alix said as Adora walked back to the castle with Vince.

"I\'ll go watch TV, dad\'s in his office," he said.

"All right," she replied, and went down the main hall to the king\'s office.

"Your highness," she called out upon arriving at his office.

"Adora, come in," he said as she went into the office and smiled when she saw him standing in the balcony along with the view of the mountains he had.

"You asked to see me, is everything all right?" she inquired.

"Not quite," he replied.

"What\'s the matter?" she inquired.

"One of my men, they saw Vellon today in the city with a few others, you showed me Vellon\'s photo, I showed it to all of them and they are pretty sure they saw him," he responded and she gnashed her teeth.

"So they are here, that just gave me an answer too," she said.

"What answer?" he inquired.

"That my link to Vellon may be severed," she replied, and the king sighed.

"I wonder if they already know how to find the source," the king remarked, and Adora lowered her head.

"They might," she replied.

"I know, they don\'t care who they hurt; bringing an apocalypse will ruin everything, including the surface of this planet, damn it, they are crazy," the king explained and Adora clenched her fists knowing that they won\'t stop not matter what people say.
