Rise of the Malactric Heir

"I can\'t believe they\'re so afraid of a little cold water, so weak," Nina teased, and they looked at each other before sighing.

"Would you like to get in the water, guys?" Kyris asked, and they exchanged glances.

"Sure, we are not weak," Kyllan responded as Adora placed her feet in the water and smiled at how cold it was before she and the others got in with the moonlight reflecting on them. Adora looked at Alix and he winked at her and she dove down into the water, and Nina smiled.

"She\'s cute, as well," Yan said as he hugged Nina from behind, and she smiled as she held onto his hand and felt how cold it was and looked at him.

"Yes, she is cute; you guys just don\'t get to see that side of her because of her life; where has she gone?" Nina inquired as she gazed at the water, and Yan noticed her rising from the water away from them and smiled before tapping Nina on the shoulder.

"What is it?" she asked and he pointed to Adora then the girl sighed.

"Good she\'s fine," Nina said as Adora looked up at the moon, which reflected in her eyes as she took a deep breath. When they noticed the water getting rougher, they looked at each other, and Adora smirked.

"Lily," Adora called out as she hovered above the water, and they all looked at her as something began to rise up from the water, and they all gasped as a huge mystic blue water dragon rose up from the water and Adora landed on her back, and the dragon roared, causing them to jump, and Alix looked at it as Adora placed her head against Lily\'s, then she looked at Alix as did the dragon, and Alix\'s brows furrowed.

\'This she-devil is up to something,\' he thought as Adora took a deep breath and dove down with the dragon underwater, rising up where Alix was, and Adora grabbed him as he sat on the back of the dragon while the others laughed.

"Guys, this is Lily, the water dragon I mentioned earlier," Adora said as Alix touched the dragon\'s head.

"She\'s enormous and nice," Alix said, and Lily bowed her head in thanks, and he smiled.

"How long has she been here?" Sarah asked as they all surrounded the dragon who loved the attention and they took turns in petting her.

"A few years, top is three, I think," Adora responded then the dragon rubbed its head against Alix and Adora looked at him and then sighed.

"Is she able to speak?" Alix inquired, and Adora gazed at the dragon.

"No, she can\'t speak, but you can figure out what\'s going on with her," Adora replied, and Alix looked the dragon in the eyes.

"Because of its gestures?" Alix asked, and Adora nodded.

"Well, this is a lovely dragon; I\'m still curious about the dragon from earlier; it was strange but strong," Alix said.

"You are correct, we will know soon enough," Kyris replied.

"Yeah, we\'ll know, if I can get my hands on that one, I hope their mission was successful," Adora said, and Alix smiled at her.

"You really like to worry, go dive, it\'ll take the stress away," Alix replied, and they laughed, before she sighed and looked at the dragon.

"Guys, I\'ve made up my mind, I\'m going after them, with every clue we have about their base, I\'m going to use it to track it down, I have nothing else to do, who wants to go back to the academy when it\'s open, you can go back, there is no problem with that, I can\'t sit back and let them do whatever they want," Adora said as they looked at her.

"Back to the academy huh?" Aerav asked as they exchanged glances, and Alix smirked, knowing that now that he was their leader and he was staying, they wouldn\'t go and they had all made up their minds from before.

"We\'re not leaving," Alix and the others said all at once, and Adora sighed.

"Are you sure?" she inquired.

"Of course they are, it was our choice and we made it, nothing can change that," Alix replied as Adora stared at his face, then she turned away from him and Nina stared at her.

"What\'s going on here? Something else is bothering her as well," Nina mumbled, and Yan turned to Adora, who got off the dragon and nearly fell but Alix grabbed her arm.

"Thank you," she said as he let go of her and his eyes narrowed.

"Is there anything else you\'d like to discuss?" Alix inquired.

"I\'d like to know the same thing," Nina said.

"No, I don\'t think so," she replied as the dragon\'s body began to glow bright blue. Alix then got off of her and she bowed her head to them before diving into the water and flinging back up, and they smiled.

"Seems like she learned those dolphin tricks," Alix said, and the dragon roared as they looked at it.

"Could be, she enjoys doing tricks and it benefits those around her..." Adora said, and Alix glanced at her before the dragon flapped its tail at them, creating a wave large enough to knock them over and they laughed as they bumped into each other then it swam away.

"Well, guys, it\'s getting late, we should get inside," Kyris said as they exited the water, but Adora noticed her top pacing onto her skin and sighed before fixing it and going into the mansion, where she went straight to her room and grabbed her clothes to go freshen up.

After a while, Adora finished taking her bath and she got dressed then sat down on her bed and began to blow dry her hair since she had just finished washing it, but while doing so, she sneezed then looked at herself in the mirror and sighed before smiling.

\'Wow, now this is just great, I can\'t believe this, I am the one who challenged them, and now this... How ironic,\' she thought as she ran her fingers through her long, silky hair.
