Rise of the Malactric Heir

"Are you sure that\'s what you found Alix and not something else?" the king asked and Alox glanced at Adora then showed her to tell her father and she sighed.

"Father," she said and he raised up his head, then looked at her and she smiled a little.

"What he is saying is the truth, I can tell you that because we were all there, we saw everything with our own eyes, a lot has changed there though," she said and the king\'s eyes shimmered a bit and she got up then approached him and he looked at her.

"You have to push forward, whatever happened, there was nothing that you could have done to help them, nothing would have changed what happened back then, father, it\'s just like Alix said, there is no need for you to really guilty over something that no one had any control of," she said and he left staring at her.

"No one other than him had control over it, she is right," Alix added and the king glanced at the two of them then he scoffed and a slightly gentle smile, appeared on his face.

"Yeah, I know, there is nothing that could have been done, both of you are absolutely right, I will try my best from now on," the king said and everyone smiled at him, since they were very pleased with hearing that and Adora glanced back at Alix and he smiled at a little at her and she scoffed.

Adora went to sit back down and the king exhaled deeply as he looked up at the ceiling, thinking about how beautiful the Malactric\'s home were and he sighed.

"So you guys were able to find the place that literally disappeared all those years ago, after all that hunting?" he asked as the queen looked at them and they all nodded at the same time, with smiles on their faces.

"I see, things really have changed, I am pleased to hear that the land is still standing, that place was very beautiful, it was filled with many wonders back then," he said and Alix sighed as he looked at the king.

"I am sure it was but, almost the entire main city was destroyed, it\'s now an old ruin and they remade the city in another part of the land," Alix replied and the king\'s eyes widened as he stared at him.

"What? Is that true?" the king and queen asked at the same time and Adora lowered her head a little and Alix nodded, with his head slightly down and the king gritted his teeth.

He punched the wall beside him so hard, that it cracjed parts of it and everyone in the room looked at him, some of them were completely startled at what he did and the king exhaled deeply.

"So, what you are saying is that, the place that I once knew, is no longer there? It\'s all been destroyed?" the king asked and the queen placed her hand on his shoulder and he glanced at her.

"I am sorry, but it is, it has been destroyed, your highness," Alix responded and he scoffed.

"I should have expected that, especially with how it all began back then, they destroyed everything in their way," the king said as he thought of Alix\'s mother and father and Alix glanced at him.

"I even lost the people I considered a family, I am still wondering what more it is that we don\'t know, one thing is for sure, it was one of their own that betrayed them and now he is the one that we are facing, the leader," the king added.

"You are right about that, it was indeed someone that was among them that betrayed them, he is now the leader of the ones that we are currently facing, but I think after that night, because he was gravely injured by the king, he took time to rebuild himself," Alix said.

"Which is why he only showed back up, in full a few years ago, who is it exactly?" the king asked with a smirk on his face as he clenched his fists as a piercing look appeared in his eyes.

"Your Highness, we have to prepare for what\'s to come, this time, it\'s closer than ever and everything is at risk, if we stand against him and refuse to budge he will flatten all of us without a care, we have to fight back and give it our best shot, if we don\'t, we won\'t know if we have a chance at winning this and getting rid of him or not," Alix responded.

From the way Alix spoke, he grabbed a little more of the king\'s attention and he looked at Alix and his eyes narrowed then he scoffed.

"Well, you almost sounded like a leader there, Alix, I like that kind of tone, it\'s proven how much you guys have grown, you are not the kids that I met back then anymore, are you?" the king asked as they exchanged glances and Adora smiled a little then nodded and the king smiled at them.

"Nope, we are not, a lot has changed since then and we have seen a lot as well, there is only one thing that most of us want right now..." Alix responded with a piercing look in his eyes and Adora glanced at him then the king\'s eyes narrowed.

"Nice, I like that look in your eyes, well you should know by now, we are already preparing, if he is coming here, we will be able to find out his truth, one way or the other and we are not planning on yielding, just in case, more preparations will start tomorrow," the king said and Alix smiled a bit.

"We are going to help as well, there are more things that we have to tell you but will leave it there for now, you already know most of it, Alix said and the king nodded.

"I will wait for the rest, I am pleased with this for now, are you kids going to settle in for the meantime?" he asked as they stood up and they nodded.

"All right, I will see you kids later, get some rest and we will talk more, be careful," the king said, they smiled at him then all of them left the living room.

"Guys, welcome home," the king said and they thanked him then left the castle together.
