Rise of the Malactric Heir

"Can you go outside?" he asked as she stared at him.

"Are you serious? Can I ask why?" she asked.

"Hmm, I'm not obligated to respond to that; now proceed or don't you trust me?" He asked, leaning in close to her, and she scoffed, then floated through her window, and he took a deep breath before his body began levitating without glowing or any mark appearing, and he flew out the window, and she gasped when she saw him flying and chuckled.

"I'm not used to this, but I have a rough idea as to how to go about doing it," he said as he approached her and lifted her up in his arms, and she gripped him tightly.

"All I have to do is control how my body moves, right?" he asked.

"That's pretty much it, there is not much to flying other than proper balance, learned that from Jade," she responded as he flew higher, and she smiled as a cloud passed through both of them, and he smiled, then she looked at the moon, and both of their eyes glowed red, with the star marking appearing in them for a fraction of a second before disappearing.

"It's beautiful," she said, staring at it, and Alix glanced at her before returning his gaze to the moon.

"You are right, it is," he replied.

"I had no idea you could fly," she said.

"I just tested it, and it appears that I can, but I only timed twenty minutes so far; I will test it again tomorrow," he replied, and she sighed, feeling a bit relieved.

"It's good, you gained another ability because another gate opened; you must have gained another or so, but you won't know until you need them, that's how most abilities come forth," she said.

"You're probably right about that too, hold on tight, I'm still new to this," he replied, flying down, past the ship, and close to the open ocean, where she dipped her toe in the freezing cold water and chuckled.

"The only time I have been up in the sky like this in the open is with a dragon, this is nice," she said as a pod of dolphins passed by, playing tricks, and both of them smiled as they gazed at the creatures.

"Let's not get too far away from the ship," she said, and he flew back up to the ship, where he placed her to sit on top of it and he sat beside her.

"This was nice, flying can be quite relaxing, thank you very much Alix, I really appreciate it," she said and he looked at her as she gazed at the moon then he sighed.

"You don't have to thank me for that, it's a small thing that I knew I could do so I did it, but you're welcome, Adora," he replied as her hair fell in front of her face and her lips trembled before she took a deep breath and relaxed her body.

"I wish I could stay up here, it's calming," she mumbled, and he heard her before patting her on the shoulder and she looked at him.

"Alix, you are more of a straightforward person, you are kind yes, but you don't have the happiest smile, which I am still waiting to see, you are gentle when you need to be and quite stern, you have a lot more traits that most of us has already picked up on but I don't want to give a whole long list right now, tell me why are you being so nice to me tonight?" He gave her a sidelong glance as when she asked.

"Because you didn't look happy when you couldn't fly anymore, so after all you've done for all of us, it's not a big deal," he responded, and she smiled.

"To me, it is," she said.

"That's fine," he replied, and she chuckled before looking at Alix and resting her head against his shoulder.

'There she goes, doing whatever she wants again, but it's not bad,' Alix thought, looking at Adora then she peeked at him.

"Are you okay with me being this way?" she inquired.

"I can't complain," he replied, and she chuckled.

"Liar, you can complain, but you don't want to, you are difficult to read at times, well not for me," she said and he sighed.

"Well, you know a lot about me, so I'm not going to doubt you," he replied.

"That's good to hear from you, Alix," she said to which he scoffed.

"Adora, are you afraid of losing this fight?" he asked and her eyes trembled when he asked then she raised her head off of him and he looked at her as she exhaled deeply.

"I don't believe I am, Alix; I just don't want the people I care about to die," she responded.

"I think I knew you would say that," he said and she smiled.

"We can't always win or get what we want," they both said at the same time, smiling.

"We can't, but I hope you guys survive," she said.

"We will, and so will you," he replied and she glanced at him.

"If only I could say that, you have to survive no matter what," she said and he looked at her.

"Is it because of my past?" he wondered.

"Yeah, because of your past, something mind-boggling will happen to you soon enough Alix, I don't know when, but I assure you before then, I will give you all the information you need, everything I have hidden from you about yourself, I will tell you in front of the others, that way there won't be any secrets about that," she responded, and he sighed.

"Seems like a bigger and more serious issue than I thought," he said.

"Because it is, you will understand why certain things happened to you, and your dreams will make sense," she replied grabbing more of his attention, Alix knew that Adora won't just say things she doesn't mean and knew that whatever the issue may be, he has to win, hence he became more curious than before.
