Rise of the Malactric Heir

After finishing their breakfast, everyone went up to the upper deck to wait for their arrival at their destination, which was going to take a while, but they had plenty of time to kill with lots of things to talk about.

"Adora, I did some testing and I got up to thirty minutes, but I fell, but I will keep trying," Alix said as he approached her, and she smiled, understanding what he was talking about.

"That's good, even if that's your time limit, it's enough to do a lot of things," she replied with a smile, and he sighed before looking out at the passing clouds and birds.

"Well, it appears that we are getting closer to the crystal; will you be able to destroy it?" Alix inquired, her gaze fixed on him.

"I'm not sure," she replied, and he looked at her.

"What makes you say that?" he asked.

"It will all depend on our situation and energy," she replied, "but you will be there as well."

"You can count on me," he said as she patted him on the shoulder.

"That's good to know; we need to be there for each other in this because we don't know what will happen," she replied, turning to look at the others.

"Guys, listen up," Adora said and they all turned to face her and Alix.

"What is it, Adora?" Kyris asked.

"Would you rather book a hotel? ent a penthouse or stick to the ship?" Adora inquired.

"I think we should get the penthouse, one that's big enough for all of us and two of us can stay in the same room, it's not a big deal; I don't think we should separate," Kyris responded.

"I can stay on the ship and not get in the way if you want," Scott said, and they looked at him and she smiled nervously.

"It's best to stay clear of the ship, we are leaving no one behind, that includes you, so you are coming with us, I think the penthouse is the best option too, no one will know the ship is here so that's better, we don't want the enemy knowing about it," Alix replied and they agreed to all of their points.

"Alright, then penthouse it is; we will get one once we arrive; the kingdom is rich as well and it is modern, so that won't be a problem," Adora said, and they smiled before she stretched off.

They finally arrived at their destination after more than two hours.

"Guys, we are here," Scott said and they all looked down at the kingdom from the ship which was covered by the clouds and they smiled.

"The land is beautiful," Misran said, and they nodded as Scott began to lower the ship in the northern half of the kingdom, where there were only trees and a path through the forest leading straight to the city.

"Scott, how long did it take you to realize this is the ideal landing spot?" Kyllan inquired.

"A while, I had to check the latest image of the kingdom online, and I happened to get it by chance, so I figured this would be the best hideaway," he responded, and Kyllan smiled.

"Well, you are correct about it being a perfect hideaway," Zack said as the ship began to submerge into the water, and their eyes widened as a group of fish passed by, causing them to smile, and Zavis exhaled deeply, staring at the blue water filled with various types of creatures.

"The sea is always lovely," Aerav said.

"That is true, no matter what," Ayden replied, and Sarah patted him on the shoulder as a barrier formed around the ship, causing the water around them to push away from the ship, but the top remained covered and no one saw anything even remotely resembling a ship there.

"There we are, are you guys ready to go? You have a path to the city, you can rent cars, and we can find a hotel," Scott said before they grabbed their bags, he collected a fancy device that used a hologram and placed it in his pocket after which the ship doors opened and they walked out, going up where the water opened up a little and they came up on land before the water closed back up and they sighed, looking at the water and seeing nothing.

"That went better than expected," Yan said, and they laughed.

"Should we leave now?" Nina inquired, and Eliza nodded.

"All right, let's go," Adora replied as they followed the path through the forest.

While walking, Adora noticed Alix was on his phone and she tapped him on the shoulder, due to which he glanced at her.

"What is it?" he asked.

"What are you up to?" "Your eyes are like glue to the phone, you better watch where you are going, you might get hurt," she responded, and he smiled.

"I'm looking for the best hotel with enough room in a penthouse for us, it might not have room for all of us but we can share, is that good?" he inquired, to which she scoffed.

"You know it is, stop hurting my head," she replied and he smirked.

"Guys, I found one," Alix said, and they came to a halt, looking at him.

"Really?" Kyris asked.

"Yeah, the rating is good, I've seen a few images of it, it's located in the center of the city near the cascro mall, which appears to be the largest mall in this kingdom, and you'll be surprised at the tourism as well, this place is huge and I don't think I would want to stay here too long, I see there a re a lot of ancient stuff here as well," he responded, and they smiled.

"Well, Alix, it's a good thing you did the research because we would have spent all day looking and still wouldn't have found a good one for us to stay in," Yan joked and they laughed and then continued walking.

They were surprised to see a swarm of fancy cars rush by them as they exited the forest, and the city was quite crowded.
