Rise of the Malactric Heir



Alix left staring at the person since he had seen him many times before and the others exchanged glances as Yaron's eyes trembled and he approached Adora and the man.

"Dral," Yaron said and Dral smiled at them.

"I am home like I promise, Adora," Dral replied and she gritted his teeth.

"You are injured, be quiet, you can talk later, you need to be fixed," she said and he smiled at her.

"Relax a little, I made it all the way here, I will be fine," he replied and her eyes began glowing bright blue as she turned around to look at Kyris and he flinched at the way she looked at him.

"Heal him," she said and he nodded, then he and Yaron helped Dral up and braced him against a wall then Kyris crouched down.

"This will take a bit of time, Adora, he got hit a bit hard, but not by one attack," Kyris said and Dral grabbed onto her arm and she looked at him.

"I will be fine, I will talk my share as well, it's why I made sure I got here," he replied then glanced at Alix before smiling and Alix brows furrowed.

"Hello," Dral said.

"Hello, I have seen you before, at her shop," Alix replied and Dral chuckled.

"We will get to that later, you must be quite suspicious right now, huh?" Dral asked and Alix scoffed.

"I am used to a lot of things by now, I will wait to hear your side about that and also your side of the story about the past, we all want to know, after all, you seem to be the one Adora was waiting on," Alix responded and Dral sighed.

"Yeah, I promised, after all," Dral said.

"First focus on healing, then you can go ahead and speak," Alix replied and Dral chuckled then Adora sighed.

"Thank you," Dral said as Kyris began healing him and Kyris smiled at him.

"You are welcome," Kyris replied.

"Dral, are they here?" Adora asked and he glanced at her as she clenched her right fist then Dral's brows furrowed.

"Adora..." he mumbled before coughing and she glanced at him and her eyes glowed brighter then Alix looked at her before approaching her.

"Don't anything, not yet..." Dral said in a soft tone and she exhaled deeply.

Alix placed his hand on her shoulder and she looked at him.

"Listen to him, for now," Alix said and she nodded then Dral smiled.

"Well, well, princess, who would have thought this would have happened, you two," Dral added and they looked at him.

"What do you mean by that?" Kyris asked as he poured a bit more energy into healing him and Dral chuckled.

"Destiny, it doesn't really matter, I will tell you guys about it within my bit of the story, I will talk a little about the leaders and then I will continue from where Adora left off, I don't want to waste too much time, so, is that okay?" Dral asked and they smiled at him.

"Yeah, but take a few more minutes to yourself, then you can start," Alix responded and Dral nodded.

Adora closed her eyes and Alix glanced at her, wondering what she was thinking about then she sighed and reopened her eyes.

"Dral, how did this happen?" Yaron asked.

"They found out about my meetings with the princess and that I am somehow connected to the past, so they tracked me, there were many of them and some were powerful, that's how I am like this, but I killed most of them," he responded and Yaron frowned.

"I see, you are as strong as ever, do you think any of them followed you here?" Yaron asked.

"No, I don't think so, it's quite hard to get past that force field," he responded and Yaron sighed in a bit of relief.

"Good, also, it's good to finally see you after so long, I wish it was under better circumstances, though," Yaron said and Dral exhaled deeply before lowering his head and clenching his right fist and Alix saw.

"I wish the same Yaron, but I had to be there," he replied and Yaron smiled.

'I know, you are just doing your duty and what's right even after all these years, you truly are a good friend," Yaron said and Dral sighed.

"Maybe if I were able to at least save him, maybe one of them would have been here today...." he mumbled and Alix's eyes narrowed since he heard him and Adora glanced at Alix.

"Are you talking about the leaders of the Malactrics?" Alix asked and Dral looked up at him.

"Yeah, kid, I am talking about the, they were two of the bravest people I have ever known," he responded.

'Just how close were you to them? You are not a Malactric are you?" Alix asked and Dral smiled.

"No, I am not one of them, I can't dream to be either, I am pretty sure that would be too much for even me, I am just a warrior," he responded.

"I wouldn't use the words "just" Dral, you are more than just that," Adora said and he smiled at her.

"She is right, you are strong, you have fought for so long, more than most of us," Yaron added.

"No, I am not the only one, what happened back then, if I could have stopped it, maybe..." he said.

"Sometimes things are not always in your hands, there are things in this world, that is beyond our control and understanding, I have learned that, no matter how hard it is, some can never accept it but if you did what you could, your best, that's all that matters, what matters is what you do next, right?" Alix asked and Dral's eyes widened as he stared at Alix.

"Maybe... Fine, I am going to start my part, I will do it while taking my treatment, who knows what can happen next, Adora, your parents and the leaders were similar, it's why they were such good friends as well, they fought together in everything."

"The leaders of the Malactrics were the best any nation could ask for, they loved their people and took great care of them and went to great lengths to protect the ones they loved and defend the innocent, they grew more powerful together, both parents, things are similar now in a few ways as well..." he said.

Adora held onto Alix's hand and Dral smiled when he saw and he exhaled deeply.

"Are you guys ready to hear the rest, including who the heir is, which I will tell you at the end of it all?" he asked and they all smiled, then nodded and his eyes glowed slightly green as he stared at Alix and Adora then nodded.
