Rise of the Malactric Heir

"Adora, I think this is going to lead to something really bad," Nina said as they left the compound.

"Well, that I know, I have no problem with people despising me Nina, I will do what I believe is right," she replied before removing her mask.

"All right, fine, just give me a little more time to look into this, Kyris is willing to help as well," she said, and Adora looked at her.

"Fine, if that's what you want, do it; I still can't do anything because I need to focus on the team, not on these problems," Adora replied, and Nina scoffed.

"I understand you want a break," Nina said as she looked out the window.

"Believe me, I truly believe I do, but do I still have a fever?" Adora inquired as Nina leaned in close and placed her hand on the girl's brow.

"You are warmer than usual, are you having changes within your body again?" Nina inquired.

"Yeah, they're bigger than the last time, my body is still adjusting to things, especially my powers, which I rarely use, I need to get into a real fight," she said with a smile.

"Why don't you go on a sparring spree with Alix, he seems as if he needs to toughen up a little more," Nina smirked.

"He needs to learn more, but he doesn't need to toughen up," Adora said as Nina looked at her.

"That is different, I have noticed a lot of change in you lately, that's good, fine then I will accept he's fine if that is what you truly believe, why don't you bring them all to the beast fighting arena tonight, I'd like to know if you want to rescue any of them, those people are something else," Nina replied as Adora looked at her with interest.

"Beast fight? That's not the way to tame those beasts; sure, I'll bring them; it should be fun "Adora smirked, and Nina smiled nervously.

"My sweet princess, which of your students are you planning to murder this time?" Nina inquired, and Adora smiled wickedly as she patted her on the head.

"I don't like that smile, my poor soul, and those poor students, why don't you move them into the castle quarters. Alix, Sarah, and Aerav live a bit far from the castle; it will take some time for everyone to band together "Nina stated.

"That's not a bad idea, set up a meeting with all of them, have them come to the castle this afternoon, we'll go to the beast fighting, and we can have dinner back at the castle," Adora replied cheerfully, and Nina sighed relieved.

"All right, I'll talk to each of them when we get back, do you want to go somewhere else?" Nina inquired.

"No, I should just relax today and avoid training a little," she replied as they approached the castle and the driver parked the car, after which Adora put her mask back on and they exited.

"I have other things to do," Nina said as Adora entered the castle.

"Okay, see you later," Adora replied, then went straight to her room, locked the door, removed her mask, and looked in the mirror.

"I wonder if I can be like this with them," she mumbled as she opened the seal on her chest and her eyes glowed blue and orange.

"You are beautiful, I think you deserve to be a little free and have fun, you don't have to hide behind a mask, Adora, you don't need it," the voice within said, and she smiled.

"I know, but this is best," she replied. "Perhaps soon enough I will do a face reveal."

"Sounds good in the meantime, you have me, Nina, and Kyris, and we know what you look like. Also, Vellon, that guy is bad news," it said and she chuckled.

"He has a good heart or at least had a good heart, he is a threat, but one I know I can handle, I just need to know what his next move might be," she replied as she opened the curtains and balcony door, allowing fresh air into the room.

"You are too kind-hearted unless you don't believe that he was the only one to blame for what happened back then when he was first suspected of being a traitor," it said, and she sighed.

"There is more to this story than you and I know; I'm going to figure out what's going on and how it's all connected," she replied.

"Be careful, you could become a huge target," it warned.

"I have you here if things get bad; I don't think I need to worry that much unless I'm wrong about you and you've gotten weak over the years," she said.

"Idiot, don't underestimate me; I may be living within you, but I'm stronger than ever," it yelled, and she smiled.

"You got all worked up about it, I was just saying, you know, it's possible," she explained.

"Huh? Adora, I'm a high demon, and you're hurting my feelings here, you know "It responded.

"Aww, don't be such a big baby, I'll use your powers alongside mine sooner or later, when I need to, which as you can see right now I don't, relax, don't go burning up my body," she said as she sat down on the bed and turned on the TV.

"As if I would hurt you, even if I wanted to, I won't, I like being with you, there are a lot of reasons but you don't use me like others would, in the past they used me to win wars, get power, I am glad I met you on that night, I know it was sad but it's the night when your mother died when you sealed me within you and you were just a kid," it said and a frown appeared on her face.

"You sort of saved me from being killed and turning into something I am not, we are even," she replied as she sighed and leaned back on the bed.
