Rise of the Malactric Heir

Everyone peered into the ring to see what was going on, and when the dust settled, they saw both of the boys laying on the damaged floor and they were pretty banged up.

"You have twenty seconds to get up, the last one standing wins the match," the referee said and Alix looked at Soren who was bleeding and tried to get up but couldn't.

"Come on Alix, you only have to stand once," Sarah said as she stood up, and Alix clenched his fists as the guy began counting, and Alix took a deep breath, placed his palms against the floor, and forced himself to stand up, which he did but only on one foot, and everyone applauded as the referee announced Alix's team as the winners and Sarh sighed in relief as the magicians opened the barrier.

"Soren, let me help," Alix said as he approached him, took Soren's arm and helped him up, and Soren smirked.

"Congratulations, now take me to the medics," Soren said with a smile, and Alix assisted him in exiting the ring when someone else came to them, it was the annoying girl who went invisible many times.

"Hi," she smirked as Aerav, Sarah, and the others approached Alix and assisted both of them to the medics, who were in the medical ward on the first floor of the arena, and all of their teammates were there too, receiving treatment but in different rooms.

"Come on, let me take them," a doctor said as the nurses assisted Alix and Soren to their rooms upon arriving on the first floor and the other sat down in the waiting room. Only those who were more injured than them were taken to the hospital.

"Do you think they'll be okay?" Sarah questioned.

'There are a lot of healers here, if the injuries aren't too serious, they'll be fine in a few days, the king sent extra healers, don't worry," Yola responded.

"Are you thinking about Alix?" Yola asked Kyris, who appeared to be lost in space at the time, and Sarah tapped him on the shoulder, causing him to jump and look at Yola.

"Sorry what were you saying?" he asked.

"People unlock different powers at different ages, so I don't think you should be concerned," Yola said, to which Kyris scoffed.

"I am not, it just happened so quickly," he replied. "I hope their master saw them fighting today and I hope she is pleased because I am."

"If we are talking about the same Adora, I am pretty sure she will be impressed; she must have a goal or something, a point she wants them to reach; now that she knows they have more potential than they appear, she'll push them, if I am right," Yola said as Aerav stretched off in pain.

"Damn, this is going to be an inconvenience," Aerav said.

"It's like this or worse for many, some of the competitors really got their ass handed to them, there are a lot of strong ones this year, thinking about it is scary at times," Yola replied as Ayden approached them wrapped in bandages, smirking.

"Yo," he said, and Sarah smiled brightly.

"Ayden, are you all right?" Aerav asked.

"Yeah, I guess, I pushed it a little, no training for more than a week, after that I should be fine, not so sure about Alix and Soren, they are more banged up than any of us, they will take a little longer than a week, I saw them discharging Aerav's opponent, Lyzon will be out soon too," Ayden said as he sat beside Sarah while Aerav looked out the window at the next match.

"Soren will heal faster, you guys did well," the annoying girl said, and Aerav sighed and she smiled nervously.

"My name is Lila," she introduced herself.

"Nice to meet you, Lila," they said, smiling.

"Are those fake smiles? We were your enemies," Lila said and Nina smiled as she went to the others then patted Lila on the shoulder.

Lila was tall, with short black hair and a fair complexion.

"It was just a game, it was fair, and they're fine with whatever happened," Nina explained.

"Really?" Lila questioned with a bright smile on her face.

"Yeah, really, relax, it was just a match," Aerav and she sighed in relief.

"I am glad you don't hate us, fights like these cause massive conflicts at times, believe me when I say that, and sometimes some people stop fighting for good and use their abilities for different things," Lila said.

"We understand, but we won't let that happen," Elijah said with a smile as a doctor approached them.

"Which team does Alix belong to?" questioned the woman.

"Mine," Kyris said.

"We are having a bit of a problem with his healing process, Soren is fine, Alix's wounds are healed as well, but something from within him is preventing us from checking within him, we need to know if there is anything else wrong," the doctor said, and Nina's phone rang, and she answered it.

"Your highness," she said.

"How are they, Nina?" Adora questioned, and Nina smiled.

"They are all fine, it's just that Alix and Soren will take a little longer to heal, the doctor is also saving all of his wounds are healed but something from within him is preventing them from checking if anything else is wrong," Nina responded, and Adora scoffed.

"Tell them to leave it alone and he will be fine, that's an order, give them, good luck, I will talk later," she said quickly before hanging up, and Nina smiled.

"How are we going to proceed now?" Eliza questioned.

"Leave him be, that's an order from the princess,' Nina said, drawing everyone's attention to her.

"Adora?" Kyris asked.

"Yes, she says he'll be fine," she said.

"Understood, you heard her, doc; if that's all, let him go," Kyris said.

"Got it, he will be released in an hour," the doctor said then left and since it was already night Sarah had started to get really tired and checked the time which was 6:30 pm.
