Rise of the Malactric Heir

"I am not very good in the water; I can swim, but are we going to be okay?" Eliza asked and Adora smiled as Nina brought drinks for everyone.

"Thank you, Nina," Adora said as she reached for a drink, but then sighed because she was wearing her mask.

"It's undoubtedly bothersome for you, isn't it?" Ayden questioned, and Adora smiled.

"I guess it is now," she replied, lowering her head.

"It would be much better if you just took it off," Alix said then she looked at him and he grinned as they all finished off their drinks.

"Not going to happen, stop trying," she said as the ship shook and Adora flung out of her seat, but Alix grabbed her arm and drew her to sit beside him.

"What in the world is going on?" Aerav questioned.

"Are you all right?" Alix asked, and Adora's eyes widened as she locked her gaze on his.

"Yeah, I am fine, thanks Alix," she replied and he smiled.

"You're welcome," Alix said as Adora rose to her feet.

"I will be right back,' she said

"You should not be moving around," Yan replied.

"I will be fine," she said as she walked away, "I am going to check on the captain."

"Captain," Adora said as she entered the navigation room, and he looked at her as she stared out at the rough waves before them.

"Your highness, be careful," he advised.

"I will be, how bad is this storm?" she asked.

"Bad enough to cause us to be late to our desired location," he replied, and she sighed.

"Don't worry about when we'll arrive; as I mentioned earlier, we have time; do what you need to do," she said and he smiled.

"Are you sure?" he asked.

"Yeah, I am; we are not in a hurry; stop if necessary," she replied.

"Got it," he said, "but there are no landings near here, so we have to go through this storm, which is getting worse."

"Is there anything I can do to assist?" she questioned.

"Don't worry, your highness, it will be fine, I got this," he said as his lighting began flashing quickly and in an unusual order.

"This bothers me," Ayden said, and Alix sighed.

"Storms like these are normal out here, we'll be fine," Kyris said as Adora stepped out onto the deck and the captain gasped.

"Your highness," he said as lightning flashed around the ship, and the others heard him shout her name and rushed up to the navigation room, where they saw her standing on the deck.

"What on earth is she thinking?" Alix asked as he went out with her, and the other sighed.

"They are not that different from each other," Sarah said.

"The lighting cannot hit the ship, it won't be good for us," Kyllan said.

"She can stop it, you guys need to stop worrying so much, you really do underestimate her," Nina replied.

"Are you insane?" Alix questioned, and Adora chuckled.

"Can you reroute things?" if it isn't strong enough to go against your will?" She asked, and he looked at her, then she smiled, and the snake began to move on his body, which started to glow red, and instead of the lightning striking the ship, he drew it toward himself with his eyes closed, redirecting it back into the sky.

"I thought Adora would stop it," Yan said.

'How is Alix able to use lightning?' Ayden inquired as the two came back to the others, drenched, and Nina sighed.

"They are right, you are very similar," Eliza pointed out.

"Huh? You sound agitated, " Adora said as Nina's eyes began to glow red, Adora took a step behind Alix.

"You shouldn't be angry, we did help," Alix said.

"How can you possibly use lightning?" Ayden questioned, and Alix examined both of his hands before turning to face Adora.

'What does she know about me? This is strange because she knows more about me than I do about myself,' Alix thought then sighed.

"I am not sure, it just happened," he said.

"Well, that's cool; I only recently learned how to redirect lighting, so I could have done that as well," Ayden said, and Adora smiled.

"You will have the opportunity to demonstrate your abilities in the match, in the meantime continue to learn different fighting styles, with your ability you can do many things, you just haven't realized it as yet, Adora replied and Ayden smiled.

"Thank you," Ayden said.

"You are really buttering them; how far do you think they can go?" Eliza questioned.

"I think they'll go far," Kyllan said.

"As do I, they are by far my best team," Adora said as she walked away, and they all smiled as she led them back to the living room.

"Adora, go change and let's have dinner after, you don't want to get sick," Nina said as the princess turned away from them and drew her mask down a little, then sneezed and they all looked at her.

"You sneezed like a little girl, that was cute," Yan said, and Adora pouted then went straight to her room, while Alix went to his to freshen up.

"I am afraid she'll get sick because she's been in the water too much, water puppy," Nina said.

"She loves the water a lot, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it can backfire a little," Sarah explained.

"It certainly can," Aerav replied, trembling, and they all burst out laughing.

"Your power is fire; warm up a little if you're that cold," Kyllan advised.

"Ah, I forgot that was my power; when I am cold, I don't think very clearly," he replied, and the others sighed.

"You guys are truly unique," Eliza said and Nina chuckled.

"You guys do realize it's way past dinner time right?" Sarah asked.

"Ah, it's already 10 pm," Kyllan responded.

"No matter, we had a lot of snacks," Aerav said.

After a short period of chit-chat, dinner was ready, and the cook served it at the dining table.

"That smells good," Kyris said as Alix walked out of his room after he finished freshening up and headed to have dinner while Adora had just came out of the bath.
