Rise of the Malactric Heir

Chapter 144 The Next Source

"Don't worry, we thought you might be here already; are you okay?" Kyris inquired.

"Yeah, I am fine," she said as she sat beside them, and both Zavis and Alix looked at her.

"What did you want to discuss, Zavis?" Adora questioned as the fighters entered the ring.

"Wait a little I will tell you, also I think they must have figured something out by now, have you figured it out as yet?" he asked with a smile and Adora swallowed.

"I hope I am wrong though, what do you plan on doing Zavis?" she asked and he grinned.

"What I am supposed to do, of course," he replied, and she sighed as she lowered her head.

"What exactly are you supposed to do?" she investigated.

"Are you getting concerned?" he asked.

"No, I am not; right now I want to beat the hell out of you, but I won't," she replied, and he chuckled.

"You are still full of sass," he said as the royal rumble began and Alix smiled while carefull looking at the way the fighters fought.

"Doesn't he seem genuinely interested?" Zavis inquired.

"Yeah, he wanted to come for a while, and it appears that your parents are also here," she replied, and he smiled when he noticed them in another VIP section.

"They never mentioned coming here," he explained.

"I know, but they seem excited to see how the match turns out," she replied, and Niya smiled.

"They are, just like your parents, they don't get breaks like these very often," Niya said, and Adora smiled.

"I understand, dad has always been busy, and the queen has a lot to deal with as well," she replied, and Niya smiled when she realized she wasn't addressing the queen as her mother.

While they were all busy looking at the match Adora sensed the same dark presence, the exact one she sensed at the restaurant and Zavis smirked.

"Do you sense them as well?" he inquired, and she looked at him.

"What's going on here, Zavis?" she asked.

"You don't have to worry about them getting their hands on the source, isn't that good?" he asked and she clenched her fists.

"What are you thinking? you have a crazy look in your eyes," she said and he grabbed her by her hand then she looked him in the eyes.

"Enjoy the match," he said before getting up and leaving, having left her perplexed as to what he was going to do for during their little talk by the waterfall the other night, she figured out that he was the next energy source, and the power was within his body.

'Something is not right, if they are here, Zavis is not safe, he is acting strange too and I don't like this, not a bit,' she reasoned.

"Zack," she exclaimed, startling the others, who all turned to face her as she stood up.

"You scared me, don't give me a heart attack at such a young age, what's the problem?" he asked.

"If the energy source was within a person, how will one be able to get the powers out exactly?" she asked and Zack's eyes narrowed while looking at her.

"Hey kids, what are you guys talking about?" the king asked and Adora looked at him and the queen.

"Are you guys talking about the energy source?" the queen asked.

"I am," Adora replied.

"Why? What exactly is going on?" she asked.

"You have heard about the incident back home, right? About the crystal? Didn't my father say anything to you guys?" Adora asked.

"Yes, he did, which is why we have been extra cautious; where is Zavis?" she asked.

"The only way to get it out is to remove it from the person it's in, depends on how long the powers have been within that person, if things go wrong you can kill the host," Zack said and Adora sighed.

"Will the power vanish if the host dies?" she questioned.

"Yes," Zack responded and the queen's eyes widened.

"Did you discover where the source could be?" Alix asked.

"It's within my cousin, Zavis, am I right uncle?" Adora asked.

"You are correct, we placed it inside him; we had no idea someone would find out about it," the king responded, and Adora sighed.

"They know it's Zavis, they are coming for him, damn it," Adora said as she sensed the same darkness that caused Alix to leap from his seat.

"I think they are already here," Alix said as Adora rushed out of the arena, and they all followed her out. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and flew up in the air, where she saw Zavis on top of the city's tallest tower, not the one she went on near the castle, and her eyes trembled.

"Found him," she said as she landed on the ground and the king and queen looked at her with pleading eyes.

"You should have told me," she remarked.

"Teleport me to the tower, Kyris, I have a feeling Zavis is up to no good, meaning if he gets rid of himself, he gets rid of the powers, he is trying to help but in the wrong way," she said, and Kyris sighed as a blue circle with markings formed under her feet causing her to disappear then she reappeared on the tower.

"What exactly are you doing here?" Adora asked, and Zavis jumped when he noticed her, and she sighed.

"Are you a moron?" she inquired.

"Why are you here?" she asked as the others arrived at the end of the road where the tower was. The street was empty because most people were at the arena, and Adora sensed the same darkness again.

"They are here, you need to come back with me, this isn't going to work," she said, and he lowered his head, tears welling up in his eyes.

"I don't like that look at all, Zavis," she stated.

"This is my only way to help you," he replied and she scoffed.

"She needs to hurry up, they are coming, I sense the same darkness I did earlier," Alix said and the queen held onto the king's hand.
