Rise of the Malactric Heir

Chapter 323 The Dragon

"What in the world was that?" Alix flew up in the sky with his eyes glowing red, looking around when he heard chains shaking and he saw a tail between two of the hills in the opposite direction of the mansion, with a green glow above the hill.

"There is a creature," he said as he flew back down and Adora sighed.

"Let's go take a look," she said, and they left the mansion, heading for the hills, but while going there Alix sensed the presence of a powerful creature and turned to look at Adora.

After a little while of walking, they finally arrived at the hills and they gasped when they saw a huge red and gold dragon before their eyes with shackles on his legs and a barrier around it.

"This is the doing of that hot-headed idiot," Misran said.

"I completely agree, only he is insane enough to capture a dragon like this, but why?" Adora asked as she and Alix approached the barrier, and the dragon looked at both of them, and Alix's eyes began to glow red and purple, as did Adora's, and the dragon roared at them, and they both jumped and sighed.

"He's one angry dragon, and he's too dangerous," Aerav said, and the others agreed.

"Adora, what are you going to do now?" Alix asked and she sighed, then placed her hand on the barrier and the barrier started fading as the others stepped back slowly.

"That was a risky move," Ifrit said, and Alix scoffed as the barrier vanished and the dragon roared again, and they covered their ears as it stared at them, and Adora smiled as it got closer to both her and Alix.

"This is a very old dragon," Alix said.

"I sense it as well, but it's great, isn't it?" He gave her a sidelong glance before smirking.

"Yeah, you're right, it's great," he responded as the creature growled at them, and Kyris and Ifrit both smiled.

"He doesn't seem to want to hurt anyone," Ifrit said as Alix bent down slowly, the claw forming on Alix's hand and he grabbed the shackles then ripped it off the dragon and raised back up as the dragon looked at its feet then back at Alix, and Adora smiled as the dragon sniffed the boy.

"Hi," Alix said, and the dragon bowed his head in front of both of them, and Adora smiled, then Alix grabbed her hand and placed it on top of the dragon's head, as did he and the others looked on while smiling, and the dragon calmed down, then they moved their hands off of it, and it looked at them before raising its head, and the others smiled as it flew up in the air, then disappeared within the clouds, and they sighed.

"Wow, that was quick," Kyllan said.

"Yes, but he wasn't a bad dragon, so why was he locked up?" Alix asked, and Adora sighed.

"That I will have to ask him when he gets back," Adora responded as they began walking back to the mansion.

While going back to the mansion, they saw the same dragon again, soaring through the sky while roaring and they smiled.

"He must be happy," Alix said.

"I believe so as well," Eliza replied as the dragon blew a ring of fire within the sky, then flew through it and disappeared as they smiled.

"That was really cool," Ifrit said.

"You are correct, it was," Aerav replied, and Ifirt chuckled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Soon enough, you will be able to do a lot more with your powers, you just have to be patient, fire is difficult to control if you are not patient," Ifrit said and Aerav smiled as they arrived at the mansion and then went in.

"Well, guys, I'm going to sleep, because it's almost night, not an excuse, I just feel like getting some more sleep," Kyllan said and they smiled then he went to his room and Adora went to the kitchen.

"Are you going to start making dinner?" Ifrit inquired as he and Nina entered the kitchen, and she smiled as she looked at them.

"Yeah, want to help?" she asked as Ifrit approached her, patted her on the head and she looked at him.

"What is it?" she asked.

"Nothing, we will help right, Nina?" he asked.

"Yes, right, let's get to work, chefs," she replied, and they laughed as Alix and Kyris entered the kitchen.

"Now, you two, come help as well, the more hands the better, especially those who can cook, the faster we will finish," Ifrit said, and Alix chuckled as he and Kyris joined them to prepare dinner.

"Do you need any more assistance?" Zack asked, and they all looked at him before Adora looked at the chicken.

"You can cook, I forgot for a second, come on, take care of the chicken," she responded and he smiled.

"Sure, I don't mind; next time remember I can cook and ask, I am a pretty good cook as well, I will help," he said as he grabbed a knife.

"Be careful, that knife is quite sharp, don't get cut," Alix warned and they laughed and then began cooking.

While they were cooking, Alix began to see images that he would normally see, and he clutched his head, then gnashed his teeth as his eyes began to glow purple, and Adora felt something like a chain on her legs, but when she looked, she saw nothing and shrugged, completely ignoring it, but then she began to get a heavy feeling, and she turned around to look at Alix, and he glanced at her as she swallowed, while looking at his eyes.

Alix's powers had begun getting stronger despite him having much control and Adora knew that.

"Hey, Alix are you going to be okay?" she asked.

"Yeah, I'll be fine, I just need to practice a bit more, mastering my abilities will not be easy but doesn't matter, relax a bit and just pay attention to what you're doing before you burn such good food," he responded and she scoffed before continuing to cook the food.
