Rise of the Malactric Heir-Chapter 6 Mates

"I heard they are building Mecha's why?" Alix asked.

'Classified, you might be my friend but that's something I can't share though I don't really know much about them, there are many mysteries yet to be solved in this kingdom" Elijah responded.

"Alix they might be creatures in these fights, dark, demons, vampires, werewolves, martial artists, you have to be careful we are all living in peace right now but just one mistake and it will rile them all up, it will be like it used to with Vampires being hunted and so on, weak people fear power and the strongest fear when he or she knows there is someone or something with more power than him," he said.

'Some creatures are being monitored, some are getting rare, the rarest of them all and most lethal is the Malactric" Elijah said and Alix looked at him.

'Weren't they all hunted? killed by people just because they are evil?" Alix asked.

'I won't say evil, they are misunderstood due to their powers" Elijah responded.

'I see so there are no more of their kinds?" Alix asked.

"No one knows but I don't think there is, this world is dangerous, there is a void, some of us live our lives in fear, while some live without a care, the kings and queens keep our kingdoms intact, make sure the balance everything, their jobs are a lot harder these days, there are shadow fighters, creatures by the princess and the king to fend off evil, make sure the balance is there," he responded.

"I see so there is a lot going on that most people do not know about?" Alix asked.

'Exactly, I am only sharing this with you because I trust you, Alix, the king has a bad feeling right now, he feels something bad is going to happen sometime soon" he responded.

'This tournament is going to help recruit more fighters huh?" Alix asked.

"That's one of the many goals, for some the fights are just fun, the other it's a lot more than their reputation, it's to prove themselves to their families, show they are worth it, they have what it takes, and also money" he responded.

"I see well for me it's about money," he said and Alix patted him on the shoulder.

'That's fine too bro.." he replied as they looked at the students.

'Are you Alix?" a girl asked with a cute smile as she came up to him and he looked at her.

'Yes," he responded as two guys came after her.

"We are your team" the guy said with a smile and Alix looked at Elijah who sighed.

"My name is Sarah, nice to meet you," the girl said.

She was tall, had big boobs, slim, had short and brown hair with blue eyes.

"Nice to meet you too" he replied.

"Ayden," the guy on her right said.

He was tall, muscular, had black hair and green eyes, also very fair.

? "I am Aerav" the other said as he shook Alix's hand.

Aerav was tall, slim yet muscular, he was blonde, fair, and had blue eyes.

'We are your new team, we will start training at the other side of the arena tomorrow morning unless you don't want to then we don't have to it" Ayden said.

'It's fine, I can do it" he replied as they left the arena, on their way out Alix bumped into a girl and she looked at him with piercing red eyes and he jumped as he looked at her but she was wearing a mask.

"Sorry," she said and Elijah bowed his head.

"Your highness," he said and they all bowed their heads.

'Sorry, princess Adora," Elijah said and she smiled.

"You can raise your heads, it's fine Elijah, not your fault, it was mine, see ya" she replied then left and he sighed.

"Why is she wearing a mask?" Alix asked.

'It's to protect her identity, it's not safe for her out here, that's for sure, being the princess alone is bad for her," Elijah responded.

"People of her status make so many enemies that to even walk to the cafe might put their lives in danger that's how serious things are for them," Ayden said.

"I see, despite living here I don't know much, I usually keep to myself," he said as Maila came to him and grabbed him by the arm.

'Girlfriend?" Elijah asked.

'No, I barely know the girl" he responded. 𝘧𝚛𝗲𝘦𝚠𝙚𝙗𝙣o𝙫𝗲𝚕.𝐜o𝓂

'She seems sweet and also she likes you maybe it's time for you to come out of isolation and get into the real world" Elijah said.

'I prefer my isolation, thanks" he replied and Elijah laughed as they all went separate ways and Alix got onto the train to go home.

"Maila what's up with you?" Alix asked and she smiled.

"We are friends right?" she asked.

'Yeah I guess" he responded.

'Good, I like you, you seem cool, the kids at the academy are hard to deal with" she said.

"Yeah that I already figured, so are you taking part in the tournament?" he asked.

'I wouldn't last two seconds there, I can defend myself but not against those people, some of them are actual monsters" she responded.

'Yeah well let's hope I survive them" she said.

'Are you scared?" she asked as she got closer to him and he pulled away.

'No I am not" he responded as the train stopped and they got out.

"See you tomorrow, good night," she said.

'Good night" he replied as she walked away and he went to his apartment.

Upon arriving back at his apartment, Alix collapsed on the floor and his hand started vibrating.

'Not this again" he said as he sat up and clenched his fists trying to make the vibrating stop.

When he finally got it to stop he looked in the mirror at his glowing beady red eyes and then scoffed.

'I am weird, that's what the kids called me here as a kid... it was because I was a loner and prefer to be at times but this time I am weird on a whole other level" he thought.
