"I'm glad you're free in some ways, Ifrit," she said with her gaze fixed on the moon, and he looked at her.
"So am I and this is more than enough for me," he replied and she sighed.
"Can we talk for a minute, Adora?" Kyris' brother inquired as he entered the room, since the door was left wide open, and she looked at him.
"Sure, come on," she said, and he walked up to them.
"It's about the map and the red crystal clues you got," he replied.
"What about it?" she inquired.
"I'm guessing the location isn't precise?" Ifrit inquired.
"Exactly, I find it strange, this can mean a lot of trouble," he responded, and Adora smiled. "I narrowed it down to three possible locations because of the hint you got from the stranger, I am going to try again with my brother's help tomorrow, hopefully we find the direct location."
"It's fine, take as much time as you need," she said, and he left staring at her before smiling and reaching out to pat her on the head, but she grabbed his hand.
"Don't even think about it," she said and he grinned.
"All right, all right, good night you two," he replied before she let go of his hand and he left.
"Well, I'm going to call it a night, I've had a long day thinking about dying," Ifirt said and she smiled.
"Good night," she replied.
"Good night," he said then went to his room and Adora went into her bed, trying her best to get a good night's rest which seemed impossible to her.
While she was trying to sleep, Alix was already in a deep sleep and began hearing voices. Within the dream, a red crystal with a dark aura and a few dark spots appeared and he left staring at it.
'What the hell? 'Why am I seeing this?' Alix wondered when he saw the same woman he sees in his dreams, but he couldn't see her face just like the other times.
"Alix, you have grown," the woman said, and Alix sighed as the darkness released from the crystal wrapped around his neck and he began to choke, but then his eyes lit up bright red within the dream, releasing a green energy from his body that caused the darkness to release him, and he awoke and sighed.
"I really hate this," he muttered when the scroll appeared in front of him and he looked at it as it opened up.
"What is it now?" he asked as a location marked with a star and a crystal on a map appeared before him.
"Is this the location of the next crystal?" he muttered, before the scroll vanished and sighed then went back to sleep, deciding to tell Adora about it the next day and talk to the others about having a training session together.
When Alix awoke the next morning, he went through his normal routine, which included taking a fresh bath, getting dressed, and eating breakfast, after he finished, Alix took off, heading to the castle.
After a short while of driving, Alix arrived at the castle.
"Good morning," Alix said as he entered the castle, and the queen smiled as she noticed him.
"Good morning, Alix, are you here to see Adora?" she asked, and he nodded.
"Nice, she will be down in a few minutes," the queen responded as the others arrived at the castle. They came because Alix had sent them a message, asking them to meet at the castle.
"Good morning," they greeted each other.
"Good morning," the queen replied along with Alix, who was joined by the king, Kyris, his brother, Ifrit, Zack, and Zavis.
"Adora might be late," Zavis said, and they all looked at him.
"Where has she gone?" Alix inquired.
"I don't know, she left early this morning, I saw her when I got up at 7 a.m. to get some water," he replied, and the king sighed as the others exchanged glances.
"I'm curious where she could have gone so early," the queen said.
"I hope she's all right," Kyris said.
"I am fine, good morning," Adora said as she approached them and they looked at her white shirt covered in dirt and there were small bruises on her right arm.
"I was out training, sorry if I made you guys worry, but I'm fine, I will go freshen up," Adora said.
"Can I speak to you when you're finished?" Alix inquired, and Adora looked at him.
"Sure," she replied, and they sat in the living room while Adora went to freshen up.
"Alix, wanted to train?" Ayden asked and he nodded.
"Yeah, that too, we need to practice fighting as a team a little more, and I have to talk to the princess about something," he responded.
"Alright, good thing you messaged because I was going to, I wanted us to train together as well and I thought today might be a good idea to do it," he said.
"Good, we need to practice a lot more together, I am glad we are all ready to train again, though I am hungry at the moment, we can leave that talk for later, your breakfast is important," Sarah said and they chuckled as the maids brought in breakfast and placed everything on the table before them alongside a trolley filled with eatables.
"We are all hungry here, so come on kids, dig in," the king said, and they smiled before starting to eat breakfast.
'That seemed like more than just a little training to me, how much did she push herself in training?' Alix wondered while eating, knowing many reasons why he is now pushing himself harder than before and could understand a little of why she is doing so, but Alix knew there was a lot more to it.
After a while, Adora had finished taking her bath, she dried her hair, which she had washed, and once she had finished, she got dressed, picked up her phone, and messaged Alix, who had finished eating at the time, and when he saw the message, he got up and left to go meet her.
