Chapter 249 Stronger Crystal

After hearing what the tiger had to report, she knew that drastic measures needed to be taken.

"It's okay, girl, I'm glad you made it in time, rest and thank you," Adora said, before the tiger bowed her head and vanished, and Adora stood up.

"Kyris, lend me your phone," Adora said then he took his phone out and handed it to her.

"Thank you," she said as she dialed a number and put the phone on speaker.

"What's the matter, Kyris?" the person inquired.

"Misran," Adora said.

"Your highness, are you all right?" the guy asked.

"Yeah, and your team?" she asked.

"They are fine, Adora, look, this is not right, we all agreed to help each other, we don't want to be the reason you have to make harsh choices, we help each other, not let others use us against each other, I am pulling the teams together," he responded.

"No, you won't do that, leave it as is, I'll call them home when I'm ready, I know you're angry and have every right to be, but a lot isn't right, I don't want to endanger them or you guys," she said and he sighed, knowing they cannot go into a fight blind.

"I hate that I understand what you're saying, when team one captain finds out about this, he'll be furious, as will the rest of the team, I just met with your mage, what do you want me to do now Adora?" he asked.

"I'll call you tomorrow morning and tell you what to do, but relax tonight," she replied.

"OK, that beast of yours is also strong, thank you, and good night," he said.

"You're welcome, good night," she replied before hanging up and handing Kyris his phone, which he took.

"Are you all right?" Alix inquired as the wind blew Adora's hair up and she gazed up at the moon.

"Yeah, we might end up going to war, but yet I am fine," she replied with a smile, and they all stared at her.

"Would you like to elaborate?" Yan inquired.

"Turns out I had less information, now I have what I needed and I am not happy," she responded, and Nina smiled nervously before placing her hand on Adora's shoulder.

"Could you please tell us what's going on?" Nina inquired, and Adora took a deep breath.

"Aside from the extra crystal, which is the most powerful, there was one before that, the red crystal of darkness, which can regenerate," she explained, and they left staring at her then sighed.

"So the possibility of the enemy already possessing the last and most powerful crystal is high, and the next one they are going after is the second most powerful, this is just fantastic, they won't let us get the next crystal, that's for sure," Cameron said, as Adora sighed.

"You're right, but I don't have much of a choice; I have to try," she replied.

"Would you mind telling us where you got the information?" Eliza inquired.

"I got it from an unknown source, but I think it's Janil; I got it on my phone when I woke up; I'll look into it further; we're leaving here soon though," she replied.

"Well, you can't fully trust it, but you did say there was more to the crystals that we didn't know, and you also said you don't know how many there are, so it appears that this person wants you to get to it," Alix said.

"Vellon also mentioned it when he whispered in my ear, he told me that there is another, let's see who get it this time, it's another reason I am willing to even consider the message, I think it's true, but there is no lead as to where it may be, also I think this is it for us now, a phase in which everything can go south, I am taking a risk and I..." she replied.

"I don't think Vellon will lie to you about it, even if he has changed, he has nothing to gain from lying to you, well that we know of and the message, it can't be a coincidence, first we need to find a possible location of where it might be if it's true, can you get it confirmed if it's true first before making a move?" Alix inquired, and Adora smiled.

"Yeah of course, I can; I'll dig deeper tomorrow, guys..." she replied.

"We're always going with you Adora, if we don't try this, we're all dead," Kyris said, and they all smiled before she sighed, uneasy.

"He is correct, Adora; we would rather risk our lives than sit back and let them have what they want," Yan said as Nina placed her hand on Adora's shoulder and Adora gripped her hand.

"I know guys, well I am going to bed now, also I don't want anyone to leave without saying where you are going, they won't hesitate from cornering us, today made me realize that," she said as she walked away and they exchanged glances.

"I'm scared," Nina said, lowering her head, and Yan grabbed her and pulled her close to him before hugging her.

"It will be just fine, Nina, we should call it a night," Yan said and Nina gnashed her teeth.

"I'm worried about her, she's got more going on than we know, good night guys," Nina said with a smile, and Yan smiled, before they all decided to call it a night and retire to their rooms.

Alix returned to his room, laid back on the bed, annoyed, then got up and went into his balcony, where he looked up at the stars and the star marking appeared in his hand, glowing purple and red.

'Things are really changing, before, I thought there was nothing to live for, I was an idiot then, I think I am finding too many reasons,' Alix thought when he heard Adora's humming and he smiled then sat on his balcony rail, listening to her as she hummed a peaceful yet sad tune.
