Chapter 251 A Crystal Of Chaos

When Adora awoke the next morning, she removed her headphones and went about her normal routine, including taking a bath.

When she was done, the girl dressed and went down to the living room.

"Good morning guys," she said as Kyris hugged her from behind. She looked at him with a dead look in her eyes, and he immediately moved away from her.

"What?" she asked.

"What's the deal with your frightening expression? Adora, did you get enough sleep last night?" he asked then she smiled and approached Kyris then patted him on the shoulder.

"I need to talk to you guys; please sit," she said, and they all sat.

"Good morning," the king said as he entered the living room and Adora smiled.

"Good morning, sit down," she replied and he sat with them, then the envelopes appeared in her hand and she placed them on the table and the king collected them then took a look at the papers and sighed.

"Someone left this for me last night; to confirm if what they are saying is true, I need to speak with my father," she explained as they read the paper and examined the map marking.

"Seems like a good way to confirm, talk to your father, I think this is true, no one would go through this much trouble with so much good info too, seems like this person genuinely wants to help,, well keyword here is seems," Alix said, handing the papers back to Adora, who sighed as she collected them.

"Yeah, I'm going to talk to him now, I don't want to worry him, but I don't think I have another option right now, I feel like beating the hell out of someone right now too, you guys go ahead and have breakfast," she said as the papers vanished and she walked out of the living room and went to the garden, leaving the others to have breakfast with the king.

Adora took her phone from her pants pocket after sitting in the garden and dialed her father's number.

"Hello," he said upon answering and she smiled.

"Are you okay father?" she asked and the king smiled while doing work in his office.

"Yeah, are you and your friends all right, Adora?" he inquired.

"We're fine, though we're having some issues as well," she replied and he exhaled deeply. "I called because I wanted to ask you something, it's about the crystal, one specific one to be precise."

"Go ahead, ask; I'll respond as best I can," he said, and she smiled slightly.

"I am happy to hear that, father, it's about the red crystal of darkness, father, can you tell me about what it was like back then? If you ever saw it?" she asked and he gasped.

"What? "Why do you want to know about the wretched thing?" he asked, drawing a sigh from her.

"Because the enemy is pursuing it, which means it still exists," she replied, and the king exhaled deeply.

"How did you find out about the crystal, Adora?" "It's not in any book, nor are there any prophecies?" he inquired.

"I was tipped off, and now that I've heard your reaction, I know the messenger isn't lying or anything, will you tell me?" she asked.

"Since this is related to the current crisis and also your stubbornness, I will tell you for your own good as well as the good of your teams, so listen to what I am going to say carefully, Adora," he responded, and she sighed in relief.

"All right I will listen to your story, carefully, father," she said and he scoffed.

"Okay, this was before the Malactrics were destroyed, the crystal was a power source we used back then, that crystal would be used to create or destroy things, but during the war, your grandfather and a few others took it and used it to destroy an entire army, killing a lot of people, the crystal became the one of darkness because of that, it was created by the Malactrics and the dragonics along with a few ancient dragons that are now dead and a few other races, it showed not only our power but a lot of things," he said with a low tone and she lowered her head.

"It also caused chaos," she replied.

"Yes, and it's all because people got greedy, the kingdoms were in peace until they started fighting for more power, the other crystals weren't used as much because they weren't as powerful, but greediness is one thing I wish didn't exist when it comes to powers, the earth of our kingdoms will be scared for most of eternity because of it," he said and she gnashed her teeth.

"Father, are any of your previous enemies still alive?" she inquired.

"We kept no one alive who was involved because we couldn't risk their stupidity spreading to the new generation, which is you and all of the kids your age Adora, we tried our hardest to cleanse the earth of the past but it's the reason all of this has started again, sorry," he replied, and she smiled.

"No, don't apologize, this is not your father's fault, it was the previous generation's fault, you don't have to take responsibility for their crimes, father," she said, and the king smiled as the queen listened to him talking to Adora in his office while taking care of the king's paperwork with him.

"Adora, you have grown to be a fine young lady, I can't say I'm not proud of you, but you must be careful, the darkness of the past is rising like a never-ending storm, I wish I could be of more help," he replied, and she smiled.

"You have helped a lot more than you think, father," she said. "Thank you for telling me the truth, it means a lot."

"You're welcome, kid, and it's also my duty to tell you, you have a right to know, I didn't say anything before because of what the past held, it's not good to know about," he replied, and she sighed, understanding what the king was saying.
