Chapter 307 By Blood

No one knew what Adora had in mind, but she knew it wasn't anything bad, and she enjoyed making them think.

"Now that this is over, I believe we should all return to work; are you still planning to dispatch your men tonight?" Adora inquired.

"Yes, I'll dispatch them," he replied.

"Good, it's best to keep the city under surveillance, the pests may be lurking in places we don't see very often," Adora said, and they smiled as they heard her refer to the enemies as pests.

"You really despise them," Lance said, and Adora nodded.

"I really do, I cannot stand them and all I think about is ways to kill them," she replied as Kyris chuckled and Lance sighed.

"They have messed up a lot of people's lives; we cannot allow them to bring an apocalypse, which we don't believe is all they want; they must be after more," Kyris said.

"Didn't it all start because of the war back then?" Lance asked.

"It did, it seems like there are a lot of things from the past that still need to come to light, things that we still don't know about, and we won't find it by going through books, we have to do it another way," Alix responded, and Lance sighed.

"You are correct, a lot needs to be revealed; I'm sure the kings and queens didn't want the new generation, as in you guys, to deal with a mess from the past, one that they were supposed to deal with; this is going to take its toll on everyone involved, if not more," the king said as they sighed.

"Well, we don't know what's going to happen or even what to expect; we might see different colors of this world if they get what they want, which won't be good, but then again, we have a lot more things to learn," Kyllan said and they nodded.

"Come on, it's time to leave," Adora said.

"You're right, it's time to get moving," Alix replied.

"You guys take care, we know the enemy is strong, we have heard too much about how cruel they might be, they don't care who gets in their way, we don't want anything to happen to you kids so please, make sure you call on us if you need anything, Max will take you guys back, good luck," the queen said, and they smiled before getting into the cars and leaving, heading back to the villa.

After a while of driving, they arrived at the villa, where they exited and went inside. Max then left, and they sat in the living room, discussing future plans regarding the crystal and the enemies.

Later that day, after everyone had finished eating dinner and freshening up for the night, Adora went to Alix's room, and he looked at her when he saw her enter.

"What's up?" he asked.

"Scroll, please," she responded as he stared at her, sighed, took it out, and handed it to her.

"What are you going to do?" he asked and she smiled at him.

"Follow me," she responded and his eyes narrowed as he left the room and followed her to the living room where the others were watching a movie.

"Can I have a few minutes of your time, guys?" she asked, and they all turned to look at her.

"What's the problem, Adora?" Ifrit inquired as she opened the scroll then showed them the map that showed them where they should go to find the crystal then sighed.

"I think this is the way to find the location of the crystal," she said and they looked at each other before looking at her.

"How do we get it to pinpoint the exact location?" Kyllan asked and Adora grabbed Zavis's hand, then the knife on the table and Zavis left staring at her.

"Is it okay if this stings a little?" She asked, and he smiled, then nodded, and she pricked the tip of his finger, then dripped the blood onto the map, which glowed green, then she grabbed Alix's hand, pricked him, and dropped his blood directly next to Zavis's as the others watched, both of the blood started glowing bright red, then just vanished, and they gasped.

"Blood?" Kyris inquired.

"Special type, strong bloodline, Alix is naturally strong for many reasons, and Zavis had the power of the other crystal transferred to him, it will help," she responded.

"I see," Kyris said as the map began to glow blue. Adora smirked as another marking appeared on the map, and they all sighed.

"It's within the hills on the outskirts of the city," Scott said and Adora nodded.

"Well, we're going there tomorrow; we can't let them get that crystal," Adora said.

"I believe they might already know the location; it's possible we'll meet them there," Alix replied, and Adora sighed, knowing he was correct.

"You are right, we will handle it, kill any of the enemies that gets in your way, if you can," Adora said and they looked at her and then smiled.

"We don't want to lose," said Ayden.

"We will go to any length," Aerav added.

"Even kill if we have to, my family is on the line in their nonsense," Sarah replied, and Adora smiled along with the others before turning to face Alix and the scroll vanished.

"Anything you want to say or ask right now? I'm pretty sure I can give you an answer," she said as she lowered her he and he looked at her, knowing something was bothering her.

"No questions right now, I think we should all just focus on getting our hands on the crystal, that's our top priority," he replied, and she looked at him before patting him on the shoulder with a slight smile.

"Adora," he said, grabbing her hand as she was about to walk away while the others chatted, and she sighed.

"What is it?" she inquired.

"Are you okay?" he asked, to which she scoffed.

"Yeah, I'm just going to turn in early," she responded, removing his hand from her.

"Good night, guys," she said and they looked at her.

"Good night," they replied, and she went to her room while the others continued to watch their movie.
