"You are absolutely correct," Kyllan said as Zavis rushed toward Adora with speed and as he was about to punch her with his strength, Adora's eyes glowed pink and she brought forth her right palm, and as his hand collided with hers, the energy released was so powerful that as the impact hit the ground, it uprooted the flower and even the huge stones on the ground, causing the wind to sharpen, slashing a tree in half and everyone left staring.
"Who won? Nothing is visible to me, "Nina said as a cloud of dust obscured their view, and when it cleared, they saw Adora still holding his hand and not moving an inch from where she was standing, and Zavis on his knees.
"She won; it was her blocking his attack that caused everything," Aerav said, as Kyris removed the barrier.
"I lost..." Zavis muttered and Adora stooped down.
"You only lost because I was able to block your attack; if it had been someone else, you would have done serious damage; you are strong, Zavis; tell me, was your intention behind the attack to hurt me?" She inquired, and his eyes widened as she loosened her grip on his hand.
"I am not sure," he said, and Niya lowered her head.
"Bro," she called out.
"I- I am going home," Zavis said frustratedly as he stood up, and Adora grabbed his arm before he sighed.
"Even if you had the intent to hurt me, it doesn't matter, get it out of your head, you are nowhere near powerful enough to even defeat me, get it out, and don't let it get to you, it was a fair match," she said before releasing his arm and he left.
"Will he be all right?" Alix questioned.
"He will be fine, he's not weak, physically," Adora replied, and Alix smirked.
"W-what is it?" she questioned.
"You promised to train with me as well," he said, and she smiled.
"I remember very well, close combat is what we'll be working on, I am not in the mood for any harder training today," Adora explained as everyone stared at her.
"Uh... Adora," Kyllan said, and she looked at him.
"What is it, Kyllan?" she asked.
"Are you sure you are okay?" he inquired.
"I have been asked that question too many times already, why won't I be?" she wondered.
"Well, you see, you don't usually refuse certain things; what I am saying is that you are acting differently, and I am not sure what it is," he responded, and she chuckled.
"I understand what you are saying; I am just trying really hard to do something," she said, as he tilted his head in confusion.
"Trying hard to be?" Ayden questioned, and Kyris' eyes widened as he stared at her, tears welling up in his eyes before he turned away and smiled.
"Let her be, stop asking so many questions," Kyris said, and Nina smiled.
"Are you certain?" Aerav asked.
"Yes, I am," Kyris replied, and Alix stretched off.
"You all look so lazy today, Alix, are you sure you want to train right now?" Adora asked as she wiped her eyes, and Alix's brows twitched before he leaned in toward her and she pulled back.
"What is it?" "Don't you know it is very rude to invade someone's personal space?" she inquired.
"I don't want to hear that coming from you, I think we should ask you that, you look a little sleepy, did you even sleep last night?" he questioned.
"I- I slept a little, wait a minute, why are you interrogating me?" she asked and he grinned.
"You liar, from your eyes I can pretty much tell you barely slept, Kyris, hit her across the waterfall, maybe it will get her going again," Alix said and Kyris chuckled.
"If you want to die young, try it," Adora said as she shoved Alix over, and they all gasped as he fell into the lake below the waterfall.
"Alix, are you still alive?" Aerav inquired, and Alix rose from the water and looked up at them.
"Yeah, I am alive, Aerav," he replied, and Adora winked at him then he smirked.
'I actually feel relieved when I'm with them, seeing Alix smile now is really something else, when I first met him, he didn't have a genuine smile, but now he does, I can make people happy even if I can't,' Adora thought, and Alix's eyes began to glow red as he looked at Adora.
"Why are you staring at me like that?" she questioned, and his entire body started to glow red as he flung himself out of the water and into the air.
"Woah," Ayden exclaimed as Alix grabbed Adora's arm and as his body stopped glowing, he drew her close to him and both of them fell back into the lake, while the others laughed.
"Now we are even," Alix said with a smile, and Adora moved away from him while the others smiled and jumped into the water.
"They are all happy, Adora," Kyris said, smiling.
"I see that, and I am glad they are," she replied.
"It's because of you, Adora, anyone can be happy if they are around the right people," he said as he placed his head on her shoulder and she sighed.
"Your brother told me to tell you this," she said, and he lifted his head and peered at her.
"He says he is sorry for being mean just because you wanted to go on dangerous missions with me," she said, and he chuckled.
"After all this time, now you remembered?" he asked.
"It kind of slipped my mind, I don't really pay attention to your brother, you know that, but I listened to what he had to say while we were away, and it turns out we don't hate each other, we just don't see eye to eye," she explained as her eyes glowed purple and Kyris smiled brightly.
"That's great news. I am relieved to hear this, but what are you going to do to poor Alix now? I know you are up to something Adora," he said and she chuckled.
