Adora realized at that moment that no matter what she told her father about the crystal, he would not be angry with her.
"Father, I apologize once more, I am sorry and thank you," she said, and the king sighed, relieved that she understood what he was saying.
"It's okay, Adora, whatever happens after this, we'll handle it together; tell me when you guys are coming home?" He inquired, and she sighed.
"Not as yet, we are stopping by the team base, talk things over about our next move then we will return home, we are not letting them get away with this, we will be home in a few days, but just to restock, we won't be staying, there are other things that need to be done, I hope you are understanding what I am saying father," she responded and he exhaled deeply.
"I do, but I don't want to, you don't have to do this Adora, none of you have to," he said and she smiled slightly.
"Even you are assisting, father, I know you sent out men to do more digging, I can tell you the same thing, you have also increased the protection around the kingdom, if anything I would say you are ready for a fight," she replied, and he chuckled.
"Perhaps, well, we'll wait for you guys to come home, then we'll talk about it more, for now I just want you all to stay safe, I have a bad feeling about the future but to hell with it," he said, and she smiled slightly.
"Father, keep yourselves safe and avoid any fights for the time being; also, there is something I need to tell you about a past species when I get home," she replied, and he smiled.
"OK, I'll wait to hear about that; is there anything else, Adora?" he inquired.
"Yes, could you please contact the king and queen and explain why we had to leave?" she asked.
"They must be worried, don't worry, I will contact them right away, you kids be careful, and the queen says to return in one piece and take care of each other," he replied.
"Thank you, tell her I said that, thank you as well, father" she said, and he chuckled, then hung up, and she sighed, relieved, but a part of her was not pleased, and Adora's anger was growing.
Adora then returned to the living room, where they looked at her as she sat down and collected her food.
"How did that go Adora?" Alix asked and she looked at him and then smiled.
"It went better than expected, we will be going home after I show you guys the base and give you all access to it so if anything happens, you can all go there, the shield and security won't let anything or anyone access the base just like that so you need permission," she responded.
"Alright, we understand that," Alix said then they sighed and she continued eating her food since she was still hungry.
'It's about time I told you about one of them, father,' Adora thought as she ate.
Later that day, while Adora was listening to music through her headphones, the ship shook violently and she nearly fell, but she held her balance and they rushed to the upper deck.
"What is going on?" Alix asked.
"Seems like this is our destination, maybe I am wrong, I don't know, but I can't seem to go any further, there is a force field blocking us and all I can see for miles is nothing but the sky and water," Scott responded and Adora smiled.
"Don't worry, that's just an illusion being reflected at you, you're in the right place," Adora said as she flew out the window as they stared at her and she placed her hand against the illusion.
"What is she up to?" Aerav inquired when Adora's body began to glow bright red and the glow began to spread across the illusion, causing it to shake, after which she returned into the ship and sighed.
"Try going forward now," she said, and the ship began to pass through the illusion, and they all smiled as they saw a massive island ahead of them.
"Misran, reinforce the barrier, you know what I mean," Adora said as he flung him up on the top of the ship, his eyes glowing red, as did the illusion that had been created.
Misran's gaze was then reflected on the barrier, and he re-entered the ship, which continued moving forward, heading to the island.
"What did you do with it?" Alix asked and Misran looked at him then smiled.
"I added a barrier within it; anyone who tries to force their way through it will suffer severe damage; it's better that way," he responded.
"You are correct, the stronger the protection, the better, how long has this place been here?" Alix inquired as Scott lowered the ship close to the water, and Adora smiled as she looked at the island.
"Team one and I found this island, my father decided to let us keep it after I bothered him day and night, he couldn't refuse anymore, and he got tired of me following him around and asking so he gave in," Adora responded and Alix smiled as the others laughed.
"Believe me when I say she can be quite persistent; that's a good thing, because if she wasn't, half of us wouldn't be here today, we would be making a mess of our lives and those around us instead," Kyris said.
"Maybe or maybe not, you can never tell what will happen Kyris, I am glad I found you all though, well, I just bullied your brother other than that, it's fine," she replied and he laughed.
"Damn, you didn't do anything wrong, he was angry when I chose to join you instead of him, and he really bullied you after that, but I am glad no matter what you guys didn't hate each other, you are all precious people in my life, and I can't afford that to happen," Kyris said as he placed his hand around her shoulder and she smiled at him.
