Everyone stared at the view before their eyes and Adora smiled as they got closer to land and Alix inhaled and exhaled deeply and when the cold wind brushed against him, his eyes glowed slightly red before returning to normal and Adora saw then sighed.
"Welcome to the land of the Masvir, the home of the Malactrics," the young boy said and Adora exhaled deeply as the ship landed in a path, leading directly to the center of the land.
"Woah, it looks broken apart, but yet magical," Ifrit said and the young man nodded as a few people in the same mask surrounded the ship and Adora looked down at them.
"The princess Adora is here, along with her friends, put your weapons down," the young man said and the people placed their weapons down and the door to the ship opened up.
"Are you guys ready to take a look at part of the fallen land?" Adora asked and Alix glanced at her and his brows furrowed.
"Yeah," Alix responded before walking away and Adora as well as the others followed him.
When Alix stepped out of the ship, a gush of heavy wind blew towards him and he heard a voice of laughter and his eyes narrowed as he looked at the people in masks and they bowed their heads when they saw Adora.
"Your highness, welcome," they said and she smiled at them.
"Thank you, we came here for a very important reason, but first I would like my friends to take a look at the city," she replied.
"As you wish, they can look around," one of them said.
"We will be with you guys the whole time, there are a few magical things that are out of control within the city as well, so be careful," the young man said.
"Got it," Alix replied as he walked away from them, Adora grabbed onto his arm and he came to a halt then looked back at her and she smiled at him.
"Let's go together, I don't think anyone wants to get lost here, is that okay?" she asked and Alix sighed before smiling at her and pulling her beside him.
"Yes, I am fine with that, something about this place..." he responded and she smiled at him and then patted him on the shoulder.
"You guys lead the way, we will follow," Adora said and the young girl nodded as she walked ahead with her partner and they followed.
"How big is this place exactly?" Kyris asked.
"This island is one of the largest, this is the main city, there are many other things after this, it was one of the biggest nations, similar to that of the princess's home, there are many different sections here as well," the boy responded and Kyris sighed.
As they walked along the path, they looked at the vines on the broken-down buildings and the destroyed landscape which seemed as though it was still healing from what had happened.
Despite being destroyed, the city had a magical touch to it with different types of markings in many places and there were magical animals moving about.
Alix passed by two pillars at the entrance to the city and each of them had writing on them and he smiled when they shimmered under the sunlight.
When they entered the city, Alix gnashed his teeth when he began having images of sword clashing and began hearing screams as well as a woman's voice.
Adora glanced at him as the vines from the broken-down buildings move and Alix exhaled deeply before raising his head.
"That fight, it must have been one of the worst, this land is still healing, this city is where the fight took place right?" Alix asked and the girl looked at him before smiling and nodding.
"Yes, here is where the last fight happened, the one which decided the fate of this beautiful place and turned it into an ancient looking...That fight was the worst, it destroyed everything in its way, or so I have heard, but from the way the city has fallen, one could easily tell what it was like and how many died," the boy responded.
"All of the Malactrics died?" Alix asked as they arrived in the center of the city and they came to a halt then the people that were there looked at them.
"Yes, the one that caused this place to be nothing more than rubble made sure of that," the girl responded and Alix clenched his fists and Adora glanced at him and she saw anger within his eyes.
'Why does this all feel familiar to me? It feels like I have been here before, something isn't right, it...' Alix thought and Adora held onto his hand and he glanced at her then sighed, knowing that he didn't need to think about that since all he needed was the truth that would be coming from her.
"This was not supposed to happen, everyone was living happily back then, do you know what made the Malactrics as well as my parent's kingdoms stronger than it ever was before?" Adora asked as she lowered her head and Alix glanced at her.
'Her parents as well as the last heir's parents were living a great life together, creating such things that none had ever done before,' Alix thought.
"Their alliance," Alix responded and Adora smiled at him.
"Yeah, their alliance and that's exactly what threatened people with power, they stood above all at that times, they built such beautiful things together that no one else could have achieved and forged a new path ahead of everyone but, it didn't..." Adora said and Alix clenched his right fist.
"They destroyed the path they were walking on, which is why all of this is happening today," Alix added and Adora exhaled deeply.
"Yes, damn it, this is going to be a long talk," Adora said.
"They didn't have a castle?" Eliza asked.
"Yes, the tallest and despite being mostly destroyed and it looks ancient, you can tell it was beautiful, they didn't build it too big, they weren't that fancy," the young boy responded and Alix looked at the castle at the very back of the city and he sighed.
"You guys can continue looking around later, do you want to see the next base for now, the one that we are currently using and living at?" the girl asked.
"Yes," Alix responded and Adora smiled.
"Follow me," she said before walking away and they followed her to go and see the next part of the place.
