If there's one thing Rider hated, it was crowds.It wasn't that she was nervous of them, or their greedy, constant stares. It was that people simply irritated her. 940Please respect copyright.PENANA1dULbZIifT
940Please respect copyright.PENANA4zGlc4J6Tp
It was like an annoying rash. Dealing with them, talking to them, explaining the smallest of concepts to them was harder than force feeding a dragon it's vegetables. Honestly, at this point she'd probably prefer the dragon. 940Please respect copyright.PENANArZxRBuCLGw
940Please respect copyright.PENANALXjdF3KWHo
The large spotlight beaming down on her made her scars itch, despite being entirely clad in black for that very purpose. From her boots to her longcoat to her wide brimmed hat, she looked a mix of a pirate who just stumbled out of the Wild West. Tugging at the collar of her fully upturned coat, she tried to submerge herself in the alcohol soaked leather but by this point, the overly jazzy music had began to play and Rider knew she was screwed. 940Please respect copyright.PENANA7jizdfU5YC
940Please respect copyright.PENANAHYCzaCigCC
Her eyes widened in surprise before returning to its unamused stare, which was capable of rendering any pompous politician speechless. Unfortunately, in this case it was not a random annoying bug of a stranger that she could squash under her boot. It was the Hydra twins. 940Please respect copyright.PENANAqoKir4PSXD

"Hello, good people of Para Dormus! Welcome to the greatest talent show on this side of the Divide!" 940Please respect copyright.PENANA8IoLFeLF8D
940Please respect copyright.PENANAlymvq47Jl1
The two middle aged men announced, adorned in aqua marine bedazzled blazers, embedded with the letter N and C.940Please respect copyright.PENANAMPk6YgBQEM

"We'd like to welcome our fifth act of the night in this spectacular character talent show!" Chase exclaimed dramatically, throwing in a cheesy grin and a dramatic jazz hand sections alongside his twin brother, Nate.940Please respect copyright.PENANAOIUa78aQqD
940Please respect copyright.PENANAH40noJUWvE
Rider growled, not unlike the sound of a raging dragon as the light continued to blaze, draining what energy she had left.940Please respect copyright.PENANAcK2UY86CLy
940Please respect copyright.PENANAt4njY9vu15
"You half jacked son of a legless goat! When I get out of here, you are SO dead to me! I'll-"940Please respect copyright.PENANADmyJzC7eS5
940Please respect copyright.PENANAhoLwzGsOUb
"Our fifth act for this evening is our very own Captain of the Night Force, the Scourge of the Skies herself, RIDER!" Nate interrupted smoothly, attempting to avoid anything higher than a PG rating for the little kiddies at home. 940Please respect copyright.PENANAh8tQWDclGL
940Please respect copyright.PENANAzPLx7XwRVM
"Now then, Rider. What is your chosen talent for this evening?" Chase continued, glancing quickly at his watch as his pleading gaze burned a hole in her forehead.940Please respect copyright.PENANAKlUo0rOslv
940Please respect copyright.PENANAkrURof0ckW
She stared at them, utterly astounded as if they had just asked her to eat her own foot. 940Please respect copyright.PENANAi5mquWto8T
940Please respect copyright.PENANAUw7sR031xH
"What, in Hell's name are you talking about?" 940Please respect copyright.PENANAi99f5skd3I
940Please respect copyright.PENANANZHtirWRAF
Nate resisted the urge to face palm and continued to smile winningly for the audience. So much for the PG rating.940Please respect copyright.PENANAJk7UpDB5ff
940Please respect copyright.PENANAU9unQZq8kZ
"Your talent, dear Captain. What can you do that sets you apart from the rest?"940Please respect copyright.PENANA1ld3JOfqFA
940Please respect copyright.PENANAj12um1gpQO
Rider raised an eyebrow, slowly taking off her hat as the chilling scar across her face was there for all to see. 940Please respect copyright.PENANAEP7YmkTTxz
940Please respect copyright.PENANAWNZJtQ3rKL
"Other than putting up with you two?"940Please respect copyright.PENANAkKRJV6DHhl
940Please respect copyright.PENANAQdnQqFC55y
Chase suppressed a chuckle thanks to his brother elbowing him in the ribs. 940Please respect copyright.PENANA02F9C6sMeE
940Please respect copyright.PENANAn0V9saz8mU
Nate gave a wan smile, getting more and more aggravated, he tried one last time.940Please respect copyright.PENANAtT7LU1qvHA
940Please respect copyright.PENANAtLKzXye3ZZ
"Please. Your talent, contestant No. 5."940Please respect copyright.PENANAJdDeCEeilr
940Please respect copyright.PENANA1AbuGEdym7
Rider pondered for a moment, returning her hat on its rightful place on her head with a chilling smile.940Please respect copyright.PENANA9M1lq5sIUE
940Please respect copyright.PENANAq3VUZbLRYL
"I can make people disappear."940Please respect copyright.PENANAyGJP6C2nku
940Please respect copyright.PENANA3N8f748qop
Nate visibly gulped, a cold sweat running down his neck as he bravely took a step back. Any sane person would have realised that when someone as formidable as her takes off her jacket despite being submerged in nausea inducing lights that the best thing to do in that moment...940Please respect copyright.PENANAFNkWdzRH5g
940Please respect copyright.PENANAQWsLsDrRFI
Is to run.940Please respect copyright.PENANA1eKtzuGMOT
940Please respect copyright.PENANAbixXEpUWF5
The twins bolted off the stage as the stage lights cut out in a matter of seconds, leaving them blind amidst the endless darkness. 940Please respect copyright.PENANAOms6xBLMvH
940Please respect copyright.PENANAwOMbg56rGW
"I warned you, boys. You're dead to me now."940Please respect copyright.PENANAMovrvDq4H3

The shadows swarmed towards her as she let out a sigh of relief, the light now completely snuffed out. The shadows still lingered close, forming a large, unrecognisable object. Rider slumped down on the hardwood floor, eying her two quivering companions still traumatised by the events of the last few minutes. She let out a snort which soon turned to bouts of wheezing laughter which had Rider doubling up from hysteria. 940Please respect copyright.PENANAYJCT6loNbJ
940Please respect copyright.PENANAwpql9GPXux
The shadows soon formed a large behemoth of a dragon, scarred much in the same manner that Rider was but with a much less sinister greeting, for a dragon, at least.940Please respect copyright.PENANA57CjNq749c
940Please respect copyright.PENANATcOdOOD1Lc
"Having fun?" He quipped, his large jaw resting against the floor. 940Please respect copyright.PENANAIXV5udvcSa
940Please respect copyright.PENANACSPEc1mtSs
Rider couldn't respond, still caught up in a fit of giggles which would last for weeks back home. 940Please respect copyright.PENANA8Hcn70BYo3
940Please respect copyright.PENANAJP6wD2JeS5
"Hey, Night."940Please respect copyright.PENANAPiS0GplIYO
940Please respect copyright.PENANARJM2U4pinA
Eventually, she composed herself enough to drive the point home as the two utterly mortified hosts remained in the confines of the stage curtains, still glittering like sad little rain clouds.940Please respect copyright.PENANA6ayFGwAaLW
940Please respect copyright.PENANAFrUaWrU4m6
"I told you I could make them disappear." She grinned up at the obsidian dragon, pulling out a carrot from her pocket. 940Please respect copyright.PENANA3lXxS8AXpR
940Please respect copyright.PENANADLW3ms7Ysr
Nightshade rolled his eyes at his partner, hoping that next time they decided to enter someone into a talent show, they'd bring a more willing participant.940Please respect copyright.PENANAOua5ekGi14
