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. 954Please respect copyright.PENANAE5zkbgFxpQ
954Please respect copyright.PENANAOSkOUwYkE5
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. 954Please respect copyright.PENANAUuiUQP4kkY
954Please respect copyright.PENANASUxRQY6ZT5
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. 954Please respect copyright.PENANAl2591uMsz9
954Please respect copyright.PENANAOAasYTKlZZ
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. 954Please respect copyright.PENANAo98WbUbDes

"Hello, good people of Para Dormus! Welcome to the greatest talent show on this side of the Divide!" 954Please respect copyright.PENANAKaQah06FxI
954Please respect copyright.PENANAMBQwPZYDlN
The two middle aged men announced, adorned in aqua marine bedazzled blazers, embedded with the letter N and C.954Please respect copyright.PENANAHC2WjzCqTI

"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.954Please respect copyright.PENANAMiAoT3iCkD
954Please respect copyright.PENANALjp0Hf2hNQ
Rider growled, not unlike the sound of a raging dragon as the light continued to blaze, draining what energy she had left.954Please respect copyright.PENANAeDd19kG4Og
954Please respect copyright.PENANAlM4PmG398E
"You half jacked son of a legless goat! When I get out of here, you are SO dead to me! I'll-"954Please respect copyright.PENANAB2S8EjUcRW
954Please respect copyright.PENANAAZ9LDiMY4m
"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. 954Please respect copyright.PENANAmGxrHnXEal
954Please respect copyright.PENANAiH9MkK8Rf9
"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.954Please respect copyright.PENANAApkRacyNOt
954Please respect copyright.PENANAHxKuAG9wlZ
She stared at them, utterly astounded as if they had just asked her to eat her own foot. 954Please respect copyright.PENANAutduAw0oqt
954Please respect copyright.PENANA8euAGfyVn6
"What, in Hell's name are you talking about?" 954Please respect copyright.PENANA8NJAz06aw2
954Please respect copyright.PENANA4W1a5D4lw5
Nate resisted the urge to face palm and continued to smile winningly for the audience. So much for the PG rating.954Please respect copyright.PENANAFTBacIrWQ4
954Please respect copyright.PENANADS8I6ccrbq
"Your talent, dear Captain. What can you do that sets you apart from the rest?"954Please respect copyright.PENANA6fmJu0WbOC
954Please respect copyright.PENANAnEGidi6mku
Rider raised an eyebrow, slowly taking off her hat as the chilling scar across her face was there for all to see. 954Please respect copyright.PENANAzZkC4rMZQE
954Please respect copyright.PENANAEl43kwcWON
"Other than putting up with you two?"954Please respect copyright.PENANAugC9iaJ6UO
954Please respect copyright.PENANA52WvaAYDSe
Chase suppressed a chuckle thanks to his brother elbowing him in the ribs. 954Please respect copyright.PENANACES2c0hh88
954Please respect copyright.PENANA28gVD6bIfw
Nate gave a wan smile, getting more and more aggravated, he tried one last time.954Please respect copyright.PENANAMeNHj1ZpvM
954Please respect copyright.PENANAT1RRrcwiKt
"Please. Your talent, contestant No. 5."954Please respect copyright.PENANAMkEdOuPKcx
954Please respect copyright.PENANAHY7fo53jLx
Rider pondered for a moment, returning her hat on its rightful place on her head with a chilling smile.954Please respect copyright.PENANALxtl3WXZtU
954Please respect copyright.PENANA7Oot5zJZLt
"I can make people disappear."954Please respect copyright.PENANAaos5sIvMH8
954Please respect copyright.PENANAl3eZqSY546
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...954Please respect copyright.PENANAHECWdT9kPL
954Please respect copyright.PENANAX1lhEYsFNx
Is to run.954Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZW1RiAjj7
954Please respect copyright.PENANAGgBAQ9Buhb
The twins bolted off the stage as the stage lights cut out in a matter of seconds, leaving them blind amidst the endless darkness. 954Please respect copyright.PENANAUdQTKs7J8a
954Please respect copyright.PENANA7sGts0tQKl
"I warned you, boys. You're dead to me now."954Please respect copyright.PENANAAh5lrku6Pc

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. 954Please respect copyright.PENANAClob9KOthz
954Please respect copyright.PENANAYVVtMROFNA
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.954Please respect copyright.PENANAxFlEMG3WAg
954Please respect copyright.PENANA6Hrw3k1WOp
"Having fun?" He quipped, his large jaw resting against the floor. 954Please respect copyright.PENANAANtgC3nl7S
954Please respect copyright.PENANAvNeggX7toY
Rider couldn't respond, still caught up in a fit of giggles which would last for weeks back home. 954Please respect copyright.PENANAipVf9PvEs0
954Please respect copyright.PENANA5ocKa5fNij
"Hey, Night."954Please respect copyright.PENANA82yV3cM1p6
954Please respect copyright.PENANACbXBNVJnVy
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.954Please respect copyright.PENANA7G5I9kuWdy
954Please respect copyright.PENANAFA2pTeZ5BP
"I told you I could make them disappear." She grinned up at the obsidian dragon, pulling out a carrot from her pocket. 954Please respect copyright.PENANA3VbQJDsFDV
954Please respect copyright.PENANALuth2RCgvz
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.954Please respect copyright.PENANAzvkFR6NzE7
