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. 946Please respect copyright.PENANAfEnklbM8W7
946Please respect copyright.PENANAc0v973LCdr
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. 946Please respect copyright.PENANAJZkOFA8lgv
946Please respect copyright.PENANANya3KefIIO
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. 946Please respect copyright.PENANADpjoVh54SB
946Please respect copyright.PENANAwOarV9qQnu
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. 946Please respect copyright.PENANA1e41a0JJR4

"Hello, good people of Para Dormus! Welcome to the greatest talent show on this side of the Divide!" 946Please respect copyright.PENANA3AK3sHvtan
946Please respect copyright.PENANAAM41T5qqox
The two middle aged men announced, adorned in aqua marine bedazzled blazers, embedded with the letter N and C.946Please respect copyright.PENANAYw4qyEJuht
946Please respect copyright.PENANAiKUB1rvvtD
"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.946Please respect copyright.PENANA9qNTPiZcMV
946Please respect copyright.PENANA7Ox5wzniic
Rider growled, not unlike the sound of a raging dragon as the light continued to blaze, draining what energy she had left.946Please respect copyright.PENANAONYz2pyoQo
946Please respect copyright.PENANABIr6UIcnv2
"You half jacked son of a legless goat! When I get out of here, you are SO dead to me! I'll-"946Please respect copyright.PENANA3anFNjkJuY
946Please respect copyright.PENANAOcTdkp60pa
"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. 946Please respect copyright.PENANAiuAyw1NEGr
946Please respect copyright.PENANAbilhWNZBzv
"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.946Please respect copyright.PENANAA936fUr2K3
946Please respect copyright.PENANAJjj56M6IGA
She stared at them, utterly astounded as if they had just asked her to eat her own foot. 946Please respect copyright.PENANAXLZr59PnB6
946Please respect copyright.PENANAomzadtkgdQ
"What, in Hell's name are you talking about?" 946Please respect copyright.PENANAu5TsHKsgdk
946Please respect copyright.PENANAhp0fYAa8bI
Nate resisted the urge to face palm and continued to smile winningly for the audience. So much for the PG rating.946Please respect copyright.PENANABLAi71Jo7g
946Please respect copyright.PENANADkERlq97Pl
"Your talent, dear Captain. What can you do that sets you apart from the rest?"946Please respect copyright.PENANA06ZNSIfTZC
946Please respect copyright.PENANAfyU4YGKcM7
Rider raised an eyebrow, slowly taking off her hat as the chilling scar across her face was there for all to see. 946Please respect copyright.PENANAs6WXkHJWbZ
946Please respect copyright.PENANADvOXavsFq2
"Other than putting up with you two?"946Please respect copyright.PENANAeXLE7jJLPf
946Please respect copyright.PENANAf7xnfmzE6G
Chase suppressed a chuckle thanks to his brother elbowing him in the ribs. 946Please respect copyright.PENANAQd1P3aTNea
946Please respect copyright.PENANAqaqmDl7FAP
Nate gave a wan smile, getting more and more aggravated, he tried one last time.946Please respect copyright.PENANAbVgtBrfQiw
946Please respect copyright.PENANAhMmbPcCltM
"Please. Your talent, contestant No. 5."946Please respect copyright.PENANA2VpMsGRMXW
946Please respect copyright.PENANAbaDmXhAzOr
Rider pondered for a moment, returning her hat on its rightful place on her head with a chilling smile.946Please respect copyright.PENANAqESbZPu1vW
946Please respect copyright.PENANA0pp0d6QbGO
"I can make people disappear."946Please respect copyright.PENANAy3RUlCEzsd
946Please respect copyright.PENANA2KC3rYWDGE
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...946Please respect copyright.PENANAF0M6OnY1Da
946Please respect copyright.PENANAPABK8OocCf
Is to run.946Please respect copyright.PENANAHLOW7VZXpX
946Please respect copyright.PENANAbxqogpJafW
The twins bolted off the stage as the stage lights cut out in a matter of seconds, leaving them blind amidst the endless darkness. 946Please respect copyright.PENANAqIHTZIIRBl
946Please respect copyright.PENANAx6jAp3GxgH
"I warned you, boys. You're dead to me now."946Please respect copyright.PENANABMg1bY0UgE

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. 946Please respect copyright.PENANABBR6hysRBX
946Please respect copyright.PENANAgjrvFxDtfb
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.946Please respect copyright.PENANArqFknO09JH
946Please respect copyright.PENANAqfBd4GkQJo
"Having fun?" He quipped, his large jaw resting against the floor. 946Please respect copyright.PENANATulHxIE9iI
946Please respect copyright.PENANAIaAQlRjcCS
Rider couldn't respond, still caught up in a fit of giggles which would last for weeks back home. 946Please respect copyright.PENANAd9ZfVsWnnS
946Please respect copyright.PENANAIdkA2PI65E
"Hey, Night."946Please respect copyright.PENANAWJNNUW170c
946Please respect copyright.PENANAV2yn8IS1Rd
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.946Please respect copyright.PENANAjkqcTQIKj1
946Please respect copyright.PENANA2fy9gwE3ua
"I told you I could make them disappear." She grinned up at the obsidian dragon, pulling out a carrot from her pocket. 946Please respect copyright.PENANAiF4iF8zQJQ
946Please respect copyright.PENANAOcPlNA371Y
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.946Please respect copyright.PENANA01nBhXjvlZ
