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. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAuK4pS3NWet
928Please respect copyright.PENANAoqppGdBhtr
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. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA4NDq42BuOn

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. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAAshPSkGUOT
928Please respect copyright.PENANAvkYi0xRSCq
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. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAkkwgsm1SUr

"Hello, good people of Para Dormus! Welcome to the greatest talent show on this side of the Divide!" 928Please respect copyright.PENANAVUcFobsHfC
928Please respect copyright.PENANANgsNRVQBde
The two middle aged men announced, adorned in aqua marine bedazzled blazers, embedded with the letter N and C.928Please respect copyright.PENANAY8VLxP9hnt

"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.928Please respect copyright.PENANAyIB9LUqpwm
928Please respect copyright.PENANAy2xbSpymTH
Rider growled, not unlike the sound of a raging dragon as the light continued to blaze, draining what energy she had left.928Please respect copyright.PENANAN2Z61kbtN9
928Please respect copyright.PENANACLMGpe1yLL
"You half jacked son of a legless goat! When I get out of here, you are SO dead to me! I'll-"928Please respect copyright.PENANAxaSJXgzXpO
928Please respect copyright.PENANA7mgvb93oAW
"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. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAkR5piun2Sw
928Please respect copyright.PENANAvpgmgXK6Oi
"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.928Please respect copyright.PENANAFlaHQ4tCcX
928Please respect copyright.PENANAateP7f3dx2
She stared at them, utterly astounded as if they had just asked her to eat her own foot. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA0mcvM6DYK6
928Please respect copyright.PENANARA7RLPgWQu
"What, in Hell's name are you talking about?" 928Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1D3NgC1BG
928Please respect copyright.PENANAwNT7RokHsS
Nate resisted the urge to face palm and continued to smile winningly for the audience. So much for the PG rating.928Please respect copyright.PENANAiWvIjzzB2Z
928Please respect copyright.PENANAMvb2zW7dmt
"Your talent, dear Captain. What can you do that sets you apart from the rest?"928Please respect copyright.PENANALtLjMZIO8K
928Please respect copyright.PENANANj1Qm2qidm
Rider raised an eyebrow, slowly taking off her hat as the chilling scar across her face was there for all to see. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAByceDHqMpF
928Please respect copyright.PENANAzAD27068fz
"Other than putting up with you two?"928Please respect copyright.PENANA1zEqpR34TX
928Please respect copyright.PENANA0GlVSo7Lth
Chase suppressed a chuckle thanks to his brother elbowing him in the ribs. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAjzcx6eC4D6
928Please respect copyright.PENANAHz8wHQQR3r
Nate gave a wan smile, getting more and more aggravated, he tried one last time.928Please respect copyright.PENANAbHe9JNaInO
928Please respect copyright.PENANAiluu5S5xsg
"Please. Your talent, contestant No. 5."928Please respect copyright.PENANAORIMdFR3Je
928Please respect copyright.PENANAY0KvN4rmxM
Rider pondered for a moment, returning her hat on its rightful place on her head with a chilling smile.928Please respect copyright.PENANAXUlax4XTBW
928Please respect copyright.PENANAGKGBvMD2BR
"I can make people disappear."928Please respect copyright.PENANAiTJipso7c2
928Please respect copyright.PENANAwROPyR1DaJ
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...928Please respect copyright.PENANAOFVMFSlj1i
928Please respect copyright.PENANAjSp8YdMyXs
Is to run.928Please respect copyright.PENANAEDGnRUMa3q
928Please respect copyright.PENANAo3HBBz3iPG
The twins bolted off the stage as the stage lights cut out in a matter of seconds, leaving them blind amidst the endless darkness. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAvHABXy4Tdw
928Please respect copyright.PENANAgINgfNwe3n
"I warned you, boys. You're dead to me now."928Please respect copyright.PENANA17OzVyVOZQ

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. 928Please respect copyright.PENANALu22X10w98
928Please respect copyright.PENANA6UjZeDAczW
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.928Please respect copyright.PENANAz3b9wPh42Z
928Please respect copyright.PENANAzKLgrKqwWu
"Having fun?" He quipped, his large jaw resting against the floor. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAuCVKLdxfEp
928Please respect copyright.PENANAgymDXODnsf
Rider couldn't respond, still caught up in a fit of giggles which would last for weeks back home. 928Please respect copyright.PENANAXHHr2nVJx1
928Please respect copyright.PENANAJB0oSQgNrw
"Hey, Night."928Please respect copyright.PENANAbP8Wkhnh2F
928Please respect copyright.PENANAo5plvXp2Ft
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.928Please respect copyright.PENANA96v1JyKlEd
928Please respect copyright.PENANAvTHJErsCHU
"I told you I could make them disappear." She grinned up at the obsidian dragon, pulling out a carrot from her pocket. 928Please respect copyright.PENANA6ECOXkdP6A
928Please respect copyright.PENANAVRHbgLvOYU
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.928Please respect copyright.PENANA1dH8hAxqbq
