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. 950Please respect copyright.PENANAYaxt8DDtuf
950Please respect copyright.PENANAe55EjBMdo1
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. 950Please respect copyright.PENANAVkQ6qOX4V4
950Please respect copyright.PENANAinVaA0Bpkj
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. 950Please respect copyright.PENANAAA78axhsEW
950Please respect copyright.PENANAtLS0Za0QaW
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. 950Please respect copyright.PENANAwOKmXaRPwl

"Hello, good people of Para Dormus! Welcome to the greatest talent show on this side of the Divide!" 950Please respect copyright.PENANAoETzbXtfWV
950Please respect copyright.PENANAU0NUUXwu8z
The two middle aged men announced, adorned in aqua marine bedazzled blazers, embedded with the letter N and C.950Please respect copyright.PENANAR0RS9NkUPW

"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.950Please respect copyright.PENANAiwDDYaHxRy
950Please respect copyright.PENANAZUvPMqDMQk
Rider growled, not unlike the sound of a raging dragon as the light continued to blaze, draining what energy she had left.950Please respect copyright.PENANApvl7mOjAAH
950Please respect copyright.PENANAfqD1Bz8y3Q
"You half jacked son of a legless goat! When I get out of here, you are SO dead to me! I'll-"950Please respect copyright.PENANAysnGUqNHFg
950Please respect copyright.PENANAGwN8fF68rn
"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. 950Please respect copyright.PENANAoMOSB5l9oP
950Please respect copyright.PENANAGQBw4bHLuF
"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.950Please respect copyright.PENANAb2dEtajfmR
950Please respect copyright.PENANAtTdTwYDx0V
She stared at them, utterly astounded as if they had just asked her to eat her own foot. 950Please respect copyright.PENANAWvtXyNtBJT
950Please respect copyright.PENANAbKTlMpoORl
"What, in Hell's name are you talking about?" 950Please respect copyright.PENANA5EQwolzBQ5
950Please respect copyright.PENANAMlk4JgAM7n
Nate resisted the urge to face palm and continued to smile winningly for the audience. So much for the PG rating.950Please respect copyright.PENANAXlJSIVlETH
950Please respect copyright.PENANAs9yLF88ltb
"Your talent, dear Captain. What can you do that sets you apart from the rest?"950Please respect copyright.PENANAhWJXqS2kpa
950Please respect copyright.PENANAvzQ85uCU4G
Rider raised an eyebrow, slowly taking off her hat as the chilling scar across her face was there for all to see. 950Please respect copyright.PENANAQsnCDiD5Ma
950Please respect copyright.PENANAwXLSVLSGle
"Other than putting up with you two?"950Please respect copyright.PENANAGa3kJiNLUj
950Please respect copyright.PENANAgKkRjENjuu
Chase suppressed a chuckle thanks to his brother elbowing him in the ribs. 950Please respect copyright.PENANA7unA8ZAKo1
950Please respect copyright.PENANAGfdMmO8GJA
Nate gave a wan smile, getting more and more aggravated, he tried one last time.950Please respect copyright.PENANAWLqpvBPUrO
950Please respect copyright.PENANAgIDuKIVhtU
"Please. Your talent, contestant No. 5."950Please respect copyright.PENANANmMcvdTExQ
950Please respect copyright.PENANAkiA3mEOAmo
Rider pondered for a moment, returning her hat on its rightful place on her head with a chilling smile.950Please respect copyright.PENANAZNxGxJHlfH
950Please respect copyright.PENANA2enbCfKLy6
"I can make people disappear."950Please respect copyright.PENANA2a7S0Go1Z1
950Please respect copyright.PENANAjK4uoAdtG5
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...950Please respect copyright.PENANADLFQGKIBde
950Please respect copyright.PENANAVTD1IcTaqL
Is to run.950Please respect copyright.PENANACsty29TzNB
950Please respect copyright.PENANADn1mWWDyer
The twins bolted off the stage as the stage lights cut out in a matter of seconds, leaving them blind amidst the endless darkness. 950Please respect copyright.PENANAaefV7MT071
950Please respect copyright.PENANACsJd52FCyJ
"I warned you, boys. You're dead to me now."950Please respect copyright.PENANAKkm58qLD7W

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. 950Please respect copyright.PENANAjBuczegOI4
950Please respect copyright.PENANAmP3qubCvrM
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.950Please respect copyright.PENANAHt4BZXXSBK
950Please respect copyright.PENANA5F8CZNSjmL
"Having fun?" He quipped, his large jaw resting against the floor. 950Please respect copyright.PENANASJDjxdTeyW
950Please respect copyright.PENANAMfKShLtzXc
Rider couldn't respond, still caught up in a fit of giggles which would last for weeks back home. 950Please respect copyright.PENANAOP31Z8g6tZ
950Please respect copyright.PENANALJjnNUHA9d
"Hey, Night."950Please respect copyright.PENANAtfu6tNwusM
950Please respect copyright.PENANAVJXfviWP3X
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.950Please respect copyright.PENANAuRWHLF1wYT
950Please respect copyright.PENANAsEmUYg3lxU
"I told you I could make them disappear." She grinned up at the obsidian dragon, pulling out a carrot from her pocket. 950Please respect copyright.PENANAdBHIOutvwB
950Please respect copyright.PENANADNlEF3riHv
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.950Please respect copyright.PENANAsDWf8VslHR
