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. 929Please respect copyright.PENANAmrzbi8SdAv
929Please respect copyright.PENANApTmvE0XqHr
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. 929Please respect copyright.PENANAK2AHb03ejT

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. 929Please respect copyright.PENANA7hw3uI6ldf

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. 929Please respect copyright.PENANApQbfCqRfdT

"Hello, good people of Para Dormus! Welcome to the greatest talent show on this side of the Divide!" 929Please respect copyright.PENANAjVLOJwPIr5
929Please respect copyright.PENANAoTorV2HXWB
The two middle aged men announced, adorned in aqua marine bedazzled blazers, embedded with the letter N and C.929Please respect copyright.PENANAJmiVJaF0si

"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.929Please respect copyright.PENANArCpJYJa2ei
929Please respect copyright.PENANAgua5cQk1hi
Rider growled, not unlike the sound of a raging dragon as the light continued to blaze, draining what energy she had left.929Please respect copyright.PENANARiZrOW0QYV
929Please respect copyright.PENANAotMNxdhsQr
"You half jacked son of a legless goat! When I get out of here, you are SO dead to me! I'll-"929Please respect copyright.PENANAmDg6vAUulu
929Please respect copyright.PENANA1LRQshA4VL
"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. 929Please respect copyright.PENANAfFfxaR7NbD
929Please respect copyright.PENANAUvmH7cU2Tr
"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.929Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5d9RR5pnp
929Please respect copyright.PENANA61t84DKVnb
She stared at them, utterly astounded as if they had just asked her to eat her own foot. 929Please respect copyright.PENANAk6oIvSs5CR
929Please respect copyright.PENANAWQ1HBUN3H8
"What, in Hell's name are you talking about?" 929Please respect copyright.PENANAAXcd5IWNo0
929Please respect copyright.PENANAVMlDE1Wfio
Nate resisted the urge to face palm and continued to smile winningly for the audience. So much for the PG rating.929Please respect copyright.PENANARsrIsmYZjv
929Please respect copyright.PENANAqxRSyNbM6V
"Your talent, dear Captain. What can you do that sets you apart from the rest?"929Please respect copyright.PENANAGqR84RypHd
929Please respect copyright.PENANA2SU38mHHtP
Rider raised an eyebrow, slowly taking off her hat as the chilling scar across her face was there for all to see. 929Please respect copyright.PENANAwICso6P4bp
929Please respect copyright.PENANAm4KdR9FIDN
"Other than putting up with you two?"929Please respect copyright.PENANAkJeGbb1Hoi
929Please respect copyright.PENANACdDocgggXK
Chase suppressed a chuckle thanks to his brother elbowing him in the ribs. 929Please respect copyright.PENANAOVDV6R68MP
929Please respect copyright.PENANAkchVdwQkri
Nate gave a wan smile, getting more and more aggravated, he tried one last time.929Please respect copyright.PENANALmFZzEXpsG
929Please respect copyright.PENANAQDDgpsG1vj
"Please. Your talent, contestant No. 5."929Please respect copyright.PENANAJVVYv7Izp0
929Please respect copyright.PENANAyPlQVP8g08
Rider pondered for a moment, returning her hat on its rightful place on her head with a chilling smile.929Please respect copyright.PENANAppfmxgM0t3

"I can make people disappear."929Please respect copyright.PENANAovEWDzQIky
929Please respect copyright.PENANAqQw5GTCvGo
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...929Please respect copyright.PENANAeWakJ9hcFr
929Please respect copyright.PENANADuKysOrcIy
Is to run.929Please respect copyright.PENANAJH8VgcGN4I

The twins bolted off the stage as the stage lights cut out in a matter of seconds, leaving them blind amidst the endless darkness. 929Please respect copyright.PENANAevMVtf0VWG

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. 929Please respect copyright.PENANAhw9xkJ5ihe
929Please respect copyright.PENANAW5xncEOuNA
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.929Please respect copyright.PENANAq7EZu1o4SZ
929Please respect copyright.PENANAO22rUk8PAs
"Having fun?" He quipped, his large jaw resting against the floor. 929Please respect copyright.PENANA6yfIRsPWoE
929Please respect copyright.PENANAgNd1rGNO1e
Rider couldn't respond, still caught up in a fit of giggles which would last for weeks back home. 929Please respect copyright.PENANAPM0vAOlEHN

"Hey, Night."929Please respect copyright.PENANA3wGDRR2JpZ

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.929Please respect copyright.PENANANH0ItcYGUU

"I told you I could make them disappear." She grinned up at the obsidian dragon, pulling out a carrot from her pocket. 929Please respect copyright.PENANAphmcKX0HxA

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.929Please respect copyright.PENANAb6PtYsyYkR
