The Deep Oneshots Part 2

rtte au

Here we go again. Tw kidnapping mentioned.

It was early morning, the sun hadn't even come up yet, but Dagur was already dragging his siblings outside. They were currently docked next to the northern market. It was just being to open there were very few people about.

Heather was nervous to say the least. She had to leave her dragon on Ryker's ship, which meant she didn't have a quick way out of here and she had no idea of what Ryker was doing with her dragon. Taking a deep breath she continued following Dagur around the market.

After a few hours the market began to fill up and Dagur still wasn't done. Heather had gone from terrified to board. Dagur was enthralled by all the markets wares and Alpheus was distracted by something.

They were being followed. Two shifty guys in long cloaks with hoods coving their faces. Heather had seen them at the last nine stalls they had visited. Alpheus definitely saw them too, she's pretty sure she saw him waved to one of them at one point. Dagur seemed remained oblivious to their stalkers.

"We should head back to the ship."

Heather piped up.

"Yes yes, as soon as we're finished here."

"I think we should go now, we're definitely being followed."

Heather said glancing behind her.

"Followed?"

"Two guys with hooded cloaks."

"How long have they been following us?"

"An hour, maybe more."

Alpheus replied.

"An hour?! Why did no one tell me?!"

"I only saw them at the last couple stalls, they've been following us for that long?!"

Alpheus nodded.

"And there's more than two of them."

"And you didn't think to tell us anything?!"

"No, is that something I'm supposed to do?"

"Uh yes! Obviously!!"

"Huh, well they're here everytime I come here."

"Why?!"

"They want to rekidnap me."

"REKIDNAP?! WHAT DO YOU MEAN REKIDNAP?!"

"Yeah, long story."

"Why are you so calm about this?!"

"They won't do anything as long as I don't go off on my own."

"Why hasn't Ryker done anything?!"

"He said that their only after me and there's no point in putting decent hunters in danger. Plus as long as I don't run off on my own they won't do anything. At the end of the day they're all cowards."

Dagur looked more and more enraged with every single word out of his brothers mouth.

"Ok. Sister. Would you do me a favor and take our brother back to the ship? I have some creeps to talk to."

"No problem, come on Alpheus."

Dagur spun around on his heels, as soon as he began waking towards them the men started to run away. Dagur sprinted after them.

"Sh- should we stop him?"

"No, he's fine. Come on, back to the ship."

Alpheus followed behind her.

It took an hour for Dagur to get back to ship. He immediately ran to check on his siblings, who were brushing windshear and chatting.

"Oh hey Dagur! Did you catch them?"

"No, they got away. But trust me I will not happen again."

Dagur laughed out slightly deranged.

"Don't bother, it's fine. Do you wanna help us groom windshear?"

Alpheus said smiling. He seemed remarkable calm around windshear. Most of the dragon hunters were terrified of windshear, she even unnerved Dagur sometimes.

"Uh no thanks, I'm good."

"Don't worry, she won't bite. Not unless I tell her too."

Heather teased as her brother slowly backed away. Alpheus continued brushing under windshear chin, the dragon was practically purring.

"Awww you're a good girl. Aren't you? Aren't you?"

"Thanks for your help."

"Any time Heather."

Dagur is very much considering ditching the dragon hunters all together and taking his siblings somewhere safe because Clearly Ryker is incompetent.

Alpheus casually mentioning thing he doesn't realise is traumatic causing his brother to go on a rampage and his sister to question his sanity is going to be a common theme.
