The Mystery of the Dragon Riders

Chapter 6

They turned around and saw two kids folded their arms, glaring daggers at them with face flushed in anger followed by a guy with a bit beard and bulky muscle gasping for breathe.

"Whew, you kids should wait for this old man, you know?! " Eret said. The kids turned around and spitted their tongue out of Eret's face. Eret faking his anger by rolling up his sleeves and prepared to hit them. Then, the kids suddenly cried in front of him shocked Eret a bit. Tears were shimmering and flowing down to their cheeks acting like Eret really hit them, a sudden loud cried is released occupying the whole hall.

"WAHHHH!!!!!!!!!! "

Eret was like sweating bullets when he heard the cried. Kids crying was the last last thing he wanted to hear. Eret tried to soothe them but their crying was even louder. Thuggary and Heather just snickered at them and did nothing but covered their ears.

"Eret, son of stupid Eret!!! Do something!!! " Camicazi pulled Eret's ear as she covered hers. "Ahhhh!!! Ahhhh!!!! It pains, Cami! " Ryder just shook his head and pat the kid's head.

"Kids, don't prank your uncle Eret anymore. Stop crying. You guys are hurting their ears. " Ryder said as he pointed at the adults. The kids still continue fake crying but they could see that aunty Cami was pulling uncle Eret's ear while uncle Eret was crying in pain and covering his other ear at the same time. Aunty Heather and uncle Thug was snuggling into each other trying to ignore the sound of thunder cried. The vikings had the same painful reaction as well as the twins were jumping up and down, shortest guy was rolling here and there, the fattest guy just stood there in daze like he was ready to go to Hell. The other two adult vikings were furrowing their eyebrow in pain while the two kids beside them hidding behind the adults trying to get away from the cried. Then, they stopped.

"Fine... "

"Oh great Odin, thank you for listening to our prayers!!! The one that me hating the most is kids crying. " Camicazi let go of her hand but still pulling Eret.

"Sheesh, you guys should be locked in your room, not running here and there and let uncle Eret gone crazy...? " Ryder pinched their cheeks and the kids shifted their gaze onto the land. The kids pouted as they put their hand behind, rubbing their bare hands nervously.

"Sorry...daddy. We're just bored and uncle Eret is not helping either. All he is saying that I'm Eret, son of the Eret or you kids should be proud to have such a handsome uncle... He's so annoying, so we ran away and that's how we came here... " The boy said as he pointed at uncle Eret. Ryder just covered his mouth to avoid his laugh leaked out and pat their heads.

"Are they your kids? " Stoick asked. "Yes, meet Zephyr and Nuffink. " Ryder said as he gestured the kids to the vikings. Stoick could see there was a familiar feeling around them but he just couldn't get the idea. The girl named Zephyr had two auburn brown pig tails on her back of the hair and a pair of blue eyes while the boy named Nuffink had a middle long shaggy blond hair and a pair of green eyes. Seeing both of them made him thought of someone else.

"How old are you? " Stoick asked. "I'm five while my little brother is 3 years old. " Zephyr exclaimed. Stoick wanted to ask them more but Ryder cutted him off. "Come on, kids. Dinner is ready, you should go to eat. Heather, take them. " Ryder called Heather to take the kids.

"What about you, daddy? " Nuffink asked. "I'll be there for another few minutes. Now go eating. " The kids nodded as Heather took their hands and went to the hall.

"That gal in the portrait... Was she their mother? " Gobber asked. Ryder hesitated but he nodded. "Where is she? " Fishlegs asked hoping his question did not anger him. However, Ryder ignored the question instead he just said "You guys must be hungry. Come on, you guys could have a feast. Then, we could settle your intentions first thing tomorrow morning. Cami, let Eret go. Seeing him like this is making me pity him. " Camicazi let Eret go harshly and ran towards the hall following by Eret.

"Finally!!! I'm starving. " Snoutlout shouted as he threw his hand onto the air. "Do we have chicken?! Cuz, I'm ready to eat the whole body!!! " Tuftnut said. "Bro, you such a dope... " Ruftnut rolled her eyes as Tuftnut was ready to slam her.

"Oh yeah?! "

"Yeah!!! "

"BE QUIET!!!! "

Stoick shouted and hufted at them feeling embarrassed by their altitude. Gobber just pinched the bridge of his nose, releasing a strained sighed wondering why the twins here. Gelica, Triton and Fishlegs just walked past them acting like they were strangers.

When all the vikings reached the hall, the scene was bustling with noise and excitement.
