The Mystery of the Dragon Riders

Chapter 8

Toothless and Moonstar flew out from the door and went into the chimney swiftly to get contact with the chief. They folded their wings during the flight in the chimney and opened it the moment, they found themselves located above the island. They flapped their wings and circled the island trying to track the chief. Toothless narrowed his eyes for better and clearer look of island and immediately, he found the chief. The next thing Moonstar knew, Toothless let a strong growl until it could pierce her eardrum.

“ROAR!!!!!!!!! ”

Now all the dragons could do was waiting the chief's order.

Just when the vikings are having some food at the hall, a bunch of explosion was heard throughout the walls. The people were startled by the sound except Ryder. The vikings didn't realise it but a few minutes ago, due to his magic, Ryder was able to hear a slight voice of unknown people talking about kidnapping the chieftess out there. Hie eyes opened wide as his index finger tapping at the chair slowly leaving a drumming sound. He looked around the surrounding and could see that the people didn't hear anything probably because of the food. He tried to act cool in front of them not willing to alarmed them as he rubbed his chin slightly until he saw a leaf fell down slightly in front of him.

It was a healthy olive leave but looks can deceive your eyes as he channelled his magic into his pupils giving him a clear x-ray vision. Once he saw it, a circular pattern embroidered by different patterns of lines materialised and erased him, vanished just like that without telling anybody.

The green pigments in the leaf were decreasing rapidly meaning the trees were dying telling the chief that chieftess was gone. After that, he could hear Toothless and Moonstar are wailing for help. Ryder did not need to tell twice.

Back to few minutes after, the riders and vikings ran towards the window to process the situation. Thugarry looked for Ryder but he saw nothing but chair. "Everyone!! Don't panic!!! Just calm down and don't leave the hall. Dragon riders come with me!!!! " The dragon riders nodded and went out with him.

He cursed some words himself to show his anger towards Ryder and rushed out with swords in his pockets and belts followed by Heather and Camicazi without giving orders to the vikings.

"Hey, what about us?! " Snoutlout shouted. Stoick knocked his head due to his stupidity, grabbed his axe and ordered the vikings.

"Come on, we should help them even though they befriended with... Ugh... Dragons... " Stoick said and muttered. The vikings agree but the twins ran out from the hall without listening to Stoick and charged.

"AAAHHHH!!!!! "

The twins released a loud rour, charged towards the enemy. They ran and wave their swords up and down, right and left without opening their eyes. And when they do, they saw something remarkably incredible actions until they had to hid behind a barrel. Stoick and the vikings reached the scene and saw the twins.

"What were you twins doing?! "

The twins gave Stoick a fake smile and pointed at the North direction up ahead. Gelica looked up ahead, her eyes wided in fear and pulled the edge of Stoick's shirt. "Um, chief...? "

Her pulling got Stoick's attention as he looked up ahead as well. His eyes wided and his jaw dropped to thousand feets.

There were two persons facing each other with dragons on their side. The person who burned in colourful fire, wearing a half fire burning mask, riding a rainbow colour dragon and surrounded by lots of creatures which were burned in colourful fire as well. He was staring at the other person who stood opposite of him with blank expression. The other person was covered in black fire, subconsciously holding a lady with various types of alpha species dragon around them.

Ryder let his magic carried on, second he reached the room. He opened the door and could see the elves running here and there while the elders were trying to calm them down. Ryder snapped his finger and the elves stopped their motions instantly. He did not have the time to calm the elves as he had more important things to do. If he could not find his milady, this whole island could torned apart in a second.

"Kai, where is she?! " Ryder asked with his eyes boiling with anger until Kai could feel a lump in his throat. "I'm sorry, Ryder... But someone kidnapped her... " Kai muttered in fear.

"I know someone kidnapped her but the question is who is it? This person must be had the same power level as me until even I could not feel his presence. She vanished here and you must have check it out. So who is it?!!!! "

"Shadow..."

Ryder's eyes wided and his body turned numb. He walked away from Kai having a flashback in his mind. Thousand of sorrow memories flashed here and there in his mind. The more he thought about it, the more afraid he is. His hands were shaking terribly and his mind was ready to broke. "Chief? "

Then, Ryder unconsciously changed himself to someone he hated the most. Villain. His whole body turned black when a burning black fire engulfed him. His beautiful emerald green eyes have replaced with horrifying crimson red as the vessel in his eyes could be clearly seen, two fire burning scar appeared on his right eye.

"TOOTHLESS!!!!! "

Suddenly, a night fury appeared and rushed down into his body to fuse with him. There was nothing change about his appearance but a charge of electricity appeared on his palm. Kai and Moonstar felt helpless and concern about him. "Don't worry, I will be fine. Kai, take care of the elves while Moonstar, go to the villages and take care my kids and the riders. " They nodded. Ryder snapped his finger and he was gone. The elves were reverted back to normal and went back to their house as Kai ordered them to do it while Moonstar flew towards the village.

Ryder appeared to be on the seaside, encountering a few people carrying a black colour cage with a lady fainted inside. "Give me back, my milady. " The people just snickered at him and turned into colourful ash leaving the cage behind. Those people were just replica, a fake statue which created by Shadow's magic. Ryder rushed towards the lady and took a look at her. He could feel her magic were weakened and he was feeling strange about it. He looked at the sky and saw a full moon hanging on it. Then, it clicked. "No wonder, you could not defeat those stupid puppets... " Ryder muttered. He stood and took a look around him.

"Come on Shadow, I know you are here... Stop being mysterious. " Ryder took off his mask and said. Suddenly, a guy mysteriously appeared in front of his eyes. He was the same age as Ryder despite his appearance, he was more dangerous than his look. What Ryder hated him the most was his large fake smile. His whole body was burning with colourful fire as if there was a rainbow in his body.

But rainbow was an unfortunate meaning to Ryder especially when this Shadow came along.

"Hello Ryder... "
