The Mystery of the Dragon Riders

Chapter 9

Hello Ryder...

The person who said his first words towards Ryder, burned in colourful fire with eyes hunger of magic. He carried a friendly fake smile on his face as if he was some sort of angel. That kind of effect worked on strangers though, especially when he wore a white greek tunic. Only Ryder and his lady truly know his intentions and his level of magic. Surprise...

Sheesh, Shadow... You know I hate surprises... When did you come here? Ryder said as he drew out his sword from the belt with a fake smile. The Shadow was aware of Ryder's doing but he did nothing instead he was pouting like a baby.

You know that name was not suit me anymore. It was way too villain for me. Shadow said as he rubbed his fingers.

Well I think your new name is too rat for me. Ryder rolled his eyes, swinging his sword in disgust. Lord Tyrone...

I have to pick a nicer name for the people to worship, right? Tyrone said. Ryder just ignored his sentence thinking he didn't really need to think twice to kill Tyrone. Obviously, the brother he knew before was gone in ruins. You see Ryder knew Tyrone or Shadow five years ago too, in fact, Ryder and Tyrone were best friends. But everything changed after that and Ryder was still flodded himself in the sea of guilt.

You should just give me the girl. I don't want to hurt you guys especially both of you are my most precious family. Tyrone said as he took out his right hand to show his gratitude. Ryder just raised his eyebrow, folding his arms despised Tyrone's altitude. She is not just the girl, she is my lady, my life. And I'm not going to give her to anyone especially you. And correction, we are never your family. Ryder stated. He glared daggers at Tyrone as he put his hand on top of the cage warning Tyrone not to do something stupid.

Don't be so hasty about it. After all, I still need to thank you for accepting me and letting me learn the magic. Tyrone said as he threw his hands onto the air. That was my worst mistake. Hiccup closed his eyes, clenching his fist recalling back the memories between them. The next thing he knew, the cage twisting and stretching until it became a long rough rope swirling around the lady's hand and tied her up to Ryder's dismay. The lady was pulled up to the sky with a huge dragon in colours up there. Ryder took a deep breathe to recompose himself.

I see, your magic is improved again, impressive... Ryder muttered as he could feel his heart drop seeing his lady tying up there. He had to wrap this up fast before she 'awake', otherwise it might be a problem for everyone. Ryder narrowed his eyes, glared darkly at him, revealing a black fire in his palm. A book was floating in it. Then, it flipped the pages itself as if an invisible person was flipping the pages. It flipped and flipped until a picture was revealed. It was a picture of dragon horn.

Then, Ryder channeled all his power to his eyes as it unleashed an amount of sound frequency to all the range of the island. The next thing they knew, a sudden earthquake appeared under their feet and the environment turned dark. A bewilderebeast appeared in front of their eyes as they turned around, leaving a large shadow onto the ground. The bewilderebeast was staring at the colour dragons warning it not to hurt the chieftess as it blow a huff of snow towards its face.

Wow, a bewilderebeast...You have trained some dragons as well. Tyrone said as his head jerked a bit for a better angle looking.

Leave.

Well, I will leave when I get my prize. I already in love with her during the first time I met her. Beside, I know how to break her chain of curse and you don't. Don't worry, I will take care of her.

Hearing this was making him boiling with fury, the fire blazing around the scars near his eye is getting obvious and ferocious. No matter what, he was not giving her up. Curse or not. He rather in curse together with her than letting her married this creep. Over my dead rotting corpse in Hell.

Two black fire blazing wings emerged on his back giving him a huge thrust and backward momentum as he flew up. He put his hand in front of the bewilderebeast as his gaze landed on his milady. She was still in deep sleep to his relief. He reached out his bare hands to cut it and it worked. His milady dropped onto his embrace. Ryder tucked her hair behind, caressing her smooth face as if she was a doll. As he carried on, the rest of the alpha species dragons had turned up as well. So as Tyrone floating in front of him.

~~~~~~~~~

Stoick was stunned when he saw the scene. His eyes blinked furiously as his legs and hands shivered vigorously. Looking at the dragons with two persons floating in front of it was so majestic as if chief himself could not have courage to bear it. That was the first time, he truly feel that he was so little compared to the scene in front of him. He saw Thuggary and the gang standing there and he ran towards them.

What's going on around here, right hand chief? Stoick asked. There was a million questions wandering in his brain but he only had the energy to ask one question.

The chieftess is awakening. Camicazi said as the storm came out of nowhere. It was strange for Stoick and the vikings because a minute ago, it was still a vibrant sunny day and now a grey cloud engulfed the whole island.

Meaning?

Just shut up and watch!

You will regret it if you miss it.

Stoick didn't say anything already he looked up the sky again. Suddenly, the lady was glowing with white light to Ryder and Tyrone's dismay. The white flared was emerged from the lady as it shooted up above the stormy grey clouds.

Oh well, I guess the lady has awaken from her deep slumber. I will let you take care of her first. See ya next time, Hiccup. As soon Tyrone finishing his annoyingly speech, he vanished with the dragons in a speed of light. Ryder was freaking out right now, seeing Tyrone escaped just like was not making him feeling ease either. This process should be undergo in the room, not outdoor!!! He could see the white flare was building a barrier around the island trying to sink the whole island into the bottom of the sea. He didn't have the choice but to suppress himself, forcing himself to release a huge fiery black fire. He furrowed his eyebrow, bit his lips until a trail of blood was flowed out from his mouth. Luckily, the fire was managed to blend with the white flare perfectly and its stopped its motion and faded away. Suddenly, a bright sun appeared again as if nothing happened a second ago.

Ryder took a rapid breathe as he signalled the dragons to go and rest. His sight fell onto his milady as he gasped for breathe. His muscle was moving up and down , his heart was beating, his body was sweating and finally he ran out of energy as a night fury was separated from Ryder. Ryder took one last look at Toothless and let the fatigue consumed him. He fell asleep. Just a few minutes of nap..

He closed his eyes, holding his milady tightly, and fell.

Night fury was astonished when he saw Ryder fell thousand feet from the ground. Toothless wrapped his wings up and swoosh downward, scooped them up to protect them from the impact. The moment they fell down, a sound of boom was heard, ten miles from Stoick and the gang.

Thuggory and the gang was afraid of the chief's condition and rushed to the scene followed by Stoick and the vikings. When they reached the scene, Toothless opened his wings and revealed the chief and chieftess. The chief came to his consciousness and awake. Thanks bud, I need that. Thuggory came to help Ryder get into his feet but Ryder just turned him down. Stoick wanted to see his face as the mask which the chief put on was split into half and fell. The vikings took a closer look as they were curious as well. The moment Ryder get up to his feet, it was a clearer look for Stoick. And maybe too clear.

Hiccup?!!!!
