They returned almost at 3am. They had hardly slept, but for them it was a small price to pay to get rid of the surveillance.
They arrived at the office and everything was out of control. The fairies gazed in wonder at the giant screen in the hall and the others at the buffet. They feigned ignorance and showed amazement at what they saw while asking their companions.
Brad approached Hibbert to ask what kind of movie they were showing. She stared at him and replied that it was the morning news. Creatures that were considered myths had been shown in Moscow, Los Angeles and Dubai. The panic was general because they did not know what was happening.
Karen Dreyfus recounted to reporters her incredible experience riding a thunderbird that controlled the weather at the request of her rider. She was so excited that she could barely speak.
The riders told him that they were Stars Riders and they came looking for carnivorous creatures called charix to eliminate them and that next year the whole north will tremble for the appearance of them at the end of April. Their mission was to monitor cracks at the request of the guardian and when they felt something strange, they showed up but their birds decided to play with people.
The same situation occurred in Los Angeles, at the avant premiere of "Hanzel and Gretel: Underworld", when a star rider arrived riding a Jabberwocky and in Dubai, near the presentation party of a new car model, where another was driving to a wyvern. Madness broke out and the newspapers exploded with headlines such as "A walk with the stars" "Flying high" "Storm Bird" among others.
Brad and Maler laughed at their nerves and shook their heads in denial of their reality.
- Did that really happen yesterday? -
-Shit, why is this happening right now-
-Gary, let's go back to the embassy. Call from Houston is urgent- Hibbert was not in the mood
-Hey, how are you leaving? Who is going to take us home later? -
-Brat I already told you that we are not your drivers and less your ATM. Do not think that for once we help you you can abuse us- Maler turned and went after Hibbert
Brad's goal was to disturb as much as possible, on Sunday he had looked for Hibbert's car in the parking lot and asked her to take him to the ice cream and pastry shop. Not content with annoying them, he made them pay for everything as punishment for keeping an eye on them.
He asked Angus and company.
-Then I'm counting on you? -Wiggling his tail he waited for an answer
-Lose yourself child, as the rabbit said, we are not your servants- Niki looked furious
Olya took one last look at Brad with a mocking laugh as he was already known as a miserly stingy.
-And you if you are available? -
The Germans did not even reply and withdrew. Brad threw a tantrum and went to the office.
-Did you see that! Hahaha I can't stop laughing-
-Rusty, enough! Now we have to plan the next show. Let's thank Ms. Dreyfus for participating backstage and helping spread Shel's message.- Leen settled into the chair.
-Break news, foreigners left the building but it is not a guarantee of peace- Brad opened the door
-It was about time, I was getting tired. Come here and hug me, I'm still cold from yesterday- Sonia crossed her legs looking at the screen on the wall.
They managed to confuse and distract everyone, now they only had to rest and plan more shows.
**
The Russians were holding a teleconference with the headquarters in St. Petersburg, which was getting thick.
-Was there such a thing with stars riders? Damn! Those guys know about the charix, they announced it to the world with an estimated date and everything-
-We have already taken Karen Dreyfus and Michel Fargas into custody in the Kremlin. They will come to interrogate them today-
-What escaped us? We have no idea who they are or how the hell they got those creatures. The central speculates that perhaps they are the warriors chosen by the oracle that Mrs. Vorychenko mentioned, but there is no certainty-
-What about the Foxes? Could you found anything?
-Nothing relevant. After inquiring, the answers were the same, there was no question. Russell Fox has no idea who Sheldon Vorychenko really is or what power he wields. He thinks he's just a bum and a thief. He mentioned that he regularly went to The Old Red Lion, a pub in England but rarely went there after graduation-
-We have already sent agents to Kennington to investigate the pub and not only that, he also affirmed that the thesis that he presented on the collection was due to having lost a bet against him. He was forced to study the books with other students who were well versed in the subject and who he did not know since Sheldon brought them and took them away later-
-Maybe it's the Stars Riders. Find out the names on the Tigris student list and investigate each one.
The situation went from bad to worse for them and for the other agencies. A new character was added to the list of priorities that ended up ruining his plans.

At the Trudy mansion. Victorius received the notification from the dragon council to meet in mid-September. He almost gave her a fit when he read that he was put on multiple combat trial for abusing his power as patriarch and for letting his family incite infanticide among dragons.
In addition, Zedonia sent him a letter where she annulled Yona's arranged marriage with her great-grandson Denis and if he wished to continue, they would have to apologize and settle for being a concubine since Sarah Palomino would be his main wife. She said that they were lunatics who abandoned children to their fate without protection or security.
Letter that he received were annulments or charges against him. He did not understand why he failed, nor why he was accused of such aberrations. The only thing that occurred to him about the abuse accusations was that it could be because of Brad or Maggie but the attempted infanticide and homicide exceeded his expectation. Laura was angry, her plan was discovered and she did not want to seem so obvious in front of her husband.
Fanny, on the other hand, knew that something was wrong since her grandchildren were changed section. They went straight to Laura without going through her grandfather's office and came out angrier than at first. Her suspicion grew when she ran into Brad and his wife at a shopping mall. He protected Sonia and warned her furiously that she did not dare to speak to him, they turned and left.
Deep down she knew that Laura was responsible and she soon warned her husband about the doubt that she was gnawing at her.
-You must get the truth out of her, he was furious and if his wife had not intervened, perhaps I would be in the hospital today.-
-If she did what you are saying...she end up condemning this family. I wouldn't even think of such a thing, so I left the child in the care of the maids. I preferred that and that he died in the hands of others than in mine-
-In the end her curse was fulfilled. I feel that she knew that he would be a powerful dragon, for something she said that the child would be the greatest misfortune for Trudy, not as shame but as the destroyer of this family and that Kurt would regret what he put him through-
-If I had known that this would happen, I would have sent him to boarding school in Greece. Call Laura, now she's going to have to open her mouth and say what the fuck she did if she wants to keep her place-
Rage filled Victorius's head as he learned that even his grandchildren were involved. Not even hitting them did he get rid of the frustration and he had to urgently call Kurt who was working in Greece to attend the trial.
He had no turning back, he would be judged and he would have to win somehow since if he lost, he had to leave the position of leader to Kurt as the last successor and his grandchildren would not have the right to continue the clan. His already married granddaughters would be reduced to concubines and the others would have to be adopted by another family to end the Trudy name once and for all.
