Chapter Nine

Spot walked alongside his mother, the twerp, and Chomp with a big smile on his face. Unfortunately, not everybody liked his smile as much as his mother did. He’d asked the twerp about it, and she said it was because dragons had lots of very big, very sharp teeth. Apparently, that scared people. Spot huffed. Scared of some teeth? People were weird. Showing plenty of teeth was the only proper way to smile. How else was he supposed to show people he was strong and healthy without showing off his teeth? Never mind. There must be something wrong with them. They must be jealous of how awesome dragons were. His mother had said that, so it must be true.

The twerp had come along after the idiot had asked her to keep an eye on them. Spot couldn’t understand why the idiot was worried. If they ran into any trouble, they could easily fight their way out of it. He and Chomp were pretty tough, and his mother was even tougher. Anyone who started trouble was going to regret it. Maybe the idiot was sending the twerp along, so they could watch her while he talked to the king about stuff. The twerp wasn’t weak despite being small. If anyone needed watching, it was the paper pusher. But he was with the people eater, so he should be fine. It was also nice having the twerp around. She didn’t mind when he asked questions, and she was good at explaining things in ways he could understand. It was a pity Rembrandt had to come along too. The rat could be kind of mean sometimes, and he didn’t like explosions as much as the demolition rats. At least Bramante and some of the demolition rats had come too. They always had the best ideas even if they didn’t always get the chance to use them.

What’s that? Spot pointed one claw at a hole in the ceiling high above them.

The twerp squinted. Oh, right. Her eyes weren’t very good, which was why she had to wear glasses. Spot didn’t need glasses. He could see better than anyone except his mother. “That’s a ventilation duct. You see we’re deep inside the mountain, so it’s hard to get fresh air. If you aren’t careful you can suffocate.” Spot nodded. That seemed like a good idea. Back home, he’d explored some of the caves with Sam where the air was very still and smelled funny. The horror had told him to be careful since unlike most creatures, Sam and his kind didn’t need to breathe whereas Spot did. “So what the dwarves do is make tunnels for air to flow through. It’s quite ingenious. They use a combination of artifice and magic to bring new air in from outside while moving old air outside. That way, there’s plenty of fresh air, and the inside of the mountain is more comfortable to live in.”

Do they only have one? Spot didn’t think it would be good to have only one.
