Random Tolkien drabble - Eavesdropping (Smaug)
Inspired by a conversation with ![[personal profile]](https://s.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
elena_tiriel about what attracted Smaug to Erebor.
Eavesdropping
Smaug glides across the night sky, invisible against the clouds. Words drift up from around the pinprick of a campfire far below.
"—done well for themselves."
"Aye. Rich veins and deep and wide. And easy trade: the Men are friendlier than here in the east."
"They say children uses rubies for marbles and have skipping ropes twisted from gold...."
A laugh. "Not quite, lad. But you'll see soon enough. And the Arkenstone... aye, that is a wonder."
Smaug lets the wind carry him away. So the crebain spoke true! Now this unwary band will lead him to the fabled hoard....
