Fire And Gold

chapter 4

the smell of fire, blood, cooking meat and death fills my nostrils.

"I couldn't I wouldn't I never why whyI'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm so sorry. "

I curled my massive body in the cave i took residence in last night. The cave entrance now fills with the first rays of light.

"What the fuck is wrong with me. Why did I do that why did... Oh God." A wave of nausea caught me, but i managed to swallow it. Barley

I don't know what happened or what came over me all i know it's that after it was all said and done I was brought back to my sense feeling disoriented and strange.

"What's happening to me."

I ask myself, hoping for something answer me. None came I don't know how long I stayed curled up. If I was still human I probably have tears running down my face with snot coming from my nose. How fucked up is that to a person. The all powerful smaug the king under the mount, Smaug the Magnificent the terrible smuag the golden. Crying like a child.

Well what do you expect. Until a week ago I was a human, not some fictional character from a book with a serious gold addiction... Wait.

Gold

"They are drawn to treasure like flies to dead flesh".

"It was the gold. The gold!"

Uncurling my body i moved out of the cave the smell of smoke assaulted my senses. It wasn't long before I actually saw flames of the remains. I look around and I frantically look around until I see the cause of all this.

A chest of gold coins jewels was open in all it's glory. The early sun making it all the more alluring.

"No no. Must not look."

"What is this. Is this gold sickness is this the hell thorin had to deal with in the movies. This greed this craving it's impossible to ignore." I look at the devastation I caused the dead or what remains of Thier ashes. The guilt is powerful enough to break me out of my trance.

With a loud roar I unleashed a stream of fire at the chest. Every sense screaming no in response.

The gold and everything melts until it evaporates into nothing and the jewels break into pieces.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't stop myself. I hope you can forgive me. Please forgive me." I say as I look at the ashes of the unfortunate souls i cut their life short.

Something creep up on my senses. The same feeling I had before. A glint caught my massive eyes again. This time from the remains of the ship.

I lost control again as my sense screaming at me to go go and see what it was. Using my massive jaws I bite the sip in half and what comes out of the bowls cause me to lose myself. I wanted to dive into it and just roll in the piles of gold, and then never leave it again. My entire body was vibrating with the effort of resisting the urge to collect even more.

I can't control myself anymore. Grabbing the ship with the pills of gold spilling out I bring it to my cave and going back until every single piece of it is on the ground of my cave. I leapt into the gold. I ran and rolled across the surface of the gold trying to take in every little detail of the treasure. I forgot everything in the world and what I have just done while I was in the gold. I never want to part with it. It's mine all mine...

"No I'm not Smaug. I can't."

"Oh but you can."

" Who said that who's there."
