The Lionheart (The Hobbit)

Chapter 7: Troll cave

Tygr POV

We followed Gandalf down the road, trying to find the trolls cave. Though Gandalf could not seem to locate it. However from a whiles away I could already smell the stench of a troll cave. I gagged and covered my nose. "Something the matter lass?" Balin asked. "It smells terrible!" I groaned before pointing in the direction of the stench. Kili sniffed the air, "I don't smell anything." He said shrugging. Gandalf followed my direction while i spoke to Kili. I shot a glance at him, "lucky for you you don't have my smell senses." I growled before going to the back of the group with Bilbo. "Hello Mr. Baggins~" I said nicely. "Hello, you alright?" He asked. I nodded then surprised he started to smell it too, as did the rest of the dwarves. "Oh...yep...I smell it now." I heard Kili said. I stifled a laugh as we entered the cave.

I stood as close to the exit as possible, feeling light headed from the disgusting stench.

I glanced back and laughed at the dwarves trying to dig a hold, I sighed and formed into a small wolf and pushed my way through, starting to dig. I felt Dwalin pet my back, "I guess her alright lassie." He said before laughing and walking away from the scene wanting nothing to do with it. I finished digging the hole and formed back into a human. The smell no longer bothered me since I got used to it. My ear twitched as Thorin's voice caught my attention. I walked over and looked at what he was tinkering with. "These swords were not made by any troll." He said, I nodded in agreement. "They sort of look elvish..." I muttered getting a closer look at the case it was in. "They are," Gandalf said. I watched Thorin's face turn to one of disgust. "You could not wish for a finer blade!" Gandalf said. Thorin then harshly grabbed the sword and pulled it out, looking at the blade. "It's beautiful." I said, earning a glare from the king. "Don't look at me like that, I'm aloud to state my opinion." I snapped with a slight laugh before turning and smacking him with my tail playfully. I saw a small smile begin to form before it was wiped away. "Let's get out of this foul place. Come on, let's go. Bofur! Gloin! Nori!" Thorin said. I looked and saw them burring the gold while Dwalin looked on in disgust. I giggled and followed Thorin out of the cave. I instantly smelled something coming our way. "Thorin something's coming!" I said quickly. Suddenly I was pushed behind the dwarves and hidden. I frowned and formed into a wolf jumping over than baring my teeth at what was coming besides Thorin. "Thieves! Fire! Murder!" Someone shouted as they rammed through the bushes on a sleigh pulled by...rabbits? I cocked my head in confusion. I sniffed the rabbit then looked at the man.
"Radagast! Radagast the Brown. Ah. What on earth are you doing here?" Gandalf asked happily. "I was looking for you, Gandalf. Something's wrong. Something's terribly wrong." Radagast said. I formed back into a human and sat petting the rabbits. "Yes?" Gandalf asked. I glanced at the wizard and saw his had lost his thought. "Oh, just give me a minute. Um, oh, I had a thought, and now I've lost it. It was, it was right there, on the tip of my tongue." Suddenly I saw something come out of his mouth...a stick bug. "Eww..." I whispered before standing and going by Kili and Fili. I watched Gandalf and Radagast go off and speak privately. I squeaked as I felt someone pull my tail, I blushed around ready to rip some Dwarvish heads off. "Dong touch my tail! For the last tim!" My eyes softened as they left me alone, just as when Gandalf came back. "Hey, Ganda-" I heard Ori start to say but get cut off. "We need to leave." Gandalf said quickly.
