There it was the mounting. It stood and watched Fili like a lion. He didn't like it. Slyly he threw a nervous glance at his brother, just to catch Kili's piercing stare. He was nervous too. Fili steered his pony over towards his brother.

"Come on Kili," he joked "man up!" Fili gave his brother a slap on the back, but Kili just shrugged it off halfheartedly.

"Hey, it isn't that bad," Fili continued "I bet the whole place is swarming with goblins," it was a stupid thing to say. Even Kili knew that goblins and dragons didn't get along.

"Hey look there's one now!" Fili yelped pointing into a general direction. The word worked like a trigger

"WHERE?" Kili yelled drawing his sword, but Fili was already cringed over laughing. Kili stuck out his jay and muttered at his brother

"That was not funny," but it was no use, the rest of the dwarves wore smirks on their faces for the rest of the day.
