"The dragon's library has to be near here. Follow me." Flucky was still transfixed by the globes, and stood unmoving. "Who could have ever made such a clever device?" he asked uncharacteristically slowly. "I've...I've never seen anything like this. Thereusedto bewell- founded legendscirculatingthroughout Verbotenthatthe dwarvesofyore builtthisgreatundergroundcity. But...these..." he gestured at the globes, "...are artifactsbeyond worldlytreasure..." "Indeed, who could have crafted such items? That, my dear cousin, is one of the mysteries I wish to solve," Chucky replied, grabbing Flucky by the collar and dragging him away from the living works of art."WhatIwouldn't givetotake justoneglobeapart andseewhat makesittick!" Flucky pined, still hypnotized by their sheer inspirational beauty, not to mention their amazing functionality. "And I would punch you square in the jaw if you even attempted to do such a foolhardy thing!" Chucky warned, a clenched fist in his cousin's face. "You mechanists are all the same! Come now! Time is of the essence!"Lucky took a moment to study his new surroundings. It was cold. Bone-chilling cold. Snowflakes whirled all around him, obscuring his sight. The relentless bitter wind that stung his face, combined with the snow, made it impossible to see but a few yards ahead. What had gone wrong!? You little twit! a childish voice echoed through his mind, chilling his bones like no earthly wind could. You little rat! Did I say you could play in my game!? NO! I think you need a time-out! Maybe I'll thaw you out in a few centuries and have some fun with you then, but right now I'm busy! You shouldn't have meddled in my affairs, little man! Have fun! "You little devil!" Lucky yelled, his voice sounding mute as the wind carried his words away into nothingness. "You haven't heard the last of me! It'll take more than this to destroy Lucky! How do you think I got my name!?"
