Chapter 27: Every Dragon
The black dragon came back over the river, low, with fire in his throat.
He was coming for the wall again.
The singers were standing under it.
"Alys," Dorrit said. "Alys, what do we do?"
I thought of a room with forty benches.
The cook's daughter is the best of them.
Better than I am.
"We stop taking turns," I said.
I climbed the Moot stone.
It was iced and old, and I tore a nail on it, and then I was on top.
"Everybody who knows the pot song!" I shouted. "Everybody! Sing it with me! Sing it all together, and sing every name you know over it!"
Our cook didn't.
He climbed up onto the base of the stone with his pie dish and roared the first line out like a goat.
The smith's wife came in under him with her goose voice.
The shepherd brothers came in together, in harmony, the way they had on the wall in the pass.
Dorrit stood at the foot of the stone with her chin up and sang it flat, then true.
The four from the quarry sang it, and the youngest's mother hummed it beside him.
