Spike (Coldeye)

== (Intro to spike) ==
The door unlocked without a sound, skilled talons easing it open with the speed of long practice. Heatwave slithered inside, leaving Spike to stop the door from shutting loudly.
Spike shot him a dirty look, to which his brother just shrugged. They both pushed themselves up against the granite walls, shot through with smoky quartz. This mark was clearly rich enough to have it dug up from the mountains. 
Whispers of an immeasurable treasure had reached Spike's ears from his usual sources, whispers of a SkyWing noble with security stronger than his queen's. After confirming the rumors, Heatwave had taken point on the heist, claiming that his little brother would only foul it up.
Spike hadn't quite forgiven him for that yet.
Lost in thoughts of revenge on his sibling, he didn't see the loose tile until he was almost on top of it. Swerving to the side so as not to make a noise, he overbalanced and fell, landing squarely on his tail.
"Oh, s**t!"
The curse escaped his lips quite unbidden, his foul mouth overriding his common sense yet again. His brother scowled, pushing him up against the wall as a guard appeared at the end of the hallway.
"Who's there?"
Neither brother made a sound. After a few moments, the guard shook his head, slamming the heavy door at the end of the hallway shut.
"Lucky I didn't step on the tile, else he wouldn't have missed us," Spike hissed.
Heatwave rolled his eyes. "Lucky you have me for a brother. Now let's get on with it."
