第三十章：黑心监狱之战(15)
Toothless and the Wodensfang and the Deadly Shadow rose up to the battlements, arrows pouring upward after them… and… ‘GOT IT!’ shrieked Alvin, catching the Jewel in his other hand. So after all that searching, all that drama, all the gazillions of words of this Quest, let’s face it, the Jewel ended up in Alvin’s horrible hooky hands after all. Annoying, huh? Just one second, one false move on the part of the Hero, one lapse of concentration, that’s all it takes, for everything to fall apart. ‘NOOOOOO!!!’ shouted Hiccup. It was a scary sight to see the witch’s face, as she saw the warm golden splendour of the Dragon Jewel dropping into the hook of her darling boy at last.
The witch Excellinor let out a high, exultant cackle, and there, in the middle of the death and destruction of that battle she spread wide her bat-wing arms in jubilant conquest. ‘I knew my predictions could not be wrong!’ screamed the witch. ‘I knew I had to be this brilliant for a reason! Thank you, O powers of death and darkness in whom I put my trust! Thank you, O fortunes most foul and most glorious! See!’ she screeched, shaking her bony fist up at the heavens, ‘see how we triumph! ‘Let me see it, Alvin, my darling, let me have it.’ It was piteous to see the fragile amber beauty of that Jewel, glowing from within as if it were fire, cradled in the vile crooked hands of that fiend the witch.
