第二十章:威力蓄须王的最后一曲(20)
One of the Alvinsmen generals was riding a Gorebluffer. Gorebluffers swallow large stones, which they can then use as projectiles.
The Gorebluffer swooped heavily above the little ship, just a whisper away from the Wind, and dropped three large stones the size of cupboards, right on the deck.
CRUUNNNNNNCH!
With a sickening sound of breaking wood, the little ship split in two.
One half, the half containing the Lost Things, sank instantly.
The other, with Hiccup still at the tiller, drifted on towards the Wind.
DOWN the Lost Things fell, down to the ocean floor.
‘We got them!’ shrieked the witch. ‘Dive for the Lost Things, Bullguards!’
(Do not fear for Toothless, dear reader. Even though he is inside a cage, Toothless is a dragon, so he has gills and he can breathe underwater just as easily as he can on land. And if the witch gets him – and she may – she will not hurt him, because he is the last Lost Thing. And he is the Best One.)
