12-第十章：谁才是王？(20)
‘Hiccup may have acquired the Things in the first place, but FATE has decreed that ALVIN should be the King for excellent reasons. Look out there at our beautiful world, burnt to a crisp!’ The Witch pointed a knobbly finger at the
burning Archipelago. ‘The dragons are determined to wipe us out, and only Alvin has the courage to use the secret of the Jewel to defeat them. This boy is weak… he would try to bargain with the Dragon Furious…’ ‘The Dragon Furious is not a monster!’ shouted Hiccup. ‘Maybe I could win him round! And even if all ends in failure, is it not worth even trying to save the dragons that we love?’ The Druid Guardian turned to the waiting, watching crowds. ‘What say you, peoples of the Archipelago?’ Barbara the Barbarian answered for so many of the humans gathered there. ‘Once we would have followed you, Hiccup,’ she said. ‘In Prison Darkheart, many of us made that pledge, and later I took the Dragonmark along with many others. I hoped by your deeds, your Quests that I had heard of, that you would be the Boy of Destiny who would take us all into a new and glorious era…
‘But nearly another year of War has passed since then. We have lost everything. The dragons have killed our loved ones, destroyed our homes, uprooted whole mountains,’ said Barbara. ‘They will not stop until we are all dead. And even though I am a Viking… I confess, I am afraid.’
