‘I know darling, I know,’ hissed his mother through gritted teeth. ‘But you should have cheated BETTER…’ The Druid Guardian held up his hand. ‘SILENCE! HE IS NOT THE KING YET! THE KING NEEDS TO TAKE HIS VOWS FIRST, BEFORE HE CAN BE THE KING!’ Trying to look like a King despite the ridiculously swollen right half of his body, Hiccup limped up on to the broken dais, his tattered fire-suit flapping in the wind. One by one, the Druid Guardian handed Hiccup the ten Lost Things of Grimbeard the Ghastly. ‘Hold up your hand, Hiccup,’ he said. ‘Will you swear to be the King forever? Will you swear to lay down your life for your people? Will you swear to rule absolutely, but with fairness, and justice, and mindful of the independence of your subjects?’ Hiccup looked out over the massed and silent crowds.
