12-第十七章：有时候，你要找的东西就在家乡里(9)
A fang-free dragon… Why a fang-free dragon? How did that fit into the pattern? ‘Toothless,’ said Hiccup, very calm, very stern,
‘I want you to pretend this lobster claw is a walnut. Crack it with your jaw without harming what is inside.’ A fang-free dragon has a huge advantage in cracking a walnut without breaking the precious interior. Toothless’s hard little gums were the neatest, most efficient little nutcrackers in the whole of the Archipelago. Toothless was so terrified he did not even argue. For once in his life, he obeyed without question. He reached up his little shaking neck, took the lobster claw in his fang-free jaws and bit it once, and into Hiccup’s hand there fell what had been hidden there all the time, something small and light and bright and golden, a piece of precious amber with two little dragons caught forever in the gold: one dark and one light, and each with a tail in the other one’s mouth…
The alpha and the omega.
In my end is my beginning. Past and present and future all together in an instant. Toothless and Hiccup blinked at it in amazement. Wodensfang let out a sigh of relief. Above, the Dragon Furious was on the brink of expelling his thunderbolts… But he saw what Hiccup was holding in his hand, checked himself just in time and loosed his grip. Hiccup leapt to his feet, holding the bright amber up in one shaking hand, and the Dragon gave a snort of terror as a sudden shaft of sunlight sliced through the clouds and fire above and made the piece of amber wink up at the Dragon Furious, so that he recognised what it was. The Dragon Jewel. The real one.
