12-第二十一章:巫婆干预命运(3)
在那条顺从的隐形龙的影子旁只剩他们两个了,那条龙正在耐心地等待着指令。

The evil one in question, was, of course, the Witch. She had seen Hiccup throw the Jewel. She had seen the Dragon Furious hesitate. She had known that the horrible little rat would be talking, Thor rot him. She had watched it all, and she had the sense that everything she had lived for, everything she had worked for, everything she had killed for, was slipping through her bony fingers, and she could no longer bear it. Twenty years trapped in a tree trunk, slowly growing white as a slug, quietly going mad in that darkness, gnawing on rats’ bones, licking the bark for moisture, as she laid her plans like spiders’ webs and looked back into the past searching for signs and
