12 Bear-Mama

12. BEAR-MAMA Meanwhile the Deadly Shadow slunk through the door of the dungeon that Camicazi had left open. You couldn't see it of course. But the Sniff! Sniff! Sniff!-ing noise went snuffling across the floor like the sludgy trail of an invisible snail, and a light wind blew through the centre of the dungeon. The Deadly Shadow's talons were already out. Its broken heart was pure steel. The Red-Rage had so clouded its invisible eyes that they had almost become visible with hatred. The snuffling stopped at Hiccup's bed. The bed was empty. The Shadow gave a surprised snort and its talons raked through the remains of straw and bedding. Nothing there either. The boy must be somewhere else! The Deadly Shadow was so steaming mad that for one moment he turned visible and you could see the actual smoke that was drifting out of all six of his ears. The Shadow silently exploded what remained of the bed, and it stalked out the door again on furious silent tiptoes. And woe betide Hiccup if the creature ever found him… Two minutes later, Hiccup and the Bog-Burglar

12. 与此同时，致命的影子从卡米卡齐开着的地牢门溜了进来。 你当然看不见。 但是嗅嗅！嗅嗅!嗅嗅!一阵嗡嗡的声音在地板上呼哧呼哧地传过去，就像一只看不见的蜗牛在泥泞中爬行一样。一阵微风从地下教室中央吹了进来。 死亡阴影的魔爪已经伸出来了。 它破碎的心是纯钢。 红色狂怒使它那看不见的眼睛蒙上了一层阴影，它们几乎因仇恨而变得清晰可见。 在小嗝嗝的床边，鼻息声停止了。 床是空的。影子惊讶地哼了一声，用爪子在秸秆和被褥的残骸中搜寻。 那里也没有。那男孩一定在别的什么地方！致命的影子是如此的疯狂，以至于有那么一瞬间，你可以看到他的六只耳朵里飘出的烟雾。 影子悄无声息地把床上剩下的东西炸开了，然后又怒气冲冲地蹑手蹑脚地走出了房门。 两分钟后，嗝嗝和沼泽飞贼相遇了

Escape Artists arrived back at the door of the dungeon. 'What has happened here?' whispered Hiccup, looking at his bed, which seemed, quite literally, to have exploded, sending a rain of straw all round it in every direction. 'Wow,' said Camicazi. 'You're a restless sleeper.' Hiccup started trying to tidy it up. 'You'd better get a move on, guys, if you want to escape with Eggingarde before morning.' So Camicazi and the Bog-Burglars were about to do their normal routine of bundling up Eggingarde in her blanket while she was still asleep, but Hiccup wouldn't let them. 'You might worry her,' said Hiccup. So Hiccup woke her up gently. 'Ssh,' said Hiccup, 'these are some friends of mine, Eggingarde, and they're going to help you to escape back to your Tribe and your mother.' Eggingarde looked at him with her big solemn eyes, and then she gave a huge, gap-toothed smile. 'Do you think I have a mother?' smiled Eggingarde.

逃生大师们回到了地牢的门口。 “这里发生了什么事？”小嗝嗝看着他的床，低声说，这张床好像真的爆炸了，麦秸雨点从四面八方撒了下来。 “哇，”卡米卡齐说。“你是个睡不着的人。”小嗝嗝开始收拾东西。 “伙计们，如果你们想在天亮之前和埃金加德一起逃走，你们最好快点。”于是，卡米卡齐和沼泽夜贼们正准备像往常一样，趁艾格加德还在睡觉的时候，把她裹在毯子里，但小嗝嗝不让他们这么做。 “你会让她担心的，”小嗝嗝说。 于是小嗝嗝轻轻地叫醒了她。 “嘘，”嗝嗝说，“这是我的一些朋友，埃金加德，他们会帮助你逃回你的部落和你的母亲那里。”埃金加德用她那严肃的大眼睛看着他，然后咧着牙咧嘴笑了笑。 “你认为我有母亲吗？”埃金加德微笑着说。

'I'm sure you do,' said Hiccup, 'and I bet she's been really missing you.' And he re-did the buttons on her bearsuit so they were in the right buttonholes, so she'd look her best for her mother. 'Camicazi?' whispered Hiccup. 'I think maybe you should deliver Eggingarde back to her Tribe, the Northern Wanderers. You'll find them up north somewhere, wandering about. Now that,' he added craftily, 'now that is going be a really dangerous mission, because you have to go through Dragon Rebellion Territory to get up there…' 'OK,' Camicazi whispered back. Hiccup looked at her suspiciously. It was unlike Camicazi to be quite so obedient. 'Bye then, Camicazi.' 'Bye,' said Camicazi, widening her big blue eyes innocently. 'Goodbye, Eggingarde,' whispered Hiccup. 'Goodbye, Hiccup,' Eggingarde whispered back. 'Goodbye, Stormfly,' said Toothless, doing three elaborate somersaults in the air to show off, nearly knocking himself out when he bumped into a pillar in the process, and then struggling to re-arrange himself in the air to look glamorous. 'Goodbye, Toothless the Outcast,' cooed the

“我相信你是这么想的，”小嗝嗝说，“我敢打赌她一定很想你。”他重新给她的熊装扣上了扣子，让它们都在正确的纽扣孔里，这样她在妈妈面前才会显得最漂亮。 “Camicazi ?嗝嗝低声说。 “我想也许你应该把艾格加德送回她的部落，北方流浪者。 你会在北边某个地方找到他们，四处游荡。 “现在，”他狡猾地补充道，“这将是一项非常危险的任务，因为你必须穿过龙族叛乱区才能上去……” 小嗝嗝怀疑地看着她。 Camicazi不像他那么听话。 “再见，卡米卡齐。“再见，”卡米卡齐说，天真地睁大了蓝色的大眼睛。 “再见，艾格加德。”嗝嗝低声说。 “再见，小嗝嗝。” “再见，暴风苍蝇。”无牙说着，他在空中精心翻了三个筋斗来炫耀自己。在这个过程中，他撞到一根柱子上，差点把自己撞倒，然后他又努力在空中重新调整姿势，让自己看起来更迷人。 “再见了，无牙弃儿。

Mood-Dragon, batting her eyelashes coquettishly at the slightly dazed Toothless as she followed Camicazi and the Bog-Burglar Escape Artists and Eggingarde tiptoeing out the room. And that was how Eggingarde made her escape from the Amber Slavelands, and from this story, back to the safe warm arms of her mother, Bear-mama, (who had indeed been missing her), back to the magical stories of her scary Wanderer grandmother, and back to the admiration of her little brother Bearcub, whom she had never met. OK, so at least Camicazi is going to be all right and out of danger for a while, thought Hiccup dozily. It'll take the Bog-Burglar Escape Artists quite a long time to locate the Northern Wanderer Tribe. 'I wonder who did this?' whispered the Wodensfang, looking at the rags and straw strewn all over the place, his ears doing that going-purpleand-indicating-danger thing. 'Wodensfang, you're paranoid,' said Hiccup, yawning. 'It's only paranoia,' whispered the Wodensfang, 'if things aren't out to get you…' But Hiccup and Toothless were already asleep.

情绪龙妖艳地朝微微发呆的“无牙”眨了眨睫毛，跟着卡米卡齐、沼泽飞贼逃生大师和埃金加德蹑手蹑脚地走出房间。 就这样，埃金加德逃出了琥珀色的奴隶地，从这个故事回到了她的母亲熊妈妈温暖的怀抱里（熊妈妈确实很想念她），回到了她可怕的漫游者祖母的神奇故事里，回到了她从未见过的弟弟熊仔的崇拜里。 好吧，至少卡米卡齐会没事，暂时脱离危险，小嗝嗝迷迷糊糊地想。 要找到北方流浪者部落的位置，沼泽窃贼逃亡艺术家要花很长时间。 “我想知道是谁干的？”沃登斯方低声说，看着满地的破布和稻草，他的耳朵发出一种发紫表示危险的声音。 “沃登斯方，你多疑了。”嗝嗝打着哈欠说。 “那只是偏执狂，”沃登獠牙低声说，“如果不是有什么东西来抓你的话……”
