27 The Story Ends as It Began

27. THE STORY ENDS AS IT BEGAN... This story, you see, began with Hiccup being ambushed by his mother, Valhallarama. And that is also how it ends. Nobody can track a Deadly Shadow dragon. Nobody except for… Valhallarama. Nobody can see one, so beautifully camouflaged are they… But Valhallarama, that indomitable breath-holding action woman, flew so high, to such airy pinnacles of thinning cloud, that she was looking down at them, not up, and she saw, not the Deadly Shadow, but the three little humans clinging to the back of nothing. The three friends did not see her coming. The Deadly Shadow's senses were dulled slightly, perhaps by the exhilaration of the moment, and the fact that it was not expecting danger. Deadly Shadows do not expect to be attacked, because something so scary very rarely is. Perhaps Arrogance caught a shining silver streak of movement, screaming just above his eye- level that caused him to stiffen and look up. But it was too late.

27. 故事的结局和开头一样…… 你看，这个故事开始于Hiccup被他的母亲Valhallarama伏击。 这也是它结束的方式。 没人能追踪死影龙。 除了…Valhallarama。 但是瓦尔哈拉罗摩，这位不屈不挠、屏住呼吸的动作女人，飞得那么高，飞到稀薄的云顶，她往下看，而不是往上看，她看到的不是死亡之影，而是三个紧紧抓住虚无之物的小人。 三个朋友没有看见她来了。 死亡之影的感觉有些迟钝，也许是由于此刻的兴奋，以及它没有预料到危险的事实。 死亡之影不希望被攻击，因为如此可怕的东西很少被攻击。 也许是“傲慢”抓住了一道闪光的银色闪光，在他的视线上方尖叫着，使他僵住了，抬起头来。 但为时已晚。

Valhallarama and the Silver Phantom, hiding high in a cloud-bank, swooped down in a rocketing silver howl, like a bright avenging Fury, the unstoppable, relentless, screaming hand of Fate. Valhallarama's metal arm reached out and she plucked her son from the back of the camouflaged Deadly Shadow with the casual ease that she had plucked him, two weeks before, from the back of the Windwalker. The Silver Phantom rocketed on towards Darkheart, unstoppable, uncatchable, for in open skies the Silver Phantom was the fastest riding-dragon in the entire world. Guiding the Phantom with her knees alone, she held Hiccup with one hand, and with the other she took the Dragon Jewel on its necklace from around Hiccup's neck, and placed it around her own. Hiccup, swinging from his mother's stern unyielding arm, was as shocked as if he had been dunked suddenly in a tub of ice-cold water. And once he had got over that, he was angry. Oh, by Loki's little lunatic leg-warmers, he was angry. 'What are you DOING?' Hiccup roared up at that unforgiving metal mask looming over him, looking sternly, unwaveringly down at her target of Darkheart.

瓦尔哈拉拉马和银色魅影，躲在云崖的高处，像火箭一样发出银色的嚎叫，像一个明亮的复仇之怒，不可阻挡的，无情的，命运的尖叫之手。 瓦尔哈拉拉马伸出金属手臂，把儿子从伪装的死亡之影后面拽了出来，就像两周前她从风行者后面拽儿子一样轻松自如。 银色幽灵向黑暗之心飞驰而去，势不可挡，无人能追，因为在开阔的天空中，银色幽灵是全世界最快的骑龙。 她独自用膝盖引导着幽灵，一只手抓住嗝嗝，另一只手从嗝嗝脖子上摘下项链上的龙珠，戴在自己的脖子上。 小嗝嗝在妈妈严厉而倔强的臂膀上荡来荡去，吓得就像突然被泡在一盆冰水里一样。 一旦他克服了这一点，他就生气了。 靠洛基那疯狂的暖腿器，他生气了。 “你在干什么？”小嗝嗝怒吼着看着眼前那个无情的金属面具，严厉地、毫不动摇地俯视着她的目标——黑心。

'I am not a child any more, how dare you treat me like this? 'I mean I don't expect you to be HELPFUL or anything, why would I expect that? You've never BEEN THERE! Years and years of leaving my father and me on our own, YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS! Not always answering my letters… Going away even when I beg you not to… Not listening when I speak…' Purple in the face, kicking out with his legs, Hiccup yelled, 'I've got used to that over the years!

“我不再是孩子了，你怎么敢这样对待我？” “我的意思是，我不指望你帮什么忙，我为什么要指望你呢？” 你从来没去过那儿！年复一年地离开我和父亲独自生活，年复一年！小嗝嗝把脸打紫了，用腿踢了出去，喊道，“这些年来我已经习惯了！

I've had to get used to it! But the one thing I don't expect,' bellowed Hiccup, 'the one thing I don't expect, is for you to actually BETRAY me… Is that really too much to ask?' And there was a great deal more where that came from, for when fourteen years of frustrated fury comes out, it tends to come out in a rush. But Valhallarama did not answer. She carried on, regardless, grim, unyielding. They blasted through the sky in a blinding silver rush of Hiccup's boiling anger and Valhallarama's righteous determination. Nothing was going to stop her. She was taking Hiccup back, back, back to face the music in the Prison of Darkheart.

我已经习惯了！“但是有一件事我不希望，”小嗝嗝吼道，“我不希望你真的背叛我……这个要求真的过分吗？”而且还有更多的原因，因为当十四年的沮丧愤怒爆发时，它往往会很快爆发。 但是瓦尔哈拉拉马没有回答。 她不顾一切，冷酷无情，不屈不挠。 小嗝嗝沸腾的怒火和瓦尔哈拉拉马正义的决心，在天空中迸发出耀眼的银光。 没有什么能阻止她。 她带着小嗝嗝回去，回去，回去面对黑暗之心监狱里的音乐。
