22 Hero's End At The Eleventh Hour

22. HERO'S END AT THE ELEVENTH HOUR Camicazi and Fishlegs had followed the Alvinsmen to the Singing Sands of the Ferryman's Gift, invisibly tracking them on the back of the Deadly Shadow. They had hidden on the sandbanks directly above the beach, and, protected by the over-arching wings of the great camouflaged dragon, they watched this whole scene being played out from the safety of their hiding-place. They knew the significance of Hiccup's helmet being recovered by the Bullguards. Fishlegs and Camicazi did not need to hide any more. They could join up with the other Dragonmarkers now. Red-eyed, wiping his nose against his sleeve, Fishlegs was about to join the sad procession of boats crossing Hero's Gap towards the isle of Tomorrow when Camicazi stopped him. 'What on earth are you doing, Fishlegs?' she said briskly. 'Um…' said Fishlegs, hopelessly, 'I'm following the others… there's no point doing anything else, is there, now that we know Hiccup is dead.' 'The more I think about it,' said Camicazi, 'the less I think Hiccup is dead.'

22. 卡米卡齐和鱼腿跟着阿尔文人来到了摆渡人礼物的歌唱之沙，他们骑在“死亡之影”号的后面，隐形地跟踪着他们。 他们藏在海滩正上方的沙洲上，在那只巨大的伪装龙的拱形翅膀的保护下，他们在安全的藏身之处观看了这整个场面。 他们知道小嗝嗝的头盔被斗牛队找回的重要性。 鱼腿和Camicazi不需要再隐藏了。 他们现在可以和其他龙之标记会合了。 鱼腿红着眼睛，用袖子擦了擦鼻子，正要加入悲伤的船队，穿过英雄峡，驶向明日岛，这时卡米卡齐拦住了他。 “你到底在干什么，鱼腿？”她轻快地说。 “嗯……”鱼腿绝望地说，“我跟着其他人……既然我们知道小嗝嗝已经死了，做其他事情也没有意义了，是不是？”卡米卡齐说：“我越想越不觉得小嗝嗝已经死了。”

'But… but… the helmet… that was Hiccup's helmet…' protested Fishlegs. 'And they brought it up from the sea… There isn't really any other explanation.' 'Oh for Thor's sake,' said Camicazi in exasperation. 'Have you not hung around with him for long enough to know that you never give up hope until you are presented with an actual Hiccup skeleton, solemnly registered and verified by the Valkyrie Death Committee as completely authentic?' 'Yes, but…' 'We thought you were dead back there in the Slavelands, remember, and look! You turned up again large as life– or rather, skinny and asthmatic and eczema-covered as life! What would have happened if we stopped looking for you?' 'But… but… but…' spluttered Fishlegs. 'But sometimes people really ARE dead, Camicazi! And it's Doomsday Eve… We only have twenty-four hours before the King gets crowned, and Alvin has all the Things…

“可是……可是……那个头盔……那是小嗝嗝的头盔……”鱼腿抗议道。 “他们把它从海里打捞上来……没有其他的解释了。”“哦，看在上帝的份上，”卡米卡齐恼怒地说。 “难道你和他在一起的时间还不够长，还不知道你永远不会放弃希望，直到你看到一具真正的嗝嗝骨架，经过女武神死亡委员会的严肃登记和验证，证明它是完全真实的吗？”“我们以为你在奴隶地已经死了，记住，你看！”你又变大了，像生命一样——或者更确切地说，像生命一样瘦骨嶙峋，气喘吁吁，浑身是湿疹！如果我们不再找你，会发生什么？“可是……可是……可是……”鱼腿结结巴巴地说。 “可有时候人是真的死了，卡米卡齐！”现在是世界末日前夜……离国王加冕只有24小时了，而阿尔文有所有的东西……

We haven't got a hope...' 'It's a tight deadline,' admitted Camicazi. 'But then again Hiccup always works best under tight deadlines…' 'I want to believe you,' said Fishlegs longingly. 'I really, really want to believe you, but where IS he, Camicazi?' 'OH DO HURRY UP!' shouted Camicazi, already on board the Deadly Shadow. 'We'll just have to go and find him…' 'Don't you think you should at least tell your mother we're OK?' asked Fishlegs, as he climbed up after her. 'I saw Bertha among that Dragonmarker crowd… she might at least want to know you are still alive. And maybe she might not give you permission to go and look for Hiccup?' 'I think,' said Camicazi thoughtfully, 'it might be better not to ask. You're right though, it would be nice to let her know that we're alive, so she doesn't worry…' Two minutes later, Great Chief Bertha of the

我们没有希望了……卡米卡齐承认：“截止日期很紧。” “我想相信你，”鱼腿热切地说。 “我真的、真的想相信你，可是他在哪儿，卡米卡齐？”“啊，快点儿！”卡米卡齐喊道，他已经登上了死亡之影号。 “你不觉得你至少应该告诉你妈妈我们没事吗？”鱼腿跟着她爬上去，问道。 “我看见伯莎在龙碑的人群中……她也许至少想知道你还活着。” 也许她不允许你去找小嗝嗝？“我想，”卡米卡齐若有所思地说，“最好还是别问了。” 不过你说得对，最好让她知道我们还活着，这样她就不用担心了……”两分钟后，伯莎酋长说

Bog-Burglars, solemnly steering The Big Momma, looked up as a great shadow passed above her. She saw the underside of an enormous three-headed dragon, briefly turning itself visible as it sailed south in slow, graceful flaps. On the dragon's back were the two small figures of Fishlegs and Camicazi, and Bertha just caught the words of her daughter, shouted down from the back of the dragon, before the words were tossed away on the wind. 'JUST OFF TO FIND HICCUP, MOTHER… See you later… Don't worry about me! Bog-Burglars Fight forever!' 'CAMICAZI!' yelled Bertha of the Bog-Burglars.

沼泽窃贼正严肃地驾驶着“大妈妈”，当一个巨大的影子从她头顶经过时，他们抬起头来。 她看见一条巨大的三头龙的腹部，它缓慢而优雅地扇动着翅膀向南航行，短暂地露出了自己的身体。 龙的背上是鱼腿和卡米卡齐两个小小的身影，伯莎刚好听到了女儿从龙的背上喊出来的话，然后这些话就被风吹走了。 “我去找小嗝嗝了，妈妈……再见……别为我担心！”沼泽窃贼永远战斗！“CAMICAZI !沼泽窃贼的伯莎喊道。

'HICCUP IS DEAD! CAMICAZI, WHERE ON EARTH ARE YOU GOING? I'VE ONLY JUST FOUND YOU AGAIN! YOU COME RIGHT BACK DOWN THIS MINUTE OR YOU ARE IN BIG TROUBLE, YOUNG LADY! 'CAMICAAAAAAAZZZIIIIIIIIIII!' But it was too late. The beautiful three-headed Shadow Dragon had already slowly faded into invisibility, like breath into the wind.

“小嗝嗝死了！”卡米卡齐，你到底要去哪？ 我刚刚又找到你了！你马上给我下来，不然你就有大麻烦了，小姑娘！“CAMICAAAAAAAZZZIIIIIIIIIII !”但为时已晚。 美丽的三头影龙已经慢慢地消失不见了，就像气息消失在风中一样。
