6 Home Must Wait

CHAPTER Six Home Must Wait "The forbidden city of Plud," Max said. "The Ninns have taken Princess Keeah to Plud!" Eric stared at the mirror. "She seems really afraid. What are we going to do?" "We must go to her!" Galen said, pulling a large sword down from the wall. "Plud is an evil place. It is where Keeah's mother, Queen Relna, fought her last battle against Sparr."

第六章回家必须等待“普拉德的紫禁城，”马克斯说。 “精灵们把姬娅公主带到普拉德去了！”埃里克盯着镜子。 “她看起来真的很害怕。我们该怎么办呢？”“我们必须去找她！”盖伦边说边从墙上抽出一把大剑。 “普拉德是个邪恶的地方。这是姬娅的母亲蕾娜女王与斯帕尔最后一战的地方。”

Neal shivered. "You mean, she's dead?"

Neal颤抖。“你是说，她死了？”

"She was never seen again," Galen said as he slid the sword into his belt. "But that is not the worst of it. Sparr now seeks from Keeah the Red Eye of Dawn. It is one of the Three Powers I told you about. It is a jewel that commands the forces of nature." "Does Keeah have it?" Julie asked. Galen grabbed a helmet from a shelf. "I do not know. Even Keeah doesn't know. To stop Sparr from using the Powers for evil, I cast them to the winds and charmed them to change their shapes. No one knows what they have become." "But Sparr will stop at nothing to have them again!" Max chittered, scurrying toward the passage to the ground. "I fear for Keeah. Hurry!" Zzzzt! "Wait," Julie said, turning back. "The mirror." The hazy glass showed a city of bright towers as light and sunny as Plud was dark. In the distance, a black cloud of groggles was descending. "Sparr has tricked us!" Galen boomed. "His Ninns are attacking Jaffa City! Oh, I hope the princess can defend herself against Sparr until I return. I must go to Jaffa this instant." "Wait," said Eric, turning to his friends. "Keeah helped me in the forest. And she was going to get us home. Now

“再也没人见过她。”盖伦边说边把剑插进腰带。 “但这还不是最糟糕的。 斯帕现在向基娅寻求黎明的红眼。 它是我跟你说过的三股力量之一。 它是一颗宝石，支配着大自然的力量。” “它在基娅那儿吗？”朱莉问。 盖伦从架子上拿了一个头盔。 “我不知道。连Keeah都不知道。 为了阻止斯帕利用超能力作恶，我把它们扔到风中用魔法改变了它们的形状。 没有人知道他们变成了什么样子。” “但斯帕尔会不惜一切代价重新拥有它们！”马克斯叽叽喳喳地说着，匆匆奔向通往地面的通道。 “我为Keeah担心。快点!”Zzzzt !“等等，”朱莉说着，转过身来。 “镜子”。朦胧的玻璃映照出一座由明亮的塔楼组成的城市，明亮而阳光明媚，而普拉德却是一片黑暗。 远处，一团黑云正在降落。 “斯帕尔耍了我们！”盖伦蓬勃发展。 “他的精灵正在攻击雅法城！”我希望在我回来之前公主能保护好自己不受斯帕的伤害。 我必须马上去雅法。” “等等，”埃里克转向他的朋友们说。 “Keeah在森林里帮助了我。 她要送我们回家。 现在

she's in trouble. I mean, we have to help her." "How can we get to Plud?" Julie asked Galen. "Hey!" Neal yelled suddenly. He jerked back, tumbling over a stack of books and hitting the floor with a thud. "Something just licked me!" "Leep?" cried Max. He sprang up and landed in midair. "The pilka! I'm sitting on her!" Galen quickly pulled at the air under Max. As he did, a silken fabric seemed to collect in his hands. And a creature took shape in the room. It was an animal the size of a horse. But with long white fur. And six legs. And a friendly face. It looked like a shaggy camel. "Pilkas are quite friendly," said Max. "And quite fast! Leep seems to like you, Master Neal." Hrrrr! The creature whinnied loudly. She plodded to the passage door and turned her head back, as if beckoning the children to follow. Eric looked around at his friends. "We're running out of time," Julie said. Neal nodded. "Plus, we're a team, right?" Eric felt his heart begin to race. "I guess we're going to Plud!"

她有麻烦了。我的意思是，我们必须帮助她。” “我们怎么去普拉德？”朱莉问盖伦。 “嘿!”尼尔突然喊道。 他猛地往后一跳，被一堆书绊倒，砰的一声摔在地板上。 “刚才有什么东西在舔我！”“睡觉？”麦克斯叫道。 他一跃而起，落在半空中。 “pilka !我坐在她身上了！”盖伦迅速拉了拉麦克斯身下的空气。 当他这样做的时候，一块丝绸织物似乎在他的手中聚集起来。 一个生物在房间里成形了。 这是一种马大小的动物。 但是长着长长的白色皮毛。还有六条腿。 还有一张友好的脸。它看起来像一头毛茸茸的骆驼。 “皮尔卡很友好，”马克斯说。 “而且非常快！”莱普似乎很喜欢你，尼尔少爷。” Hrrrr !那生物大声地呜呜叫着。 她拖着沉重的脚步走到过道门口，转过头来，好像在招呼孩子们跟着走。 埃里克看看他的朋友们。 “我们没时间了，”朱莉说。 Neal点点头。“另外，我们是一个团队，对吧？”埃里克感到他的心开始狂跳。 “我想我们要去普拉德了！”
