Chapter 2

2 Hana blinked, letting her eyes adjust to the gloom. Thunder rolled again. But it sounded different this time. Was it closer or farther away? Hana couldn't tell. Light filtered through the willow branches. Except—how odd!—the tree had changed. It was

2哈娜眨了眨眼睛，让她的眼睛适应黑暗。 雷声又响起来了。但这次听起来不一样了。 是更近还是更远? 哈娜看不出来。光线透过柳枝照进来。 除多奇怪!-树变了。 这是

covered in sweet-smelling purple flowers. Surely they hadn't been there a moment ago? Something strange was going on. The light grew brighter as Hana pushed her way through the leaves. She stopped in surprise. The neat and orderly garden around the banquet hall had vanished. In its place was a wild forest. Tall trees with rough bark stretched toward the sky. The smooth lawn had been replaced by mossy rocks and colorful shrubbery. A little creature hurried past. The animal looked like a rabbit… but it had a neon-pink tail. Hana blinked again. I'll go and find Mina, she decided. Her twin would figure out what was going on. Mina was lightning fast at solving mysteries. Then Hana noticed two things. Two very impossible things. The first was that the entire banquet hall had vanished. There was no sign of it at all!

覆盖着芬芳的紫色花朵。 他们刚才肯定没有去过那里吧? 奇怪的事情发生了。 哈娜穿过树叶时，光线变得更亮了。 她吃惊地停了下来。宴会厅周围整洁有序的花园消失了。 原来的地方是一片荒蛮的森林。 树皮粗糙的高大树木伸向天空。 光滑的草坪已被长满青苔的岩石和五颜六色的灌木所取代。 一个小家伙匆匆走过。 这只动物看起来像一只兔子，但它有一条霓虹粉色的尾巴。 哈娜又眨了眨眼睛。我去找米娜，她决定。 她的双胞胎兄弟会知道发生了什么。 米娜在破案方面有闪电般的速度。 然后哈娜注意到了两件事。 两件非常不可能的事。 第一件事是整个宴会厅都消失了。 一点迹象也没有!

The second was that her legs had disappeared. Well, not disappeared exactly. But they had changed. A lot! Her normal legs had been replaced with powerful limbs covered in gleaming scales. The new shoes Hana's mom had bought her for the party had also vanished. Now her feet were huge paws with sharp claws. Mina and Zora always teased Hana that when she got excited or frustrated, she would roar. Now Hana opened her mouth, and the sound that she made was most definitely a roar! It felt amazing. "Am I dreaming?" she wondered aloud. "If you're dreaming, then I must be, too," said a growly voice. A fluffy bear cub strolled toward her. "Um, did you just speak?" Hana asked. She was feeling a little dazed. There was a lot of strange stuff happening! The bear cub climbed onto a nearby rock. "Technically it's more like growling than speaking," the cub said cheerfully. "But yes, I

第二件事是她的腿不见了。 确切地说，并没有消失。 但他们已经变了。很多!她正常的双腿被覆盖着闪闪发光鳞片的有力四肢所取代。 哈娜妈妈为聚会买的新鞋也不见了。 现在她的脚是巨大的爪子和锋利的爪子。 米娜和佐拉总是取笑哈娜，当她兴奋或沮丧时，她会咆哮。 现在哈娜张开嘴，她发出的声音绝对是一声咆哮!感觉太棒了。 “我是在做梦吗?” “如果你在做梦，那我也一定在做梦。”一个咆哮的声音说。 一只毛茸茸的小熊向她走来。 “嗯，你刚才说话了吗?”刘荷娜问道。 她感到有点头晕。 发生了很多奇怪的事情!熊宝宝爬上了附近的一块岩石。 “从技术上讲，这更像是咆哮，而不是说话，”幼崽高兴地说。 “是的，我

did." He had a surprisingly deep voice for such a cute little thing. "I'm Beebi, by the way. You must be Hana. Tell me, have you tried out your wings yet?" "I have wings?" Hana looked over her shoulder. Sure enough, a magnificent pair of wings sprouted from her back! She looked at Beebi. A few minutes ago, asking an animal a question would

了。”对于这么可爱的小东西来说，他的声音低沉得令人惊讶。 “顺便说一下，我叫毕比。你一定是哈娜。 告诉我，你试过你的翅膀了吗?”“我有翅膀?”哈娜扭头看了看。 果然，她的背上长出了一对美丽的翅膀!她看着比比。 几分钟前，问动物问题会

have seemed weird. But now it seemed perfectly normal. "What exactly am I?" "You're a Storm Dragon," Beebi said. "That's why you have a storm cloud on your forehead." Hana grinned. She somehow felt like a dragon —strong and full of power. It also explained the claws. And Hana loved storms, so that felt doubly right! Thunder rolled again. The sound seemed to trigger something in Hana. A tickling feeling, like a cough rose inside her. She opened her mouth and another roar burst out, even louder than the last one. Now that she thought about it, her roars sounded a lot like thunder. "You've certainly got the roaring part figured out," Beebi commented. "But I guess that makes sense. You're the Thunder Dragon, after all. You have a special connection to loud, powerful sounds."

看起来很奇怪。但现在一切似乎都很正常。 “我到底是什么?”“你是暴风龙。”比比说。 “这就是为什么你额头上有一片乌云。” Hana咧嘴一笑。不知怎么的，她觉得自己像一条龙——强壮而充满力量。 这也解释了为什么会有爪子。 哈娜喜欢风暴，所以我觉得这是对的!雷声又响起来了。 这声音似乎触动了哈娜的内心。 一种发痒的感觉，像咳嗽一样在她心里升起。 她张开嘴，又发出了一声吼叫，比上一声还要响亮。 现在她仔细想想，她的咆哮听起来很像打雷。 “你肯定把咆哮的部分弄明白了，”比比评论道。 “但我想这是有道理的。 毕竟你是雷龙。 你对响亮有力的声音有一种特殊的联系。”

This made Hana laugh. Her sister and cousin would certainly agree! Suddenly, she felt a little pang. If only Mina and Zora were here to share this amazing adventure with her. "Give those wings a try," Beebi instructed. "We have places to be." Hana stretched out her wings and gave them a test flap. The action felt strange, but also perfectly natural. She flapped again, with more force this time. She rose a couple of inches off the ground. "That's it!" said Beebi. "Try again."

哈娜笑了。她的姐姐和表妹肯定会同意!突然，她感到一阵剧痛。 要是米娜和佐拉能和她一起分享这次奇妙的冒险就好了。 “试试那些翅膀吧，”比比指示道。 “我们还有地方要去。”哈娜展开她的翅膀，试着拍打一下。 这个动作感觉很奇怪，但也很自然。 她又拍了拍，这次更用力了。 她站起来离地几英寸。 “就是这样!”毕比说。“再试一次。”
