Chapter 5

5 "Oh no!" Aisha groaned as she landed heavily on the ground. She couldn't believe it! Treasure Dragons were meant to protect the Magic Forest's precious objects, not break them! What would happen now that the mirror was broken?

5“哦，不!”艾莎重重地落在地上，呻吟着。 她简直不敢相信!宝龙的使命是保护魔法森林的珍贵物品，而不是破坏它们!镜子碎了会怎么样?

"Aisha, it wasn't your fault," said Quinn quickly. "It could've happened to any of us," agreed Mei. Aisha nodded but didn't reply. Her friends were being nice, but she felt terrible. And she was worried, too. What were they going to do? Just then, Aisha felt a nudge. PlushyPup! "You must get the pieces of mirror away from here as quick as you can!" he said. Even as he spoke, the sky darkened, as if the sun had gone behind the clouds. "What's going on?" cried Quinn. Aisha looked up at a swirling mass above them. "Watch out. Shadow Sprites!" yelled Mei. The Sunset Sheep began bleating very loudly. From every direction, Shadow Sprites streaked down toward the group. Confused, the Sunset Sheep scattered in all directions, baaing at the top of their lungs. The Shadow Sprites continued their attack. More and more of them appeared, darting

“阿伊莎，这不是你的错。”奎因赶紧说。 “这种事可能发生在我们任何人身上，”小梅同意道。 艾莎点点头，但没有回答。 她的朋友们表现得很好，但她感觉很糟糕。 她也很担心。他们要做什么? 就在这时，艾莎感到有人推了一下。 PlushyPup !“你必须尽快把镜子的碎片从这里搬走!”他说。 就在他说话的时候，天空变暗了，好像太阳已经躲到云层后面去了。 “怎么回事?”奎因叫道。 艾莎抬头看着他们头顶上一团漩涡。 “小心。暗影精灵!” 日落羊开始大声地咩咩叫。 影子精灵从四面八方奔向人群。 日落羊困惑地四散着，扯着嗓子叫着。 暗影精灵继续攻击。 越来越多的人跑了出来

across the snow toward the panicking pink sheep, leaving gray marks in the crisp white snow. The two halves of the broken mirror were lying on the snow, unprotected. The gilt frame had broken along with the mirror itself. "Quick, grab the pieces!" PlushyPup urged. Aisha tried to move, but she was frozen in place. She wanted to help the poor sheep, and she

穿过雪地，朝着惊慌失措的粉色绵羊走去，在洁白的雪地上留下灰色的痕迹。 破镜子的两半躺在雪地上，无人保护。 镀金的镜框连同镜子本身一起破碎了。 “快，把碎片拿过来!”PlushyPup敦促。 艾莎试图移动，但她被困在原地。 她想帮助可怜的羊，她

wanted to grab the mirror pieces. But her whole body felt heavy. It was as though the snow around her paws had just gotten extra heavy. "I can't move!" Quinn called. "Me neither!" Mei said. "Maybe we've become Snow Dragons!" Aisha's brain whirred. They had to warm up— and fast! But how? There was only one way. "On the count of three, let's roar!" Aisha said. She really hoped this would work. "One, two, three!"

我想去拿镜子碎片。 但她的整个身体都感到沉重。 就好像她爪子周围的雪变得格外沉重。 “我动不了了!”奎因。 “我也是!”梅说。“也许我们变成了雪龙!”艾莎的脑子嗡嗡作响。 他们必须热身——而且要快!但如何? 只有一个办法。“我数到三，我们一起吼!”阿伊莎说。 她真的希望这能奏效。 “一，二，三!”

The Dragon Girls all roared. Instantly, the freezing air around them filled with warmth. Their ruby, sapphire, and jade roars swirled in the air like a tumbling ball of magic. Aisha felt the heat wrap around her like a loving hug, thawing her out. "Good thinking, Aisha," said Mei, flapping her wings and lifting off the ground.

龙女们都吼了起来。 顷刻间，他们周围冰冷的空气充满了温暖。 它们的红宝石、蓝宝石和玉石的吼声在空中旋转，像一个翻滚的魔法球。 艾莎感到那股热气像一个爱的拥抱一样包围着她，使她暖和起来。 “好主意，艾莎，”梅说着，拍打着翅膀，飞离了地面。

From above them came a strange buzzing noise. As Aisha watched in alarm, the cloud of Shadow Sprites changed into the shape of an arrow. And that arrow was streaking down toward the broken mirror! "We've got to grab the pieces before they do!" Aisha cried. The Treasure Dragons launched into the air. Down below, Aisha could see the first piece of mirror. Just as she swooped down to grab it, she was swamped by Shadow Sprites. Everything went dark. Aisha couldn't tell what was up or down. She felt that horrible cold seeping into her wings again. The sprites muttered mean things as they brushed against her. "You can't possibly win against us! Give up, Treasure Dragon. There's no point in trying," a chorus of sprites hissed. That made Aisha mad! "I will never give up!" she roared, flapping her wings and rising higher. "And neither will my friends!"

从他们头顶传来一阵奇怪的嗡嗡声。 艾莎惊恐地看着，那团暗影精灵变成了一支箭的形状。 那支箭正朝着那面破碎的镜子疾驰而下!“我们得赶在他们之前抢到碎片!”艾莎哭了。 宝龙号飞向空中。 在下面，艾莎可以看到第一块镜子。 就在她俯冲下来想要抓住它的时候，她被暗影精灵淹没了。 一切都变黑了。艾莎分不清什么是上什么是下。 她感到那股可怕的寒意又渗进了她的翅膀。 精灵们从她身上擦过，嘴里嘀咕着刻薄的话。 “你们不可能赢我们的!”放弃吧，宝龙。 没必要再尝试了。”精灵们齐声发出嘶嘶声。 这让阿伊莎很生气!“我永远不会放弃!”她咆哮着，拍打着翅膀，飞得更高。 “我的朋友们也不会!”
