Chapter 8

8 The ground began to shudder. Phoebe looked around. Was that an earthquake? But then she noticed a glowing blue-and-purple mist. She watched as the mist gathered around her bleeding leg. Strangely, the throbbing seemed to fade a bit. As the mist settled, it also looked like the bleeding was slowing down. A huge grin stretched across Phoebe's dragon face. This was no earthquake. This was the roar of her friends!

大地开始颤抖。 菲比环顾四周。那是地震吗? 但随后她注意到一团蓝紫色的光雾。 她看着雾气聚集在她流血的腿上。 奇怪的是，悸动似乎减弱了一点。 随着雾的消散，流血的速度似乎也在减慢。 菲比的龙脸上露出一个大大的笑容。 这不是地震。这是她的朋友们的吼声!

"That's so smart!" DasherGirl said, shaking her antlers in delight. "They're roaring, and because they're such good friends, their roar is healing you!" The Dreamlets let out a happy cheer. If they'd had hands, Phoebe was pretty sure they'd be clapping them. Phoebe tried to wriggle her foot. Her leg still hurt, but it was better than it had been a few moments ago. Maybe it will help if I roar, too? she wondered. It was worth a try. She filled her lungs and roared. It billowed up, illuminating everything in a moonlight-colored fog. A moment later, she heard her friends joining in. The Dreamlets tried to roar as well. It was more like squealing than roaring, but Phoebe appreciated the effort. Phoebe watched in delight as the roar gathered like a healing bandage around her wound. The throbbing stopped, and when the mist cleared, Phoebe gasped. Not only had the bleeding stopped, but the gash had disappeared entirely!

“这太聪明了!”女孩高兴地摇着鹿角说。 “它们在咆哮，因为它们是好朋友，它们的咆哮正在治愈你!”梦龙们发出了快乐的欢呼声。 如果他们有手，菲比肯定会鼓掌。 菲比试图扭动她的脚。 她的腿还在疼，但比几分钟前好多了。 也许我吼一声会有帮助? 她想知道。值得一试。 她喘着气咆哮起来。 它翻腾起来，照亮了月色雾中的一切。 过了一会儿，她听到她的朋友们也加入进来。 梦龙也试着咆哮。 与其说是咆哮，不如说是尖叫，但菲比很欣赏这种努力。 菲比高兴地看着那吼声像绷带一样在她的伤口上愈合。 悸动停止了，雾气散去后，菲比倒吸了一口气。 不仅血止住了，伤口也完全消失了!

Even better, the power of their roar caused the rocks all around her to crumble. Dust swirled, joining the glow of the Night Dragons' roars. With a loud groan, the earth seemed to split open. The Dreamlets squealed in delight. There was now enough space for Phoebe to stretch out her wings. "Hold on, Dreamlets," she called. "It's time to fly!" Phoebe flapped her wings and flew up the last little way to the surface. It was wonderful to land on the soft grass and feel the night air against her scales. The Dreamlets jumped off her back and quickly wriggled over to a patch of moonlight. Phoebe watched as the magical rope shrank to its normal size and floated back to join the ball of thread suspended from her necklace. Up in the sky, the Fire Moon was living up to its name. It looked like it could catch the sky on fire.

更妙的是，它们咆哮的力量把她周围的岩石都震碎了。 尘埃飞扬，融入夜龙的怒吼。 随着一声巨大的呻吟，大地似乎裂开了。 梦娃们高兴得尖叫起来。 现在有足够的空间让菲比展开翅膀。 “坚持住，梦中人。”她喊道。 “是时候飞了!”菲比拍打着翅膀，飞向最后一段水面。 降落在柔软的草地上，感觉夜晚的空气拍打着她的鳞片，真是太棒了。 小梦龙从她背上跳下来，迅速爬到一片月光下。 菲比看着那根神奇的绳子缩小到原来的大小，然后飘回来，和挂在她项链上的线球连在一起。 在天空中，火月名副其实。 它看起来可以让天空着火。

She hoped the moonlight would be cool enough to recharge the Dreamlets, even if it was fiery moonlight. There was something else on her mind, too. Her friends! How was she going to get them out of the underground cave? They had helped her get out of a tight spot. Now it was her turn to help them. But happily, this was one thing Phoebe did not have to worry about. Stella and Rosie burst out of the hole and flopped onto the grass beside her, breathless but laughing.

她希望月光足够凉爽，即使是炽热的月光，也能给小梦充电。 她心里还想着别的事。 她的朋友!她要怎么把他们从地下洞穴里弄出来? 他们帮助她摆脱了困境。 现在轮到她帮助他们了。 但令人高兴的是，这是菲比不必担心的一件事。 斯特拉和罗茜从洞里冲出来，扑通一声落在她身边的草地上，喘不过气来，但笑了起来。

"So it turns out that I am not very good at flying straight up!" Stella said, rubbing her head with her wing. "Yeah, I figured that by the way you kept headbutting my tail!" Rosie chuckled. Phoebe was SO happy to see them! All the tension she had felt down in the cave had disappeared, and the three friends hugged. "That was amazing," Phoebe said, shaking her head in disbelief. "How did you know that your roar would heal my leg?"

“原来我不擅长直飞!”斯特拉说着，用翅膀摩擦着她的头。 “是啊，顺便说一下，你一直用头撞我的尾巴，我就猜到了!”罗西咯咯地笑了。 菲比见到他们太高兴了!她在洞穴里感受到的所有紧张感都消失了，三个朋友拥抱在一起。 “太神奇了，”菲比说，难以置信地摇着头。 “你怎么知道你的吼叫能治好我的腿?”

"We didn't! We just wanted to roar our support," Rosie said. "There's not much our roars can't do," Stella said proudly. "Hey, look who's here!" She pulled out of the hug. Behind them, the Newt Nurses had appeared and were busy fussing over the Dreamlets. "Are they okay?" Phoebe called. "They're not hurt," reported one of the nearby newts, "but they are weak. The Fire Moon is not giving them the nourishment they need. They need to get closer to the moon. Can you take them to the Dream Clouds?" Phoebe and her friends looked at one another. On their last quest they had gone to the Hope Clouds. Were the Dream Clouds similar? As usual, DasherGirl seemed to know what the Night Dragons were thinking. "The Dream Clouds are a layer higher than the Hope Clouds," she explained. "Do we go back to the sunset ray station?" Rosie asked. "Or can we fly?"

“我们没有!我们只是想大声表示支持，”罗西说。 斯特拉自豪地说:“我们的吼叫没有什么做不到的。” “嘿，看谁来了!”她挣脱了拥抱。 在他们身后，纽特护士们出现了，正忙着照料小梦虫。 “他们还好吗?”菲比。 “他们没有受伤，”附近的一只蝾螈报告说，“但他们很虚弱。 火月没有给他们所需的营养。 他们需要更接近月球。 你能带他们去梦云吗?”菲比和她的朋友们面面相觑。 他们最后一次去的地方是希望之云。 梦云相似吗? 像往常一样，大小姐似乎知道夜龙们在想什么。 “梦想云比希望云高一层，”她解释说。 “我们要回日落射线站吗?”罗西问道。 “或者我们能飞吗?”
