10 Underwater Magic

CHAPTER 10 UNDERWATER MAGIC Tag, Skyla, Blaze, and Nova hid in the willow trees. CLACK! CLACK! CLACK! Tag caught his breath as he listened to the tiger bats' beaks snapping in the sky above. After a while, the tiger bats flapped away.

第十章水下魔法泰格、斯凯拉、火焰和诺娃躲在柳树树丛里。 瓣!瓣!瓣!泰格听着头顶天空中虎蝠的喙声，屏住了呼吸。 过了一会儿，虎蝠拍打着翅膀飞走了。

"Phew!" Nova sighed. She smiled at her new friends. "So, what brings you to Lullaby Lake?" she asked, fluttering over Tag's head. "We are on a long journey, in search of all the pieces of the Ember Stone," Tag told her. "Our magical map led us here for the next piece, but Thorn showed up." "He tried to steal our piece, but he dropped it into the lake," Blaze explained.

“唷!”Nova叹了口气。她对她的新朋友微笑。 “那么，什么风把你吹到摇篮曲湖来了？”她在泰格的头顶上飘动着问道。 “我们正在踏上一段漫长的旅程，寻找烬之石的所有碎片。”泰格告诉她。 “我们的魔法地图指引我们来到这里寻找下一个片段，但索恩出现了。” 布雷兹解释说：“他试图偷走我们的作品，但他把它扔进了湖里。”

"So that's why Thorn came to our lake!" Nova said. "We knew something strange was happening when those electric eels magically appeared." "I'm sorry," Tag replied. "We're trying to get our stone back. But we haven't been able to get past Thorn's spies—the electric eels," Skyla said. "And you and your friends keep putting us to sleep," Tag added. Nova's face turned pink. "I'm sorry," she said. "But we have to protect our piece of the Ember Stone." She clapped her hand over her mouth. Then I did see our stone glow! Tag thought. It glowed because it was near the nixies' piece of the stone!

“原来这就是索恩来我们湖的原因！”新星说。 “当那些电鳗神奇地出现时，我们就知道发生了一些奇怪的事情。” “对不起，”泰格回答。“我们想把石头拿回来。 但我们没能躲过索恩的间谍——电鳗。”斯凯拉说。 “而你和你的朋友不断地把我们弄睡着，”泰格补充道。 诺瓦的脸变红了。“对不起，”她说。 “但我们必须保护好我们的余烬之石。” 她用手捂住嘴。 然后我确实看到我们的石头在发光！泰格的想法。 它之所以发光，是因为它靠近仙女的那块石头！

"You have the next piece! Where is it?" Tag asked, his eyes wide. "My father will explain everything," Nova said, pointing to the water. "I will take you to him—at the bottom of the lake." "I can't swim!" Skyla cried. "You don't need to swim," Nova said with a smile. "What about the eels? And the tiger bats? I'm sure they're still nearby," Tag said. Nova's wings glowed. "Leave them to me." She flew into a tree and picked a handful of soft blossoms.

“下一块给你！”它在哪儿？”泰格睁大眼睛问。 “我爸爸会解释一切的，”诺瓦指着水说。 “我带你去找他——在湖底。” “我不会游泳！”Skyla哭了。 “你不需要游泳，”诺瓦笑着说。 “鳗鱼怎么办？”虎蝠呢？ 我肯定他们还在附近，”塔格说。 诺娃的翅膀闪闪发光。“交给我吧。” 她飞到一棵树上，摘了一把柔软的花。

"Put these in your ears," she said. Tag, Blaze, and Skyla placed the fluffy blossoms in their ears. Tag watched as Nova opened her mouth and started singing. Her wings glowed brighter. The tiger bats came out from beneath a willow tree across the lake, as though in a trance. Then they fell to the ground, sleeping soundly. Nova stopped singing and waved at the friends to remove the blossoms. "Follow me," Nova said, flying toward the water. Nova's wings glowed a soft pink color. She held out her hands, and tiny, glittery sparkles rose to make four shiny bubbles. The bubbles grew and grew until they were as big as Blaze.

“把这个塞到耳朵里，”她说。 泰格、火焰和斯凯拉把毛茸茸的花朵放在耳朵上。 泰格看着诺娃张开嘴开始唱歌。 她的翅膀更亮了。 虎蝠从湖对面的一棵柳树下飞了出来，好像出神了。 然后他们倒在地上，睡得很香。 诺娃停止了歌唱，向朋友们挥手，让他们摘下鲜花。 “跟我来。”诺瓦说着，飞向水面。 诺娃的翅膀闪烁着柔和的粉红色。 她伸出双手，小小的、闪闪发光的火花冒了出来，形成了四个闪亮的泡泡。 气泡越来越大，直到它们像火焰一样大。

Nova pointed to the bubbles. "These will take us beneath the water." Tag scratched his head. "How?" he asked. BLOOP! "Like that!" The nixie laughed at Blaze, who had stepped inside a bubble. Then she stepped inside one, too. "Peep!" Blaze smiled. Tag took a step forward. BLOOP! "What if my bubble pops underwater?" Skyla called from inside hers.

诺瓦指着泡泡。 “这些船可以把我们带到水下。” 泰格挠了挠头。“怎么做？”他问。 杂音!“这样!”水妖笑了笑火焰，火焰走进了一个泡泡里。 然后她也走进了一个。 “偷看!”大火笑了。泰格向前迈了一步。 杂音!“如果我的泡泡在水下破裂了怎么办？”斯凯拉在她的房间里叫道。
