梦之门

CHAPTER 1

第一章

Dream Weaver Clara Gills stood in the village of the kingdom of Wrenly. What am I doing here? she wondered. I know I came here for a reason, but what was it? She couldn't seem to remember. The streets were empty. The shops were shuttered, and there wasn't a single street vendor to be seen. "HELLO?" Clara called. "Anybody?"

织梦人克拉拉·吉尔斯站在兰利王国的村庄里。 我在这里做什么？她想知道。 我知道我来这里是有原因的，但那是什么？ 她似乎不记得了。 街上空无一人。商店都关门了，街上没有一个小贩。 “喂?”克拉拉。“有人吗?”

Nobody answered. The entire land was quiet… too quiet. Clara looked toward the castle where her best friend, Prince Lucas, lived. A dark blue-and-pink mist hung over the castle. The mist swirled wildly, and the castle seemed strangely run-down and haunted. With a gasp, Clara cupped her hand over her mouth. There must be some kind of strange magic at work! she thought. She quickly ran to her father's bakery and found the front door wide open. Inside, loaves of bread lined the shelves and counters, like normal. Clara sniffed the air. Instead of smelling fresh bread, the bakery smelled musty and stale. She picked up a loaf of bread. It was rock-hard and dotted with fuzzy green spots.

没有人回答。整片土地都很安静……太安静了。 克拉拉朝她最好的朋友卢卡斯王子住的城堡望去。 一层深蓝色和粉红色的雾笼罩着城堡。 雾气疯狂地旋转着，城堡奇怪地显得破败不堪，阴魂不散。 克拉拉倒吸了一口气，用手捂住嘴。 一定有什么奇怪的魔法在起作用！她想。 她迅速跑到她父亲的面包店，发现前门大开着。 在里面，像往常一样，货架和柜台上排列着一片片面包。 克拉拉嗅了嗅空气。面包店闻不到新鲜面包的味道，而是霉味和不新鲜的味道。 她拿起一条面包。 它像石头一样坚硬，上面点缀着模糊的绿色斑点。

"Mold?!" she said. "My father would never sell moldy bread!" Then Clara realized her father was nowhere to be seen. She dropped the stale bread and raced up the lane toward the castle. She had to find Lucas. Something was very, very wrong. As she turned a corner, Clara spotted the prince's red dragon trotting in the street.

“发霉？！”她说。“我父亲绝不会卖发霉的面包！”然后克拉拉意识到她的父亲不见了。 她扔下不新鲜的面包，沿着小路向城堡跑去。 她必须找到卢卡斯。有些事情非常非常不对。 当她转弯时，克拉拉发现王子的红龙在街上小跑。
