9 Broken Dreams

CHAPTER 9

第九章

Broken Dreams Thwap! Thwap! Thwap! Clara awoke to the sound of dragon wings beating outside her window. This time it wasn't Ruskin who had come to visit. It was Firestorm— her team partner from when she had joined the Knight Spires of Wrenly.

破碎的梦！被击穿!被击穿!克拉拉被窗外龙翅膀拍打的声音惊醒。 这次来拜访的不是罗斯金。 是火风暴——她加入兰利骑士尖塔时的队友。

Clara leaned outside and, to her surprise, found all the Knight Spires waiting for her. "Greetings, Thirteenth Knight! It is a glorious day in the kingdom of Wrenly," the Head Spire said. "We must get to the castle without delay!" What is happening? wondered Clara. "I'll be right there!" she said. Clara ran to her closet and found a suit of armor hanging on her door—just like Lucas had! Only, her suit of armor was made of shimmering yellow- and-green dragon scales.

克拉拉探出身子，令她吃惊的是，所有的骑士尖塔都在等着她。 “你好，第十三号骑士！”这是雷利王国光辉的一天。”尖塔头说。 “我们必须立即赶到城堡！”发生了什么？ 想知道克拉拉。“我马上就到！”她说。 克拉拉跑到她的衣橱，发现门上挂着一套盔甲——就像卢卡斯一样！只不过，她的盔甲是用黄绿色的龙鳞做成的。

Once in the armor, Clara ran to the window and clicked her tongue, and Firestorm flew in close. She leaped onto her back and called out, "To the castle!" And Firestorm lifted Clara above the rooftops. Everyone in the kingdom had gathered in the castle's great hall, from townspeople and wizards to trolls and fairies. Clara took her place in the crowd and waved to the king and queen standing on the platform. When the trumpets sounded, Lucas and Ruskin were led onto the platform. The Head Spire bent down and whispered something in Clara's ear.

穿上盔甲后，克拉拉跑到窗前，咔哒一声咂舌，火风暴飞近了。 她跳上背，喊道：“到城堡去！”火风暴把克拉拉抬到了屋顶上。 王国里的所有人都聚集在城堡的大厅里，从市民、巫师到巨怪和仙女。 克拉拉站在人群中，向站在台上的国王和王后挥手。 号角声一响，卢卡斯和罗斯金就被领上了站台。 尖塔弯下腰，在克拉拉的耳边低语了几句。
