Chapter 10

CHAPTER TEN The magic set them down safely back in the hall of the academy. For a moment, they all stood there, catching their breath. "That was the scariest thing EVER!" said Phoebe shakily. For once, Zara didn't tease her for being overly dramatic. "It really was. Oh, Moonbeam!" She leaned forward and flung her arms round Moonbeam's neck as she buried her face in her long silver mane. "Thank you so much for saving me– twice. Seer magic is awesome." Moonbeam turned her head to nuzzle her. "I didn't see everything. My magic only gave me glimpses. I saw visions of you and the rocks falling. I heard a man's evil laughter and I worked out what was going to happen." Moonbeam smiled shyly at Zara. "I used the evidence. I could see that the bear's nose didn't look very stable. When the

第十章魔法使他们安全地回到了学院的大厅里。 有那么一会儿，他们都站在那里，喘着气。 “这是有史以来最可怕的事情！”菲比颤抖着说。 这一次，Zara没有取笑她过于夸张。 “确实是。哦,月光!”她倾身向前，伸出双臂搂住月光的脖子，把脸埋进长长的银色鬃毛里。 “非常感谢你救了我——两次。 先知魔法太棒了。”月光转过头来用鼻子蹭她。 “我没有看到所有的东西。我的魔法只给了我一瞥。 我看到了你和石头坠落的幻象。 我听到了一个男人邪恶的笑声，我猜到了将要发生的事情。” 月光害羞地对Zara笑了笑。 “我利用了证据。我可以看到熊的鼻子看起来不太稳定。 当

tremors started, I guessed that you would fall and the rocks would come crashing down on you so I worked out how to keep you safe. I'm not going to rely just on predictions in the future, I'll use evidence too." Zara grinned. "And I'm definitely not going to rely just on evidence, I'm going to listen to your feelings. If it hadn't been for your magic, Moonbeam, we wouldn't have found the sun pearls. I wish I'd listened to you sooner." Phoebe gasped and pointed. "Your hair! Zara! You've got a silver streak– the same colour as Moonbeam's mane. You've bonded!" Zara swept her fingers through her hair, searching for the coloured streak. She gasped. Phoebe was right! The other unicorns whinnied and the girls cheered. "You've bonded! You've bonded!" sung Aisha. Zara beamed. She and Moonbeam were partners for life now and would be able to graduate together at the end of the year.

地震开始了，我猜你会掉下来，石头会砸在你身上，所以我想出了保护你安全的办法。 我不会仅仅依靠预测来预测未来，我也会使用证据。” Zara咧嘴一笑。“我绝对不会只依靠证据，我会倾听你的感受。 如果没有你的魔法，月光，我们就找不到太阳珍珠。 我要是早点听你的话就好了。” 菲比喘着气指了指。 “你的头发!Zara !你有一道银色的条纹——和月光的鬃毛一样的颜色。 你保税!”扎拉用手指梳理着头发，寻找那道染色的条纹。 她喘着气。菲比是对的！其他的独角兽呜呜叫着，女孩们欢呼着。 “你保税!你们很亲密！”艾莎唱道。 Zara传送。她和月光现在是终身伴侣，并将在今年年底一起毕业。

"Let's go and break the sun pearls' spell!" Moonbeam whinnied. "We can use Sparkle Lake." They cantered out of the school hall and raced to the lake. The water was shrinking fast. The lake was much smaller than it usually was. "Ready to break the drought?" Zara called. "Ready!" her friends yelled back. They walked on to the solid mud surrounding the lake and stood in a circle. Zara pulled out the sun pearls and placed them on the mud in a little pile. They glittered brightly in the sunshine. "Unicorns, it's your turn," said Zara. "We need one

“我们去打破太阳珍珠的咒语吧！”月光嘶叫。 “我们可以用闪光湖。” 他们跑出学校礼堂，向湖边跑去。 水在迅速萎缩。 这个湖比平时小多了。 “准备好打破干旱了吗？”Zara。 “准备好了！”她的朋友们喊道。 他们走到湖周围的泥地上，站成一个圈。 扎拉拿出太阳珍珠，把它们放在泥土上堆成一小堆。 它们在阳光下闪闪发光。 “独角兽们，轮到你们了。”扎拉说。 “我们需要一个。

of you to cry." "I'll do it," Moonbeam said softly. She smiled at Zara and a happy tear rolled down her cheek. "I'm just so glad that you believe in me now and we've bonded." She let her tear fall on the pyramid of sun pearls. The sun pearls hissed as her tear fell on them and they began to glow a blueish-green. A fresh wind blew up and grey rain clouds scudded across the sky. The sun disappeared behind the clouds and for once none of the girls minded.

怕你哭。”“我来。”月光轻声说。 她对扎拉笑了笑，一颗幸福的眼泪顺着脸颊滚落下来。 “我很高兴你现在相信我，我们建立了联系。” 她让泪水落在太阳珍珠的金字塔上。 当她的眼泪落在太阳珍珠上时，它们发出嘶嘶声，开始发出蓝绿色的光芒。 一阵清风刮起，灰色的雨云掠过天空。 太阳消失在云层后面，这一次女孩子们谁也不介意。

We did it!" Zara jumped up and down in joy as the rain fell, soaking everyone and sinking into the parched ground. The girls ran to the banks and spun round, letting the rain splash on to their faces as all around them the dry grass began to turn back to green and the wilting flowers came to life again, the flower heads bursting into bloom. Soaked but happy, the girls rode through the rain to the stable block. Just as they reached it, Ms Nettles came cantering towards them on her unicorn, Thyme. "Amethyst dorm! Whatever are you doing back?" she said in concern. "Where are Ms Tulip and Mr Longnose?" "We were looking for you, Ms Nettles, but you weren't here," said Zara, ignoring her questions. "I was at an urgent meeting with the school governors to discuss the extreme weather, but the measures we put in place are no longer needed," said Ms Nettles. "Can you believe it, girls?" Her face broke into a smile, very different from her usual strict expression. "I never thought I'd be so happy to see rain!" "We made it happen!" Phoebe said. Ms Nettles blinked. "You did? How?" They all explained.

我们成功了！”扎拉高兴得上蹿下跳，雨水淋湿了每个人，渗进了干燥的土地。 姑娘们跑到岸边，转过身来，让雨水溅到她们的脸上，周围的干草开始恢复绿色，枯萎的花朵又活了过来，花头又开放了。 姑娘们淋湿了，但很高兴，她们冒着雨骑马来到马厩。 他们刚走到那里，荨麻女士骑着她的独角兽百里香向他们跑来。 “紫晶的宿舍!你回来干什么了？”她担心地说。 “郁金香小姐和长鼻子先生在哪儿？”“我们一直在找你，荨麻女士，但你不在这里。”扎拉说，没有理会她的问题。 奈特尔斯表示：“我当时正在与学校负责人召开紧急会议，讨论极端天气，但我们采取的措施已经不再需要了。” “姑娘们，你们能相信吗？”她的脸上突然露出了笑容，与她平时严厉的表情大不相同。 “我从没想过我看到下雨会这么高兴！”“我们成功了！”菲比。 荨麻眨了眨眼睛。“你做的? 如何?”他们都解释了。

"It's got to be Mr Longnose who's to blame for everything!" Zara finished. "You have to do something about him, Ms Nettles." "Have you got the notebook?" Ms Nettles said quickly. Zara handed it over. Ms Nettles opened it. "But this isn't Mr Longnose's handwriting," she said. She looked inside the front page. "And look, here are some initials," she pointed to some faded letters. "L.T. Not E.L, which are Mr Longnose's initials. He may have had the book in his tent, but it doesn't look like it belongs to him." "He could still have used it even if he didn't write it!" argued Zara. "We're sure it's him, Ms Nettles!" said Lily. "Girls, what you are accusing Mr Longnose of is a very serious crime," said Ms Nettles. "We cannot make accusations without sufficient evidence." "You know something?" said Aisha suddenly. "I'm not sure it is Mr Longnose."

“这一切都得怪Longnose先生！”Zara完成。 “你得对他做点什么，荨麻女士。” “你有笔记本吗？”荨麻女士很快地说。 Zara把它递了过来。荨麻女士打开了它。 “但这不是朗鼻先生的笔迹。”她说。 她看了看头版。 “看，这里有几个首字母，”她指着一些褪色的字母。 “L.T.，不是e.l.，那是朗鼻鼻先生名字的首字母。 他可能把那本书放在帐篷里，但看起来不像是他的。” “即使不是他写的，他仍然可以用它！”扎拉争辩道。 “我们肯定是他，荨麻老师！”莉莉说。 “姑娘们，你们对朗鼻大夫的指控是非常严重的罪行，”内特尔斯女士说。 “没有足够的证据，我们不能提出指控。” “你知道吗？”艾莎突然问道。 “我不确定是不是长鼻子先生。”
