Chapter 5

CHAPTER FIVE Blaze trembled with excitement. "Oh, Scarlett! It is magic! I can feel it tingling through me." She stared at her hooves. "Did you see the sparks? I was sure I was going to be a flying unicorn but I think I have fire magic instead!" "Fire magic? Are you sure?" For a moment, when they were spinning round so fast in the air, Scarlett had thought that Blaze had taken off and was flying. She felt a rush of disappointment. "Yes!" said Blaze. "I think that's why the

第五章火焰激动得浑身发抖。 “哦,斯佳丽!这是魔法！我能感觉到它刺痛了我全身。” 她盯着自己的蹄子。“你看到火花了吗？” 我以为我会成为一只会飞的独角兽，但我想我有火焰魔法！”“火魔法吗? 你确定吗？”他们在空中旋转得那么快的时候，思嘉还以为火焰已经飞走了呢。 她感到一阵失望。 “是的！”Blaze说。“我想这就是为什么

snow is melting under my hooves." "Fire magic!" Billy gave Scarlett and Blaze an envious look. "Lucky! We're hoping for fire magic, aren't we, Lightning?" Lightning nodded vigorously. "My dad does fire magic. It was so much fun when I was little. He used to toast sky berries and make amazing displays of coloured sparks. Show us your flames again, Blaze." "Yes, try again!" urged Scarlett, thinking Billy and Lightning were right– maybe fire magic would be fun. Blaze stamped a front hoof again. There was a loud crack. Tiny red and gold flames flickered up. "You're doing it, Blaze! You're brilliant!" encouraged Scarlett. Blaze stamped again, harder. Sparks flew up from her hooves and little pools of hissing water formed wherever they landed. Lightning looked wistful. "I wish we had

雪在我脚下融化了。” “火魔法!”比利羡慕地看了思嘉和布雷兹一眼。 “幸运!我们希望有火魔法，是不是，闪电？”闪电使劲点头。 “我爸爸会火魔法。我小的时候玩得很开心。 他曾经烤过天空浆果，并制作出令人惊叹的彩色火花。 再让我们看看你的火焰吧，烈焰。” “好吧，再试一次！"思嘉催促道，她认为比利和闪电是对的——也许火魔法会很有趣。 烈焰又跺了一下前蹄。 啪的一声巨响。红色和金色的小火焰闪烁着。 “你成功了，火焰！”你真聪明！"思嘉鼓励道。 烈焰又跺脚了，更用力了。 火星从她的蹄子里飞出来，无论他们落在哪里，都会形成嘶嘶作响的小水潭。 闪电显得若有所思。“我希望我们有

some sky berries to toast." "We could look for toffee nuts in the woods and toast those," said Scarlett eagerly. She pointed to a tall tree on the edge of the forest. "That looks like a toffee tree." Blaze stared at the tree intently then stamped. CRACK! A flame arched from her hoof, speeding towards the toffee nuts hanging

烤一些天空莓。” “我们可以到树林里去找些太妃糖坚果烤一下，"思嘉急切地说。 她指着森林边缘的一棵大树。 “那看起来像一棵太妃糖树。” 烈焰目不转睛地盯着那棵树，然后跺着脚。 裂缝!一团火焰从她的蹄子上拱起，向挂着的太妃糖坚果疾驰而去

from the branches. POP! It hit the tree. Several nuts flared a warm glowing red then fell to the ground. "Whoa!" Billy's mouth fell open. "Brilliant!" shouted Scarlett, hugging Blaze. She jumped down and took off her scarf to catch another cluster of toasted nuts as they fell from the tree. There was a rich smell of warm toffee. "You're amazing, Blaze!" The nuts glowed brightly, then turned a dull purple in a puff of treacly coloured smoke. They smelled delicious. As Scarlett and Billy stuffed the toasted nuts into their mouths a haughty voice rang out. "Don't you know it's dangerous to play with fire?" No one had heard Valentina approaching on Golden Briar. She halted at the edge of the trees. Scarlett rolled her eyes. "Blaze is doing just fine. Go away." Valentina's face turned sour. "I'll tell. My

从树枝上。流行!它撞到了树上。 几颗坚果发出温暖的红光，然后落在地上。 “哇!”比利张大了嘴。 “太棒了！"思嘉喊道，一面拥抱着布雷兹。 她跳下来，摘下围巾去接另一串从树上掉下来的烤坚果。 有一股浓郁的温暖的太妃糖味。 “你太棒了，布雷兹！”坚果发出明亮的光芒，然后在一股糖果色的烟雾中变成暗紫色。 它们闻起来很香。思嘉和比利把烤过的坚果塞进嘴里时，一个傲慢的声音响了起来。 “难道你不知道玩火是危险的吗？”没有人听见瓦伦蒂娜沿着金荆棘路走来。 她在树林边停了下来。 思嘉翻了个白眼。“Blaze做得很好。 走开。”瓦伦蒂娜的脸变酸了。 “我要告诉。我的

parents are governors, you know." "Really, you should have said," Billy muttered, making Scarlett giggle. Valentina urged Golden Briar forward. "Your unicorn shouldn't be playing with fire when she's only just discovered her powers. Stop it right now!" she commanded. Blaze's eyes glinted and she stamped down hard. Fire curled from her hoof, running around Golden Briar in a circle, leaving a trail of melted snow. Golden Briar shied backwards, his hooves slipping and spraying slush everywhere. "Eeek!" Valentina shrieked. "We're getting wet!" "How can fire make you wet?" asked Blaze innocently, conjuring up more flames to blast the snow-covered branches. The melting snow created hissing streams of water that rained down on Valentina and Golden Briar. Valentina was purple with fury. "Stop it at once, you horrible thing."

你知道，父母是管理者。” “真的吗，你应该早点说的，"比利喃喃地说，弄得思嘉咯咯地笑起来。 瓦伦蒂娜催促金荆棘往前走。 “你的独角兽不应该在刚刚发现自己的力量的时候玩火。 马上住手！”她命令道。 布雷兹的眼睛闪闪发光，她重重地踩了下去。 火焰从她的蹄子里袅袅升起，绕着金荆棘绕了一圈，留下一串融化的雪。 金Briar向后退缩，他的蹄子滑了下来，溅得到处都是雪。 “嘿!”瓦伦提娜尖叫起来。 “我们淋湿了！”“火怎么能把你弄湿呢？”烈焰天真地问道，召唤出更多的火焰来炸开被雪覆盖的树枝。 融化的雪形成了嘶嘶的水流，雨点般地落在瓦伦蒂娜和金荆棘身上。 瓦伦蒂娜气得脸色发青。 “马上停下，你这可怕的东西。”

"I'm trying," said Blaze, blasting more snow. "Help me, Valentina. I can't control my magic." Golden Briar snorted indignantly and dashed away from the trees, sliding in the slushy ice. She didn't stop until she was far in the distance. Scarlett could barely stand up straight for laughing. Each time she managed to stop, Billy and Lightning laughed so hard they set her off again.

“我在努力，”Blaze说着，又喷了更多的雪。 “救救我，瓦伦蒂娜。我控制不了我的魔法。” 金荆棘愤怒地哼了一声，冲出树林，在泥泞的冰面上滑行。 她一直走到很远的地方才停下来。 思嘉笑得几乎站不直了。 每次她停下来，比利和闪电都笑得很厉害，又把她推了起来。
