12 Ch12-Into the Storm

CHAPTER 12 INTO THE STORM When the dust cleared, Drake ran over to his friends. They weren't hurt! Petra's hands were shaking. "That was scary," she said. "You did a great job drawing the statue out of the city," Tessa replied. Drake looked back at the arena. The cloud of magic still swirled overhead, sparking and shooting out lightning bolts. "Griffith and Jayana need us," he said. "Let's go!"

尘埃落定后，德雷克跑向他的朋友们。 他们没有受伤!佩特拉的手在颤抖。 “那太可怕了，”她说。 “你把雕像画出了城，做得很好，”特莎回答说。 德雷克回头看了看竞技场。 魔法的云仍然在头顶上旋转，闪着火花，射出闪电。 “格里菲斯和贾亚娜需要我们，”他说。 “我们走吧!”

They raced into the arena. Griffith and Jayana were on the edge of the circle, floating in protective magical bubbles. They were trying to talk to the battling wizards.

他们跑进竞技场。 格里菲思和贾安娜在圆圈的边缘，漂浮在有保护作用的魔法泡泡里。 他们想和正在战斗的巫师们交谈。

Griffith zoomed over to the three Dragon Masters. "Marco and Felix will not listen to us," he said. "And we cannot use our magic to fight them. It will only make the magic cloud bigger. You must use the Power Crystal."

格里菲斯嗖地飞到三位巨龙大师跟前。 “马可和菲利克斯不会听我们的，”他说。 “我们不能用魔法来对抗他们。 这只会让魔法云变得更大。 你必须使用魔法水晶。”

"How does it work?" Drake asked. Griffith pointed to the sky. "You must take the crystal up there— beneath the magic cloud. The crystal will absorb the magic once you are close enough to it. Just be careful not to touch the cloud. You may end up as a duck, or..." "Or worse," Drake finished. Petra stepped forward. "Zera can fly up to the cloud, and I'll make sure she doesn't touch it," she said. "But one of you will have to hold up the Power Crystal to absorb the magical energy." "I'll hold the crystal," Drake said. Tessa held out the Power Crystal. "You two can do this!"

“它是怎么工作的?”德雷克问道。 格里菲斯指着天空。 “你必须把水晶拿到那儿去——在魔法云下面。 只要你离水晶足够近，它就会吸收魔法。 只是要小心别碰到云。 你可能会变成一只鸭子，或者……” “或者更糟。”德雷克说完。 佩特拉走上前去。“Zera可以飞到云端，我会确保她不会碰它，”她说。 “但是你们中必须有一个人举起魔法水晶来吸收魔法能量。” “我来拿着水晶，”德雷克说。 泰莎拿出能量水晶。 “你们俩能行的!”

Drake took it from her. "Thanks." He climbed onto Zera behind Petra. "Are you ready?" Drake asked Petra. "As ready as I'll ever be," she replied. "Zera, fly!" Zera flew up over the dueling wizards. The very center of the magic cloud whirled like a tornado. Flash! A lightning bolt streaked down from the cloud, and Petra steered Zera away from it. Then the dragon zoomed back toward the cloud's spinning center.

德雷克从她那里拿走了。“谢谢。” 他爬到佩特拉后面的泽拉身上。 “你准备好了吗?”德雷克问佩特拉。 “我已经准备好了，”她回答说。 “Zera,飞!”泽拉飞过正在决斗的巫师们。 魔法云的中心像龙卷风一样旋转着。 闪光!一道闪电从云层中划过，佩特拉把泽拉拉开了。 然后龙急速飞回云的旋转中心。

Drake held the Power Crystal above his head. "Nothing's happening!" he yelled. "We need to get closer!" Petra nodded and Zera flew up fast. One of Zera's heads almost touched the cloud! "Slow down, Zera!" Petra cried.

德雷克把能量水晶举过头顶。 “什么也没发生!” “我们得靠得更近!”佩特拉点点头，泽拉飞快地飞了上去。 泽拉的一个头差点碰到云!“慢点，泽拉!”佩特拉哭了。
