4 Ch4-Jayana's Gazing Ball

CHAPTER 4 JAYANA'S GAZING BALL We must stop Astrid from casting the False Life spell!" Mina cried. Jayana walked over to her gazing ball. "Let's see where Astrid is right now," she said. Magic flowed from her fingers. The ball glowed with silver light. A picture appeared inside it. Drake saw Astrid riding a horse across a desert.

第四章贾亚娜的凝视球我们必须阻止阿斯特丽德施放假生命咒!”米娜哭了。 贾亚娜走向她的凝视球。 “让我们看看阿斯特丽德现在在哪儿，”她说。 魔法从她的指间流淌。 球发出银光。 里面出现了一幅画。 德雷克看见阿斯特丽德骑马穿过沙漠。

"Those are the red sands of Navid. And that is Mount Ruby behind her. But what is she doing there?" Jayana asked. Then she frowned. "Unless..." "Unless what?" Mina asked. "Unless she is heading to the Fortress of the Stone Dragon," Jayana said. "Why would she go there?" Drake asked. "That fortress is the most magical place in Navid," Jayana said. "It looks like she is about two days away." Drake remembered the mirror in his belt. He looked into the mirror. "Griffith?" he asked.

“那是纳维的红沙。 她身后就是红宝石山。 可是她在那儿干什么呢?”Jayana问道。 然后她皱起了眉头。“除非……” “除非什么?”米娜问道。 “除非她要去石龙要塞。” “她为什么要去那里?”德雷克问道。 “那座堡垒是纳维最神奇的地方，”贾亚娜说。 “看来她还要两天才能回来。” 德雷克想起了腰带上的镜子。 他看着镜子。 “格里菲思?”

The wizard's face appeared. "Drake! What have you found out?" "I'll let Jayana explain," Drake said, and he handed the mirror to the Head Wizard. Jayana told Griffith what they had learned Griffith frowned. "A False Life spell," he said. "Is there any magic powerful enough to undo it?" "I don't think so," Jayana said. "I will have my top wizards work on it. The spell takes very long to create, so we will have time." "I'll see what I can learn from my books," Griffith said. "In the meantime, Drake and Mina, go to the fortress. Warn the Dragon Master there that Astrid is on her way."

巫师的脸出现了。 “德雷克!你发现了什么?”“我让杰安娜解释一下。”德雷克说着，把镜子递给了巫师头儿。 贾安娜把他们了解到的情况告诉了格里菲斯。 “假命咒。”他说。 “有什么魔法能解除它吗?”“我不这么认为，”Jayana说。 “我会让我最好的巫师们来做的。 这个咒语需要很长时间才能创造出来，所以我们有时间。” 格里菲斯说:“我会看看我能从书中学到什么。” “与此同时，德雷克和米娜去堡垒。 通知那边的龙主，阿斯特丽德已经在路上了。”

Then the magic mirror went dark. "Let's go!" Mina said— and then she yawned. That made Drake yawn, too. Jayana looked out the window. A bright moon hung in the sky. "There is time for you and your dragons to rest and eat," Jayana said. "Worm can transport you to the fortress in the morning. You will still be at least one day ahead of Astrid." "Sleep would be nice," Drake said. "I do not need rest," Mina said, but she yawned again. She didn't argue when Jayana led them to the guest quarters. The wizards fed Worm and Frost. They brought Drake and Mina soup and bread.

然后魔镜变暗了。 “我们走吧!”米娜说——然后打了个哈欠。 德雷克也打了个哈欠。 贾安娜望着窗外。 一轮明月挂在天上。 “你和你的龙有时间休息和吃饭。” “虫子可以在早上把你送到堡垒。 你至少还会领先阿斯特丽德一天。” “睡觉就好了，”德雷克说。 “我不需要休息，”米娜说，但她又打了个哈欠。 当贾安娜带他们去客房时，她没有争辩。 巫师喂了虫子和冰霜。 他们给德雷克和米娜带来了汤和面包。

The Dragon Masters and their dragons got a good night's sleep. Jayana met them at the dragon stable in the morning. "My wizards and I will join you soon. But first, we need to find magic strong enough to fight Astrid," she told Drake and Mina. "If Astrid gets there before we do, hide! Do not approach her on your own. She is dangerous." "I am from the Land of the Far North," Mina said. "We do not hide."

龙主和他们的龙睡了个好觉。 早上，贾安娜在龙马厩见到了他们。 “我和我的巫师们很快就会加入你们。 但首先，我们需要找到足够强大的魔法来对抗Astrid，”她告诉Drake和Mina。 “如果阿斯特丽德比我们先到，就躲起来!”不要单独接近她。 她很危险。”“我来自遥远的北方，”米娜说。 “我们不躲藏。”

"Be careful, Mina," Jayana said. "And safe travels to you all!" Jayana waved as Worm transported Drake, Mina, and Frost to the Fortress of the Stone Dragon in Navid. When they got there, Drake felt the heat from the desert sand through his shoes. He squinted and looked up at the sturdy fortress. He counted eight tall towers, joined by high stone walls. A voice rang out from the nearest tower. "Who goes there?"

“小心点，米娜，”贾安娜说。 “祝大家一路平安!”当虫子把德雷克、米娜和冰霜运送到纳维的石龙要塞时，贾亚娜挥了挥手。 当他们到达那里时，德雷克通过他的鞋子感受到了沙漠沙子的热量。 他眯起眼睛，抬头看着坚固的堡垒。 他数了数有八座高塔，由高高的石墙相连。 一个声音从最近的塔上传来。 “谁去那儿?”
