5 Ch5-Into The Fortress

CHAPTER 5 INTO THE FORTRESS I am Drake, and this is my dragon, Worm!" Drake called out. His voice echoed across the stone fortress. "And I am Mina of the Far North. This is my dragon, Frost!" Mina announced. "Can we come in? We are friendly. We are here with a warning!" Drake said.

第五章进入要塞我是德雷克，这是我的龙，虫子!”德雷克喊道。 他的声音在石头堡垒中回响。 “我是遥远北方的米娜。 这是我的龙，弗罗斯特!”米娜宣布。 “我们能进来吗?”我们很友好。 我们是来警告你的!”德雷克说。

"How do I know you're telling the truth?" the voice replied. Drake shaded his eyes as he looked toward the far-right tower. He saw a boy with dark hair. A green Dragon Stone glittered around the boy's neck. "We are Dragon Masters, just like you are," Drake replied. He held up his own Dragon Stone to show him. The boy frowned. "How can I be sure that you are friendly?" Beside the boy, Drake saw a tall gray dragon.

“我怎么知道你说的是真话?”那个声音回答。 德雷克遮住眼睛，望向极右翼的塔楼。 他看见一个黑发男孩。 一块绿色的龙石在男孩的脖子上闪闪发光。 “我们是龙大师，就像你们一样。”德雷克回答。 他举起自己的龙石给他看。 男孩皱起眉头。“我怎么能确定你是友好的呢?”在男孩旁边，德雷克看到了一条高大的灰色龙。

That must be the Stone Dragon, Drake thought. He called up to the boy, "Worm will tell your dragon that we mean no harm." "Have Worm do it, then!" the boy cried. Drake turned to Worm. "Please tell the Stone Dragon that we are not going to cause any trouble." Worm gazed up at the dragon. After a moment, Drake saw the boy's Dragon Stone glow. His dragon was communicating with him. The boy slowly nodded. "Shaka says I can trust you. I will let you in." The boy and dragon disappeared from the tower. Drake heard a groan in front of them as the stone door slowly began to slide to the side.

那一定是石龙，德雷克心想。 他对男孩喊道:“虫子会告诉你的龙，我们没有恶意。” “那就让虫子来吧!”男孩叫道。 德雷克转向沃姆。“请告诉石龙，我们不会制造任何麻烦。” 虫子抬头看着龙。 过了一会儿，德雷克看到男孩的龙石在发光。 他的龙在和他交流。 男孩慢慢地点了点头。“沙卡说我可以信任你。 我让你进去。”男孩和龙从塔上消失了。 德雷克听到他们面前传来一声呻吟，石门开始慢慢地向一边滑动。

The Dragon Master from the tower waited for them. Next to him, Shaka's body was glowing with gray energy. The stone door seemed to be sliding on its own. Is the Stone Dragon moving the door with her powers? Drake wondered.

塔上的龙主在等着他们。 在他旁边，沙卡的身体散发着灰色的能量。 那扇石门似乎在自己滑动。 石龙会用她的力量把门打开吗? 德雷克很好奇。

Then he, Mina, Worm, and Frost stepped into the fortress. Drake got a good look at Shaka. She had a strong, sturdy shape. Her gray scales reminded him of stones. The sharp spikes going down her back looked like dark crystals. The Stone Dragon began to glow again, and the door slid closed behind them. "Whoa!" Drake cried. "Can Shaka move things with her mind? Worm, my Earth Dragon, can do that."

然后，他、米娜、虫子和弗罗斯特走进了堡垒。 德雷克看清了沙卡的样子。 她有一个强壮、结实的体形。 她的灰色鳞片使他想起了石头。 她背上的尖刺看起来像黑色的水晶。 石龙又开始发光了，门在他们身后关上了。 “哇!”德雷克哭了。“沙卡能用意念移动东西吗?” 蚯蚓，我的土龙，可以做到这一点。”

"Shaka can connect to anything made of stone," the boy replied, and he smiled for the first time. "I am Caspar." "Jayana, the Head Wizard, told us that this place is very magical," Drake said. "It is," Caspar said. "Let me show you the Garden of the Beasts." They followed Caspar across a courtyard. Giant rocks rose up from the ground. Some of the rocks were bigger than the dragons. Caspar led them into a different courtyard. Scattered across the ground were bones. Hundreds of bones. And the bones were huge. Some of them were as long as Worm, and as thick as a tree trunk!

“沙卡可以连接任何石头做的东西，”男孩回答，他第一次笑了。 “我是卡斯帕。”“巫师长贾亚娜告诉我们，这个地方非常神奇，”德雷克说。 “是的，”卡斯帕说。“我带你去看看野兽的花园吧。” 他们跟着卡斯帕穿过一个院子。 巨大的岩石从地面升起。 有些岩石比龙还大。 卡斯帕把他们带到另一个院子里。 地上散落着骨头。 几百块骨头。而且骨头很大。 其中一些像蠕虫一样长，像树干一样粗!
