7 Ch7-The First Lava Dragons

CHAPTER 7 THE FIRST LAVA DRAGONS Drake's heart sank. "Where are those Lava Dragons? Did they go to another island? We need to find one!" Opeli looked at her mother. "Tell them the story." Kalama nodded. "Long ago, there were no humans on the islands of Noa. In the sky, flew birds and bats. In the ocean, swam fish and seals. And on the land, dragons roamed."

第一批熔岩龙德雷克的心一沉。 “那些熔岩龙在哪里?” 他们去另一个岛了吗? 我们得找一个!”欧佩莉看着她的母亲。 “给他们讲故事。”其族点点头。 “很久以前，诺亚岛上没有人类。 天空中飞着鸟儿和蝙蝠。 在海洋里，游动着鱼和海豹。 在陆地上，龙在漫游。”

Drake looked around at the trees and the flowers and the sandy beach. He tried to imagine dragons there. "The dragons were made of lava from the great volcano," Kalama said, pointing to the smoking mountain in the distance. "They glowed with fiery heat. Then, when humans came to the islands, the dragons attacked. They shot lava at them. The humans could not calm them. So they fought back."

德雷克环顾四周的树木、鲜花和沙滩。 他试着想象那里有龙。 “这些龙是由大火山的熔岩形成的，”卡拉玛指着远处冒着烟的山说。 它们散发着炽热的光芒。 然后，当人类来到这些岛屿时，龙开始攻击。 他们向他们喷射熔岩。人类无法让它们平静下来。 所以他们反击了。”

"Oh no!" Ana cried. "Did the humans..." "The humans did not harm them," Kalama said. "They knew the dragons were probably just afraid. So the most powerful healers used their magic to keep the dragons safe. They made the dragons part of the land." "What does that mean?" Drake asked. "Did they bury the dragons in the ground?"

“哦,不!”安娜哭了。“人类……” “人类没有伤害它们，”卡拉玛说。 “他们知道龙可能只是害怕。 所以最强大的治疗师用他们的魔法来保护龙的安全。 他们让龙成为这片土地的一部分。” “这是什么意思?”德雷克问道。 “他们把龙埋在地下了吗?”

"The dragons and the land are one," Kalama replied. Drake still wasn't sure what she meant. But he didn't want to give up. "Are there healers nearby? Can we ask them to bring back just one Lava Dragon?" Drake asked. "We will keep the dragon away from your people," Ana promised. Kalama shook her head. "No. The Lava Dragons must never return," she said. "I am sorry we cannot help you. Now please, you all must leave."

“龙和大地是一体的。”卡拉玛回答。 德雷克仍然不确定她是什么意思。 但他不想放弃。 “附近有医生吗?” 我们能让他们带回一条熔岩龙吗?”德雷克问道。 “我们会让巨龙远离你的人民。”安娜保证道。 卡拉玛摇了摇头。“没有。 熔岩龙不能再回来了，”她说。 “很抱歉，我们帮不了你。 现在，你们都必须离开。”

Opeli spoke up. "Please, Mother, may I take them to the papaya grove to get some fruit to eat first?" she asked. "They have come such a long way." Kalama thought about this. "You may," she said finally. "But then they must go." She turned and walked away.

奥佩利开口了。“妈妈，我可以先带他们去番木瓜林买些水果吃吗?”她问。 “他们已经走了很长的路。” 卡拉玛想了想。 “你可以，”她最后说。 “但是他们必须离开。”她转身走开了。

"The grove is this way," Opeli said, leading them away from the village. "We really shouldn't spend any more time here," Drake said. "We need to get back to Bracken and figure out if Lava Dragons can be found anywhere else." Opeli looked behind her. Her mother was far away from them now. "I might know a way to help you," she said. "I could be wrong, but I have a feeling I am right. Will you follow me?" "Let's go!" Drake said.

“树林在这边，”奥佩利说着，领着他们离开了村庄。 “我们真的不应该再在这里呆下去了，”德雷克说。 “我们得回到布拉肯，看看能不能在别的地方找到熔岩龙。” 奥佩利回头看了看。她的母亲现在离他们很远了。 “我也许有办法帮你，”她说。 “我可能错了，但我感觉我是对的。 你愿意跟我来吗?”“我们走吧!”德雷克说。
