10. WE'RE DOOMED!

CHAPTER 10 WE'RE DOOMED! As the wizard's magic circle of light faded, Jean gasped. "Aruna fed the Balam seed to Chaya?!" "Yes. Aruna believed that the seed's power would not work on dragons—only humans," Vanad said. "But the seed did work on Chaya— in a surprising way. The seed is supercharging Chaya's dragon powers. Chaya is absorbing wizard power from around the world."

第十章我们完蛋了！当巫师的魔法光圈消失时，琼倒吸了一口气。 “阿鲁纳把巴兰的种子喂给了查雅？！”“是的。 阿鲁纳认为种子的力量对龙不起作用，只对人类起作用。” “但这种种子确实在查雅身上起了作用——以一种令人惊讶的方式。 种子增强了查雅的龙的力量。 恰雅正在吸收世界各地的魔法力量。”

"We've seen it happen," Jean said. Vanad nodded. "And now Chaya can do things no other Shadow Dragon can do." Drake looked around. "Like trap people in this Shadow Realm." "And cast the whole world into shadow, and make shadow phantoms," Jean added.

“我们见过这种情况，”琼说。 Vanad点点头。“现在查雅可以做其他影龙做不到的事了。” 德雷克环顾四周。“就像暗影王国里的陷阱一样。” “把整个世界都笼罩在阴影里，使阴影成为幻影。”琼补充说。

"Yes," Vanad said. "And because Chaya and Aruna have a strong connection, Aruna has become filled with evil energy, too." Drake shuddered. "That's scary." "The evil of the seed has overtaken them," Vanad said. "My magic could not stop them. Then Chaya banished me here, to this Shadow Realm." The wizard's body flickered again. He began to walk away, his feet floating over the sand. Drake tapped him on the shoulder.

“是的，”瓦纳德说。“因为查雅和阿鲁纳有很强的联系，阿鲁纳也变得充满了邪恶的能量。” 德雷克战栗。“这是可怕的。” “邪恶的种子已经征服了他们，”瓦纳德说。 “我的魔法阻止不了他们。 然后查雅把我放逐到这里，这个暗影王国。” 巫师的身体又闪了一下。 他开始走开，他的脚漂浮在沙滩上。 德雷克拍了拍他的肩膀。

"We need more information," Drake said. "When we get out of here, how do we stop Chaya? Our dragons' powers don't work against him." "We will never escape, but I will tell you what I know," Vanad replied "First, if wizards all over the world stop trying to perform magic, they will stop feeding Chaya. He will still be strong, but he won't grow stronger." It's a good thing Jayana told the wizards in Belerion to stop using magic, Drake thought. "Then, there is just one dragon who can stop Chaya," Vanad continued. "A Star Dragon."

“我们需要更多的信息，”德雷克说。 “我们离开这里后，怎么阻止查雅？” 我们龙的力量对付不了他。” “我们永远逃不掉，但我要告诉你我所知道的，”瓦纳德回答，“首先，如果全世界的巫师都停止尝试施魔法，他们就会停止给查雅喂食。 他仍然会很强壮，但他不会变得更强壮。” 杰安娜告诉比利里昂的巫师们不要再使用魔法，这是件好事，德雷克想。 “那么，只有一条龙可以阻止Chaya，”Vanad继续说。 “一条星龙。”

"I didn't know Star Dragons existed!" Drake remarked. "They live high, high in the sky," Vanad said, and he got a dreamy look on his face as he gazed above. "Focus, please, wizard," Jean said. "How can we find a Star Dragon?" Vanad shook his head again. "A Star Dragon must come to you," he replied. "There is a scroll in my home that tells how to summon a Star Dragon. I was studying it when Chaya banished me." "Then let's get out of here and study that scroll!" Jean said.

“我不知道有星龙的存在！”德雷克说。 “他们住在很高很高的天空，”瓦纳德说，他凝视着天空，脸上露出梦幻般的神情。 “请集中精神，巫师。”琼说。 “我们怎样才能找到星龙呢？”瓦纳德又摇了摇头。 “一定要有一条星龙来找你，”他回答。 “我家里有一卷卷轴，讲的是如何召唤星龙。 恰雅驱逐我时，我正在研究它。” “那么我们离开这里，去研究那书卷吧！”琼说。

"Don't you think I've tried to leave here?" Vanad asked. "It can't be done. We're doomed!" The wizard's body rippled. "Er, Vanad, do you know that you're... flickering?" Drake asked. "Of course I know!" the wizard snapped "I have been in this world so long that I'm turning into a shadow!" "Oh no!" Jean cried. The wizard sat down on a rock. "It is my fate," he said with a sigh. "I accept it because of the terrible part I played in all this. But I am sorry that it is now your fate, too."

“你不认为我曾试图离开这里吗？”Vanad问道。 “这是不可能的。我们注定!”巫师的身体泛起涟漪。 “嗯，瓦纳德，你知道你…… 闪烁的吗?”德雷克问道。“我当然知道！”巫师厉声说，“我在这个世界上呆了这么久，都快变成影子了！”“哦,不!”让哭了。 巫师坐在一块石头上。 “这是我的命运，”他叹了口气说。 “我接受它，因为我在这一切中扮演了可怕的角色。 但我很遗憾，这也是你的命运。”
