11. THE ESCAPE

CHAPTER 11 THE ESCAPE Worm says he can't transport us out of here," Drake told the others. "I think it's because this is a magical space." "I told you," Vanad said, and he moved away from them, drifting. "We are not giving up," Jean insisted. "There must be some way out of this Shadow Realm."

第十一章逃生虫说他不能把我们送出去。”德雷克告诉其他人。 “我认为这是因为这是一个神奇的空间。” “我告诉过你们。”瓦纳德说，然后他离开了他们，随波随流。 “我们不会放弃的，”琼坚持说。 “一定有办法离开这个暗影王国。”

Drake and Jean looked around at the shadow desert. There was no sign of life in the distance. Above, the sky was covered in shadow. "What if Argent tried to fly out of here?" Jean asked Vanad drifted toward them again. "You cannot fly back to the real world. Only magic can break you out of here. And what's left of my wizard magic is not strong enough." Suddenly, Jean's eyes lit up. She turned to Drake. "It's time for a sword lesson!" "What? Now?" Drake replied. "Vanad's magic might not work, but your sword is magic, Drake," she reminded him. "You created a portal with it once, remember?"

德雷克和琼环顾四周的沙漠阴影。 远处没有生命的迹象。 头顶上，天空笼罩在阴影中。 “如果阿金特想从这里飞出去怎么办？”琼问，瓦纳德又向他们走来。 “你不能飞回现实世界。 只有魔法才能救你出去。 我剩下的魔法还不够强大。” 突然，琼的眼睛亮了起来。 她转向德雷克。“该上剑课了！”“什么? 现在呢?”德雷克答道。“瓦纳德的魔法可能不起作用，但你的剑是魔法，德雷克。”她提醒他。 “你曾经用它创建过一个传送门，记得吗？”

Drake's eyes widened. He'd made a portal before to travel from the evil wizard Maldred's magical hideout to the Silver Lair. "The sword is connected to Argent's energy," he said. "Right!" Jean agreed. "And Argent just used his powers outside the Temple of the Shadow Dragon. I think the sword can connect to that energy." Drake held the silver sword in both hands. "It's worth a try," he said. He moved the sword in big circles in front of him. He made circle after circle.

德雷克的眼睛睁大了。他以前做过一个传送门，从邪恶巫师玛德雷德的魔法藏身处到银穴。 “这把剑与阿金特的能量有关，”他说。 “没错!”琼同意了。“阿金特刚刚在暗影龙神庙外使用了他的力量。 我认为这把剑可以连接到那种能量。” 德雷克双手握着银剑。 “值得一试，”他说。 他把剑在身前划了一大圈。 他绕了一个又一个圈。

Finally, the air swirled with silver light, and a portal appeared. Through it, Drake could see the steps of the temple. "You did it, Drake!" Jean cried. "Let's go!" Jean and Argent jumped through. Drake and Worm followed. But Vanad did not. Drake looked back through the portal. "Vanad, hurry!" he urged the wizard. "I can't go back," Vanad replied, and his body flickered once more. "I am a shadow now. Go! Find the Star Dragon! Save Aruna and Chaya— and the world..."

最后，银色的光芒在空中旋转，一道传送门出现了。 透过它，德雷克可以看到神庙的台阶。 “你做到了，德雷克！”让哭了。 “我们走吧!”琼和阿金特跳了过去。 德雷克和沃姆紧随其后。但瓦纳德没有。 德雷克透过传送门回头看了看。 “瓦纳德，快点！”他催促巫师。 “我回不去了。”瓦纳德回答，他的身体又闪了一下。 “我现在是一个影子。走吧!找到星龙！救救阿鲁纳和查雅——还有这个世界……”

"Vanad, no!" Drake cried, but the wizard's body transformed into a wispy gray figure. Then the portal closed. "He... he turned into a shadow," Drake said, still stunned. He remembered the time he had stuck himself with a magical shadow thorn. He had turned into a shadow, and it had felt very strange.

“Vanad,没有!”德雷克哭了，但巫师的身体变成了一个纤细的灰色身影。 然后传送门关闭了。“他… 他变成了一个影子，”德雷克说，仍然惊呆了。 他想起有一次他被一根神奇的影子刺扎到了自己身上。 他变成了一个影子，这感觉很奇怪。

I can't imagine being a shadow forever, he thought. Jean grabbed his arm. "Drake, we must get to Vanad's house and find that scroll! Drake nodded, and he, Jean, Worm, and Argent headed to the wizard's home. Behind them, twelve shadow phantoms followed, reaching toward them with ghostly arms...

我无法想象永远做一个影子，他想。 琼抓住他的胳膊。“德雷克，我们必须去瓦纳德家，找到卷轴！”德雷克点了点头，他、吉恩、虫子和阿金特向巫师的家走去。 在他们身后，十二个影子幽灵跟在后面，用幽灵般的手臂伸向他们……
