5. DARPAN

CHAPTER 5 DARPAN Jean and I will head to Sindhu right away," Drake told the Head Wizard. "Can you message Griffith for us?" "Yes. Our magic may not work, but our pigeons still do," Jayana replied. "I will tell Griffith where you are going." "Great!" Drake said, and he and Jean got ready to transport. "Worm, take us to the Temple of the Shadow Dragon in Sindhu!" They transported in a flash of green light.

第五章DARPAN， Jean和我马上去Sindhu，”Drake告诉首席巫师。 “你能帮我们给格里菲斯传个信吗？”“是的。 我们的魔法可能不起作用，但我们的鸽子仍然可以。” “我去告诉格里菲思你要去哪儿。” “太好了!”德雷克说，他和简准备好了运输。 “虫子，带我们去辛德胡的影龙神庙！”他们在一道绿光中移动。

Drake blinked. Here, the strange shadow completely covered the sky. In the near distance, Drake could make out the temple and the Shadow Dragon.

德雷克眨了眨眼睛。在这里，奇怪的影子完全覆盖了天空。 在近处，德雷克可以辨认出神庙和影子龙。

They had landed in a village. One- and two- story buildings lined the street they were on, but all the doors and shutters were closed. "Where is everybody?" Drake wondered.

他们降落在一个村庄。 他们所在的街道两旁是一幢幢一层或两层的楼房，但所有的门和百叶窗都关着。 “人都到哪儿去了？”德雷克很好奇。

"Maybe they're afraid of the shadow?" Jean replied. Then she pointed down the road. "Look, there's a bright light in that building." The Dragon Masters and their dragons made their way toward the small building at the end of the road. When they reached the door, which was partly open, Drake noticed stars and moons carved into the wood. Is this a wizard's house? he guessed. Jean knocked on the door. "Hello? Is someone here?" "Come in!" a voice called from inside. Drake turned to the dragons. "You two wait here."

“也许他们害怕影子？”琼答道。 然后她指着路的尽头。 “看，那栋楼里有一盏明灯。” 龙的主人和他们的龙向路尽头的小建筑走去。 当他们到达半开着的门时，德雷克注意到木头上雕刻着星星和月亮。 这是巫师的房子吗？他猜到了。 琼敲了敲门。“喂? 有人在吗？”“进来！”一个声音从里面传来。 德雷克转向龙。 “你们俩在这儿等着。”

The Dragon Masters stepped into the house. Right away, Drake knew his guess had been right. The place was filled with shelves of books, jars, and plants. A young, dark-haired boy stood by a desk. The boy eyed the Dragon Masters' swords. "Are you soldiers? If you've come about the sky-shadow, it's no use," he said.

龙主们走进了房子。 德雷克立刻意识到他的猜测是正确的。 这个地方摆满了书架上的书、罐子和植物。 一个年轻的黑发男孩站在桌子旁边。 男孩看着龙师的剑。 “你们是军人吗？”“如果你是从天影附近来的，那是没有用的。”他说。

"I'm Jean, and this is Drake," Jean explained. "We're Dragon Masters. We've come from far away to try to stop the Shadow Dragon. What do you know about it?" "Well, the dragon's name is Chaya, and his Dragon Master is my sister, Aruna. I'm Darpan," the boy replied. A sad look crossed his face. "But like I said, there is no way to stop Chaya. King Vikram's army tried and failed. I even tried to reason with Aruna, but she wouldn't listen." "Is there a wizard we could speak with? Maybe the one who lives here?" Drake asked. "Aruna's wizard disappeared around the same time Chaya began to create the sky-shadow," Darpan continued. "I came here, to his home, looking for answers. All I know is that something terrible has happened to my sister—and to Chaya!"

“我叫珍，这是德雷克，”珍解释道。 “我们是龙主。我们远道而来是为了阻止暗龙。 你知道些什么？”“嗯，这条龙的名字叫恰雅，它的龙主人是我妹妹阿鲁娜。 我是达潘。”男孩回答。 他脸上掠过悲伤的表情。 “但就像我说的，没有办法阻止Chaya。 维克拉姆国王的军队尝试了，但失败了。 我甚至试着跟阿鲁娜讲道理，可她就是不听。” “有巫师可以和我们谈谈吗？” 也许是住在这里的那个？”德雷克问道。 “在恰雅开始创造天影的同时，阿鲁纳的巫师也消失了。”达潘继续说道。 “我来到这里，来到他的家，寻找答案。 我只知道我的妹妹——还有查雅——出了什么可怕的事！”
