6. A GENTLE DRAGON

CHAPTER 6 A GENTLE DRAGON Tell us what happened to Aruna and Chaya," Jean said. Darpan nodded. "The change in them both came suddenly," he began. "My sister is eight years old—only two years younger than I. She was always a smart, kind girl." Drake thought of the red eyes of the girl in Griffith's gazing ball and shivered. Her eyes did not look kind at all.

“告诉我们阿鲁纳和查雅发生了什么事，”琼说。 Darpan点点头。“他们俩的变化都是突然发生的，”他开始说。 “我妹妹八岁了，只比我小两岁。 她一直是一个聪明、善良的女孩。” 德雷克想到格里菲思凝视舞会上那个女孩的红眼睛，不禁打了个寒颤。 她的眼睛一点也不仁慈。

"I was so happy when she became a Dragon Master," Darpan continued. "I knew she would be great at it. And she was. Aruna moved into the Temple of the Shadow Dragon to train with Chaya. They had a strong connection from the start." "Did Chaya do something to change your sister?" Jean asked. Darpan shook his head. "No, Chaya was sweet and gentle. He would cast shadows to cool down the villagers harvesting their crops in the hot sun. And he never left Aruna's side. She would always say, 'Chaya follows me around just like a shadow'"

“当她成为龙大师时，我很高兴，”达潘继续说道。 “我知道她会做得很好。 她确实是。阿鲁纳搬到了暗影龙神殿，和查雅一起训练。 他们从一开始就有很强的联系。” “查雅做了什么改变你妹妹的事吗？”琼问。 达潘摇了摇头。“不，Chaya很可爱，很温柔。 他会投下阴影给在烈日下收割庄稼的村民降温。 他从未离开阿鲁纳的身边。 她总是说，‘Chaya像影子一样跟着我。’”

"That is very sweet," Drake remarked. "Yes, but now they are both so different," Darpan said. "They have become very strange, and... evil." "We noticed their eyes are red," Drake said. "Could they have been cursed?" Darpan nodded. "All I know for sure is that one day, the sky-shadow began to flow from Chaya's nose." "It has reached our lands," Jean told him. Darpan gazed at the sky. "The world cannot survive this sky-shadow. Plants will die. People will starve." Drake looked at Jean and knew they were thinking the same thing.

“这太贴心了，”德雷克说。 “是的，但现在他们两个是如此不同，”达潘说。 “他们变得很奇怪，而且…… 邪恶。”“我们注意到他们的眼睛是红色的，”德雷克说。 “他们会不会被诅咒了？”Darpan点点头。 “我唯一确定的是，有一天，天影开始从查雅的鼻子里流出来。” “它已经到达了我们的土地，”琼告诉他。 达潘凝视着天空。“这个世界无法在这个天空阴影中生存。 植物会死亡。人们会饿死的。” 德雷克看着琼，知道他们在想同样的事情。

"Jean and I will go to the temple," Drake said. "My dragon, Worm, can try to communicate with Chaya. If we find out what happened, maybe we can fix it." "That is a good plan," Darpan replied. "I will keep looking for answers here." Drake, Jean, and their dragons walked through the village to the temple steps. Drake pointed to the top of the temple. "Worm, try to communicate with Chaya," he said. Then he heard Worm's voice inside his head. No time!

“简和我要去神庙，”德雷克说。 “我的龙，虫，可以试着和Chaya交流。 如果我们找出发生了什么，也许我们可以解决它。” “这是个好计划，”达潘回答。 “我会继续在这里寻找答案。” 德雷克、琼和他们的龙穿过村庄来到寺庙的台阶上。 德雷克指着神庙的顶部。 “虫子，试着和Chaya沟通，”他说。 然后他听到蠕虫的声音在他的脑海里。 没有时间!

The Shadow Dragon flew down from the roof, flapping his feathered wings. He had stopped making the sky-shadow, but it still hung overhead. Aruna rode on Chaya's back. The eyes of the girl and of the dragon blazed red. "Stand back, attackers!" Aruna yelled.

暗影龙拍打着羽毛翅膀，从屋顶上飞了下来。 他已经停止制造天影，但它仍然悬在头顶上。 阿鲁纳骑在恰雅的背上。 女孩和龙的眼睛都闪着红光。 “攻击者，后退！”一边喊道。
