5. THE LABYRINTH

CHAPTER 5 THE LABYRINTH The Light of Truth swirled. The colors formed a sentence: YOU SPEAK THE TRUTH. The light faded from Lysa's chest. Rune grinned at Drake and Darma. A moment later, Drake heard Worm. Rune says: The secret of the labyrinth is that it holds a Star Flute in its maze of walls. With a Star Flute, you can summon the Star Dragon. But traveling through the maze will not be easy. It is full of traps and creatures that guard it.

第五章迷宫真理之光旋转着。 这些颜色组成了一个句子：你说的是真话。 莱莎胸口的光芒渐渐黯淡。 符文朝德雷克和达玛咧嘴一笑。 过了一会儿，德雷克听到了沃姆的声音。 符文说：迷宫的秘密在于它在迷宫般的墙壁上放着一只星笛。 用星笛，你可以召唤星龙。 但是穿过迷宫并不容易。 它充满了陷阱和守卫它的生物。

"Will you come into the labyrinth with us?" Drake asked Rune. Rune says: Yes. Lysa and I want to help you. I am good at solving puzzles. And we will need Lysa's light to reach the flute. But you will only have until dawn to find the flute. If you fail, the maze will never let the four of you in again. Darma nodded. "Then we will not fail," he said simply. Drake headed for the castle doors. "Let's enter the labyrinth!" Rune shook his head. Rune says: The labyrinth doors will open at sunset. Then Rune pointed at Worm and Hema. Rune asks: While we are waiting, can you tell me about your dragons? Lysa is the only dragon I have ever seen—until now.

“你愿意和我们一起进入迷宫吗？”德雷克问符文。 符文说：是的。莱莎和我想帮你。 我擅长解谜。 我们需要莱莎的光才能到达魔笛。 但你要等到天亮才能找到笛子。 如果你们失败了，迷宫就不会再让你们四个进去了。 达玛点了点头。“那么我们就不会失败，”他简单地说。 德雷克朝城堡大门走去。 “我们进迷宫吧！”符文摇了摇头。 符文说：迷宫的门将在日落时打开。 然后，符文指着Worm和Hema。 符文问：在我们等待的时候，你能告诉我你的龙吗？ 莱莎是我唯一见过的龙——直到现在。

Drake grinned. "We can show you. Worm, lift me up!" Worm's body glowed green, and a green light began to shine around Drake. Slowly, Worm lifted Drake into the air, using the powers of his mind. Rune's eyes got wide. Darma followed Drake's lead. "Hema, fetch me a book!" he instructed.

德雷克咧嘴一笑。“我们可以展示给你看。 虫子，把我拉起来！”Worm的身体发出绿光，一道绿光开始在Drake周围闪耀。 慢慢地，蠕虫用他的意念把德雷克举到空中。 符文睁大了眼睛。达玛跟着德雷克走。 “妈，给我拿本书来！”

Gold light flashed, and Hema transformed into a gold, fluffy dog. Hema bounded across the castle, grabbed a book from the shelf, and brought it to Rune. The boy smiled and raised his hand with his thumb, index, and middle fingers facing upward Then he snapped twice and pointed at Hema. "That must be the sign for dog!" Darma cried, and he repeated it as Hema transformed back into a dragon. Drake copied the boys. "This is a fun language," he remarked. Then he pointed at Worm. "What is the sign for 'dragon'?" His Dragon Stone glowed

金光一闪，盒马变成了一只金色的毛茸茸的狗。 赫马蹦蹦跳跳地穿过城堡，从书架上抓起一本书，拿给了符文。 男孩笑了笑，举起大拇指、食指和中指朝上的手，然后啪地打了两声，指着盒马。 “那一定是狗的标志！”达玛哭了，他重复着，盒马变回了一条龙。 德雷克模仿男孩们。“这是一门有趣的语言，”他说。 然后他指着虫子。“‘龙’的标志是什么？”他的龙石闪闪发光

Rune put his right hand in front of his mouth, with his palm down and his fingers forward. Then he wiggled his fingers and moved his hand forward. "Oh, it's like when Vulcan breathes fire!" Drake cried. He and Darma both tried it. "I don't think I'm wiggling my fingers right," Drake said "It takes practice," Darma told him. "The monks were patient when they taught me their sign language." "Rune, can you teach us more signs while we're waiting for the sun to set?" Drake asked. Rune grinned, and the dragons shared his reply. I will teach you signs we can use in the maze!

符文把右手放在嘴前，手掌朝下，手指朝前。 然后他扭动了一下手指，把手向前伸了伸。 “就像火神喷火一样”德雷克哭了。 他和达玛都试过了。 “我觉得我的手指摆动得不对，”德雷克说。“这需要练习，”达玛告诉他。 “僧侣们教我手语时很有耐心。” “符文，在我们等待太阳落山的时候，你能教我们更多的符号吗？”德雷克问道。 符文咧嘴一笑，龙们也附和了他的回答。 我会教你在迷宫中可以使用的标志！
