13 Too Late

CHAPTER 13 TOO LATE? Worm began to glow green. Drake stood up. "Petra, hold my hand," Drake told her. "Then touch the hydra with your other hand." Petra nodded. Now Drake, Petra, and the hydra were all linked with Worm.

第13章太晚了？虫子开始发出绿光。 德雷克站了起来。“佩特拉，握住我的手，”德雷克对她说。 “那就用另一只手摸九头蛇” 佩特拉点了点头。德雷克，佩特拉和九头蛇都和虫子有关。

A green light flashed. Seconds later, they landed inside King Roland's bedroom. Queen Rose was sitting beside King Roland's bed. She jumped up when she saw Drake, Petra, Worm, and the hydra. "Guards!" she yelled. Drake stepped forward and bowed. "Please, Your Majesty. We know how to help the king. The hydra can heal him."

绿灯一闪。几秒钟后，他们降落在罗兰国王的卧室里。 罗斯王后正坐在罗兰国王的床边。 当她看到德雷克、佩特拉、沃姆和九头蛇时，她跳了起来。 “警卫！”她喊道。德雷克走上前去，鞠了一躬。 “陛下，求您了。我们知道如何帮助国王。 九头蛇能治好他。”

"Hmm," the queen said. "Griffith did say that the hydra might be the key to healing the king." Two guards ran in. They pointed spears at the dragons. Queen Rose held up her hand. "Lower your weapons," the queen said. "But stand your ground. If the dragons try to harm the king, take action."

“嗯，”王后说。“格里菲斯确实说过九头蛇可能是治愈国王的关键” 两个卫兵跑了进来。他们用长矛指着龙。 罗斯王后举起了手。 “放下武器。”王后说。 “但是要坚持你的立场。如果龙想伤害国王，就采取行动。”

Petra held the Dragon Stone in her hands. "You can do it," Drake told her, and she nodded. Petra closed her eyes tightly. "Please," she said to the hydra. "Please sing your song." The Dragon Stone began to glow. Then the hydra started to sing. Her beautiful song filled the room. Drake and Petra anxiously watched the king. He didn't look any better.

佩特拉手里拿着龙之石。 “你可以的，”德雷克告诉她，她点了点头。 佩特拉紧紧地闭上眼睛。 “求你了，”她对九头蛇说。 “请唱你的歌。”龙石开始发光。 然后九头蛇开始唱歌。 她美妙的歌声充满了整个房间。 德雷克和佩特拉焦急地看着国王。 他看起来也好不到哪里去。

Griffith rushed into the room just as the song faded. "It didn't work," Petra told Griffith. Griffith put a hand on her shoulder. "Drake was only sick for a few minutes before the hydra healed him," he said. "Perhaps the king's healing will take longer." Queen Rose nodded. "His hand already feels cooler to my touch," she said. "That gives me hope. And before this, I had none at all. So thank you."

格里菲思冲进房间时，歌声正好消失了。 “没用，”佩特拉告诉格里菲斯。 格里菲斯把手放在她的肩膀上。 “德雷克只病了几分钟，九头蛇就治好了他，”他说。 “也许国王的康复需要更长的时间。” 罗斯王后点点头。“他的手摸起来已经凉了，”她说。 “这给了我希望。在此之前，我什么都没有。 所以谢谢你。”

Griffith turned to Drake and Petra. "The king needs peace and quiet," he said. "Return the dragons to their caves. Then eat dinner and get to bed. I will stay here to watch over the king." "But what about the angry mob outside?" Drake asked. "The guards will keep order," Griffith said. "We must not worry." Drake nodded. He reached for Petra's hand. Drake touched Worm. A green light flashed. Then they landed back at the Dragon Caves.

格里菲斯转向德雷克和佩特拉。 “国王需要和平与安宁，”他说。 “把龙送回它们的洞穴。 然后吃晚饭，上床睡觉。 我要留在这里看守国王。” “但是外面愤怒的暴民怎么办？”德雷克问道。 “卫兵会维持秩序，”格里菲斯说。 “我们不必担心。”德雷克点点头。 他伸手去拉佩特拉的手。 德雷克碰了虫子。绿灯一闪。 然后他们降落在龙洞。
