大雨如注，落石与泥沙阻断了柯莱的归途。
The rain was pouring. A surge of rock, earth, and debris had blocked Collei's way back.
柯莱在山崖下燃起篝火，试图温暖身旁止不住发抖的女孩。
Collei lit a bonfire by the cliff, trying to warm the shivering girl next to her.
这片河谷离她日常巡逻的林地足有一日的路程。如果只有她一个人，冒雨回去也不是不可能。
This river valley would require a full day's journey from the woodlands that were the domain of her usual patrols. If she were here all by herself, it would not be entirely impossible to get back in this rain.
但要再带上一名在林中迷失多时，饥寒交迫的孩子，就不是现在的柯莱力所能及的了。
饥寒交迫wracked by cold and hunger
But now that she had a child with her, wracked by cold and hungerafter being lost in the woods for a long time, she had to wait.
女孩小脸苍白，额头滚烫，嘴里含糊地念叨着妈妈。
The girl looked pale, her forehead boiled, and she kept murmuring her mother's name.
柯莱还记得孩子的母亲，她在化城郭焦急又绝望地寻求帮助——那似曾相识的神情，像是期盼着受苦的不是女儿而是自己。
Collei still remembered the girl's mother, who had been anxiously and desperately seeking help in Gandharva Ville — she recalled the look on her face, the look of one who wished that she was in suffering instead of her daughter. Collei knew that look.
她们随商队出行路过河谷，扎营休息时女儿贪玩跑开，误入深林。商队发现孩子走失立刻全力搜救，却还是一无所获。
The family had been traveling with a caravan to cross the river valley. As they were camping and resting, her playful daughter had run off, straying into the deep forest. As soon as the caravan noticed that the child was missing, they tried their best searching for her, but it was all in vain.
无奈之下，母亲只得返回化城郭求救。
In desperation, the mother had to return to Gandharva Ville to look for help.
最近提纳里带着各位巡林员前辈到城内议事，眼下情况之危急，已不容柯莱等师父返回。大雨冲刷之下，搜救犬也无法仰赖。
Recently, Tighnari had been attending meetings in the city with other Forest Rangers, and the situation before her was critical — Collei could not wait for any of them to return. Nor could she rely on the search and rescue dogs during such heavy rain.
她抄起行囊弓箭，只身前往林中。
So she immediately grabbed her pack, bow, and arrows, before diving into the forest alone.
与此同时，潜藏在雷鸣与落雨声中的野兽的低吼，逐渐近了。
At that moment, the occasional low growl against the sound of thunder and rain told her that there were beasts approaching.
柯莱忍不住想起一些烦心往事。最不愿面对的回忆，在此刻涌上心头。
Collei could not help but recall some disturbing experiences from her past. Old memories came flooding back, the memories she least wanted to face.
雨过天明，接到消息的提纳里丝毫没有停歇，匆忙赶来。
But the rain would pass, and after receiving the news, Tighnari rushed over without taking any breaks.
山崖下一路都是打斗的痕迹，远处倒着几头猛兽，柯莱与女孩则依偎着彼此的肩头安然睡着。
Traces of fighting could be found all the way along the cliff. Several beasts lay fallen in the distance, while Collei and the girl slept peacefully on each other's shoulders.
提纳里心弦一紧。他很清楚，此前的柯莱并没有这般身手——除非她引动了不该动用的力量。
Tighnari's heart seized up in his chest. He was well aware that Collei was not capable of doing all this — unless she had wielded power that should not be unleashed.
这无异于饮鸩止渴，还会加重柯莱的病情，必须快些联系大风纪官…
It was like drinking poison to quench thirst, and it would surely aggravate Collei's condition. He must contact the General Mahamatra right away...
提纳里的脚步声惊醒了柯莱。她连忙比划手势，请师父小声些，不要吵醒身边女孩。
Tighnari's footsteps awakened Collei. She hurriedly gestured to ask her master to quiet down so as not to wake the girl next to her.
提纳里忧心地查看她的情况：「柯莱…你是不是…」
Tighnari checked upon her worriedly, "Collei... Did you..."
柯莱摇摇头，随后抬起手，松开紧攥了一夜的拳头。
Collei shook her head. She raised a hand and released the fist that had been clenched all night.
「师父，我变强了哦！我不会让大家的努力就这么白费——从今天起，由我来保护大家。」
"Master, I've become stronger! I won't let anyone's efforts go to waste — from now on, I'll protect everyone."
一枚神之眼，在她手中安静地绽放着光芒。
It was a Vision, silently glowing in her hand.
