In Search of the Fairy. Book 3. Familiar of the Tempest and Dragons of the River

Excerpts from the book:
Tanya woke up at the edge of the forest. It was midsummer in the place where she found herself. There was unbearable heat all around. To such an extent that the leaves on the trees were touched by yellowness. Some of the dry leaves fell to the ground.
Tanya didn't know where she was. The girl had no idea: was she in the World of Fairies or not?
“I thought the Familiar of the Tempest would kill me or eat me, but it looks like I was transported somewhere again,” she mused. “Did the fairy’s spell really work? Did my unawakened magical diamond help me? Or is there another reason? Or maybe, in fact, the Familiar doesn’t kill anyone? But it just takes me to distant lands... Maybe I was transported to another magical world?”
Tanya's assumption turned out to be correct. The place she found herself in was not the World of People or the World of Fairies. It turned out to be a distant World of River Dragons. But of course, Tanya didn’t know about this yet.
After thinking a little about the current situation, the girl, just in case, tried to contact Emerald again using her earring. The earring didn't work.
Tanya decided: “I’m probably still in the past. And I don't know how to contact anyone I know. In the World of Fairies, I learned how to use magic mirrors — to do this, I just had to click on special symbols on the frame of the mirror. And then I had to say the special magic identifier of who I wanted to contact. If this place is still the World of Fairies, then I can ask someone for a magic mirror to contact the mansion of Duke Lime, where Petya is now in the guise of Raphael. Or I can contact Princess Snow Rose... But if I’m in another world, then that’s a problem... But in any case, I can’t stand in one place and do nothing. I need to at least understand: where am I? And if possible, I need to find some help. Although I have no idea how to do this...”
After some thought, Tanya, just in case, picked up a stick lying at the edge of the forest. Then she tried to leave the forest. One might say that she was lucky: soon the forest began to thin out, and she found herself on a wide road. Ahead, a little further away, a certain village was visible.
“If this is not the World of Fairies, then I’m unlikely to understand the local language! But maybe I can explain myself with gestures?” she thought. “If this world is technologically advanced, I will probably be mistaken for a lost tourist and taken to the local police station. If this world is similar to the Middle Ages, then I will try, using drawings on the ground, to depict a sad story about how ‘an evil witch sent me far, far from home’. If I'm lucky, and there are magicians in this world, perhaps they will be able to cast a spell so that we can understand each other..”
Tanya was confused. She was afraid of the locals: it was unknown how they would react to a stranger. humans? Or are there no humans in this world at all?
“But still, I have no choice,” Tanya finally decided to herself. “I need to go to the village...” That's what Tanya did.
Coming closer, the girl realized that the village, in its appearance, resembled a settlement described in a textbook on ancient history.
There was a small square in the middle of the village. Now a large number of people are crowded on it. On the platform, in the middle of the square, stood a man in white spacious robes. He said something, but Tanya could not understand his words. Otherwise she would have immediately started running away. For the man, and this was the local Priest, said:
“Villagers! We have been tormented by heat and drought since the beginning of spring! If it doesn't rain soon, our crops will die! And we won't survive the winter!”
“But what should we do, Priest?” one of the villagers timidly asked.
“Of course, we need to perform the ancient ritual of sacrifice!”
