15 The Ember Stone

CHAPTER 15 THE EMBER STONE Blaze dropped to the ground. She was covered in ash. Skyla brushed Blaze off. "I'm so glad you're okay!" she said, hugging Blaze. "How are you okay?"

第十五章灰烬石的火焰落在地上。 她浑身是灰。斯凯拉把火焰拂开。 “我真高兴你没事！”她拥抱着布雷兹说。 “你怎么还好？”

"Blaze's feathers must have protected her," Tag said. He fed Blaze sips of water from the water pouch. "Remember what Grey told us—her feathers are stronger than any armor. Besides, firehawks are born in flame. I guess lava can't hurt her." "That's why only a firehawk could find the Ember Stone—it was hidden inside a fiery volcano!" Skyla said. Blaze gave a little peep and smiled. "And it turns out you can fly!" Tag said.

“火焰的羽毛一定保护了她，”泰格说。 他从水袋里舀水给布雷兹喝。 “记住格雷对我们说过的话——她的羽毛比任何盔甲都坚固。 此外，火鹰是在火焰中诞生的。 我猜熔岩伤不了她。” “这就是为什么只有火鹰才能找到烬石的原因——它藏在一座炽热的火山里！”Skyla说。 布雷兹轻轻地偷看了一下，笑了。 “结果你会飞！”泰格说。

Tag and Skyla crowded around to examine the Ember Stone. Skyla squinted. "It's smaller than I thought it would be." "Yes," agreed Tag, remembering the rock paintings. "This stone is small with sharp, jagged edges. But the Ember Stone in the painting was large and round."

泰格和斯凯拉挤在一起检查烬之石。 Skyla眯起了双眼。“它比我想象的要小。” “是的，”泰格同意道，想起了岩画。 “这块石头很小，边缘锋利，参差不齐。 但画中的灰烬石又大又圆。”

"Thaddeus knew the firehawks. Maybe he knows something about the Ember Stone, too?" Skyla suggested. The three friends rushed to the shoreline. "Thaddeus!" Tag called across the water. Blaze joined in. "Peeeep! Peee—eeep!" "There he is!" cried Skyla, jumping up and down. A large green head rose from the water. "Hullo," the old turtle said.

“塞笛厄斯认识火鹰。 也许他也知道烬石的事？”Skyla建议。 三个朋友冲到岸边。 “撒迪厄斯!”泰格隔着水喊道。 Blaze也加入了进来。“Peeeep !Peee-eeep !”“他在那儿！”斯盖拉叫着，跳上跳下。 一个绿色的大脑袋从水里冒了出来。 “你好，”老乌龟说。

"We're hoping you might know something about this." Tag held up the Ember Stone. "Have you seen it before?" Thaddeus scrunched up his eyes. He stared at the stone for a long time. "The Ember Stone," Thaddeus said, finally. "The firehawks wanted to keep it hidden from Thorn. They tried to destroy it so that he couldn't use its powerful magic. But the stone could not be destroyed. Instead, it broke into pieces. The firehawks hid the pieces far and wide, so that Thorn would never find them."

“我们希望你能了解一些情况。” 泰格举起烬石。 “你以前见过吗？”塞笛厄斯皱起了眼睛。 他盯着那块石头看了很久。 “烬石。”塞笛厄斯终于说。 火鹰想把它藏起来，不让索恩看见。 他们试图摧毁它，这样他就不能使用它强大的魔法。 但是石头却无法被摧毁。 相反，它碎成了碎片。 火鹰把碎片藏得很远很远，所以索恩永远找不到它们。”

"That's why this stone is so small," Skyla said. "It's just one piece of the Ember Stone!" "How many pieces are there?" Tag asked Thaddeus. "The only animal who might know that is a flrehawk," Thaddeus said. Tag, Skyla, and Thaddeus all looked at Blaze.

“所以这块石头才这么小。”斯凯拉说。 “只不过是灰烬之石的一块！”“一共有多少块？”泰格问塞笛厄斯。 “唯一知道这一点的动物可能是鹰，”塞迪厄斯说。 泰格、斯凯拉和塞笛厄斯都看着火焰。
