06 Grey's Tale

CHAPTER 6 GREY'S TALE The baby bird stretched her wings. "I'm Tag," Tag told the bird. "This is Skyla. She thinks you're a firehawk." Skyla put her paws on her hips. "She is a firehawk. My grandma told me they had bright, sparkling feathers." She pointed to the bird's glittering wings.

第六章格蕾的故事小鸟展开了翅膀。 “我是泰格，”泰格告诉小鸟。 “这是斯凯拉。她以为你是火鹰。” 斯凯拉把爪子放在屁股上。 “她是一只火鹰。我奶奶告诉我，它们有明亮、闪闪发光的羽毛。” 她指着那只鸟闪闪发光的翅膀。

SCREE-EEE! A loud screech echoed through the wood. Grey appeared as if from nowhere. He did not look happy. "It wasn't our fault," Tag started, "not exactly..." Then Grey saw the baby bird. "What do we have here?" Grey smiled at the bird. "I didn't think I'd ever see a firehawk again..." "I told you, Tag!" said Skyla. "She really is a firehawk?" Tag asked.

SCREE-EEE !一声尖叫在树林中回荡。 格雷不知从哪里冒了出来。 他看上去并不高兴。“这不是我们的错，”泰格开始说，“不完全是……” 然后Grey看到了小鸟宝宝。 “我们这儿有什么？”格雷对着小鸟笑了笑。 “我以为我再也见不到火鹰了……” “我告诉过你，泰格！”斯凯拉说。 “她真的是火鹰吗？”泰格要求。

"Yes," said Grey. "You have made an important discovery. I thought the firehawks were all gone." "What happened to them?" Tag asked. "The firehawks were magical birds who protected the Ember Stone—a stone that holds powerful magic within it," Grey explained. "They did everything in their power to stop Thorn from finding the stone. But one day, the firehawks vanished." Skyla gasped. "That's terrible!" "Could the Ember Stone stop Thorn and The Shadow?" asked Tag.

“是的。”格雷说。“你有一个重要的发现。 我还以为火鹰都走了呢。” “他们怎么了？”泰格要求。 “火鹰是一种神奇的鸟，它们保护着灰烬之石——一块蕴藏着强大魔力的石头。”格雷解释道。 “他们竭尽全力阻止索恩找到石头。 但是有一天，火鹰消失了。” Skyla气喘吁吁地说。“太可怕了!”“烬石能阻止荆棘和影子吗？”泰格问。

Grey stroked his chin. "Maybe. The stone's magic could be even stronger than Thorn's dark magic. But Thorn is moving fast. Trees are dying. The wood's good magic is fading. Can you feel it?" Tag and Skyla nodded. Valor Wood was changing. Flowers no longer bloomed. Rivers were dry. It wouldn't be long before Thorn destroyed everything. "Where is the stone now?" Skyla asked.

格雷抚摸着他的下巴。“也许。 石头的魔法可能比索恩的黑魔法更强大。 但索恩行动迅速。树木正在死亡。 这片树林的魔力正在消失。 你能感觉到吗？”泰格和斯凯拉点点头。 英勇森林正在发生变化。花儿不再开放了。 河流干涸了。没过多久，索恩就毁了一切。 “那块石头现在在哪儿？”Skyla问道。

"I do not know, but I do know that Thorn never found it. If he had, he would have already used it to destroy Perodia," Grey replied. "The firehawks lived on Fire Island, so the stone might still be there—hidden somewhere only a firehawk can find it." Grey looked at the baby bird. "Where did you find her egg?" Tag took a deep breath. Owls of Valor were brave and true. He had to tell the truth. "At the Howling Caves," Tag replied. "We thought Thorn and his tiger bats had stolen the egg, so we tried to save it." "That was very brave," Grey said. "But I forbid anyone to go near those caves." "I'm sorry," Tag said, secretly pleased that Grey had called him brave.

“我不知道，但我知道索恩从来没有找到它。 如果他有，他早就用它摧毁了佩罗迪亚。”格雷回答。 “火鹰住在火岛上，所以石头可能还在那里——藏在只有火鹰才能找到的地方。” 格雷看着小鸟宝宝。 “你在哪儿找到她的蛋的？”泰格深吸了一口气。 勇敢的猫头鹰是勇敢而真实的。 他必须说出真相。“在嚎叫洞穴。”泰格回答。 “我们以为索恩和他的虎蝠偷走了蛋，所以我们想救它。” “这很勇敢，”格雷说。 “但是我禁止任何人靠近那些洞穴。” “对不起，”泰格说，暗自为格雷称赞他勇敢而高兴。

"We didn't mean to start a fire," Skyla added. "The fire was not your fault," Grey told them. "Firehawks hatch in flame." TA—RAAAA! A horn sounded in the distance. "We're under attack!" Grey shouted. "I must gather the Owls of Valor." "Can I come?" Tag asked. Grey held up a wing. "You two stay with the firehawk." Skyla nodded. "We'll keep her safe." "But I can fight!" Tag cried.

“我们不是故意要放火的，”斯凯拉补充道。 “火灾不是你们的错。”格雷告诉他们。 “火鹰在火焰中孵化。” TA-RAAAA !远处响起了号角。 “我们遭到攻击了！”灰色喊道。 “我必须召集英勇的猫头鹰。” “我能来吗？”泰格要求。格蕾举起一只翅膀。 “你们俩留在火鹰那儿。” Skyla点点头。“我们会保证她的安全。” “但我能战斗！”泰格哭了。
