02 The Library

CHAPTER 2 THE LIBRARY The four friends spent all day in the library. Tag, Blaze, and Claw searched through the higher shelves. Skyla looked through scrolls on the floor.

四个朋友在图书馆呆了一整天。 泰格、火焰和爪子在更高的架子上搜寻。 斯凯拉在地板上翻看卷轴。

"We've been here forever, and we've found nothing!" Tag grumbled. "Look at this book," Blaze replied. "It has some interesting things about my family. And about the Owls of Valor in Perodia too."

“我们在这儿待了很久了，可什么也没找到！”标签咕哝道。 “看看这本书，”布雷兹回答。 “它有一些关于我的家庭的有趣的事情。 还有珀罗迪亚的英勇猫头鹰。”

Skyla, Tag, and Claw came over to listen. "Since the beginning of time, the Owls of Valor and the firehawks have worked together," Blaze read. Tag sighed. His heart felt sad at the thought of the Owls of Valor. It was his dream to become one someday and protect Valor Wood. If we can't find a magical object, he thought, I might never become an Owl of Valor. "The Owls of Valor protected the first firehawk egg," Blaze continued. Skyla wrinkled her nose. "What was the first firehawk egg?" she asked. "I've never heard of it," Tag added.

斯凯拉、泰格和克劳过来听。 “从一开始，英勇猫头鹰和火鹰就在一起工作，”Blaze读到。 标签叹了口气。一想到英勇的猫头鹰，他心里就很难过。 他的梦想是有朝一日成为英雄，保护英勇森林。 如果我们找不到魔法物品，他想，我可能永远也成不了英勇的猫头鹰。 “英勇的猫头鹰保护了第一个火鹰蛋，”Blaze继续说道。 斯凯拉皱起鼻子。“第一个火鹰蛋是什么？”她问。 “我从来没听说过，”泰格补充道。

Blaze read on. "All firehawk eggs are magical, but the first firehawk egg is the most magical of them all. After the first firehawk hatched, the egg shell didn't turn to ash. Instead, it repaired itself and became filled with the most powerful magic in the world. But like all magic, this egg could be used for good or for evil." Tag shivered. He knew what terrible things evil magic like The Shadow could do. Skyla gasped and pointed to the bottom of the page. "Some say that the first egg could open a permanent portal between lands," she read.

Blaze继续读下去。“所有的火鹰蛋都有魔力，但第一个火鹰蛋是最神奇的。 第一只火鹰孵化后，蛋壳并没有变成灰烬。 相反，它自我修复，充满了世界上最强大的魔法。 但就像所有的魔法一样，这只蛋可以用来做好事，也可以用来做坏事。” 标签颤抖。他知道像影子这样的邪恶魔法会造成多么可怕的事情。 斯凯拉喘着气，指着那一页的底部。 “有人说，第一个蛋可以打开陆地之间的永久门户，”她读道。

Tag Jumped into the air. "This is what we've been looking for!" he cried. "We could use the egg to open a portal and get home!" Claw added. But Blaze shook her head as she read on. "The first egg was lost hundreds of years ago. Nobody knows where it is now." Tag put his head in his wings. Blaze patted his shoulder. "I'm sorry," she whispered. "We'll come back tomorrow and keep reading. I know we'll find a way to open a portal." They walked back to the temple and found the great hall. The tables were piled high with delicious food and drinks.

泰格跳到了空中。“这就是我们一直在找的东西！” “我们可以用这颗蛋打开一个传送门，回家！”爪补充道。 但布雷兹一边读一边摇着头。 “第一颗蛋在几百年前就丢失了。 现在没人知道它在哪儿。” 泰格把头伸进翅膀里。 Blaze拍了拍他的肩膀。 “对不起，”她低声说。 “我们明天再来继续读。 我知道我们会找到打开传送门的方法。” 他们走回寺庙，找到了大殿。 桌上堆满了美味的食物和饮料。

Tag's tummy growled. "Feeling hungry?" Skyla laughed. They sat with Talia. And Tag ate until he felt like he might burst. When Tag, Skyla, Blaze, and Claw had all finished eating, Talia took them to a large beach hut. "You can stay here," she said. "For as long as you need to. Good night." The hut was full of snuggly blankets and soft cushions. In the center was a bowl of nuts and fruit.

泰格的肚子咕咕叫着。“感觉饿了吗?”Skyla笑了。 他们和塔利亚坐在一起。泰格一直吃到肚子快要撑破为止。 当泰格、斯凯拉、火焰和爪子都吃完后，塔利亚把他们带到一个大的海滩小屋。 “你可以留在这里，”她说。 “你需要多久就多久。 晚安。”小屋里堆满了舒适的毯子和柔软的靠垫。 中间放着一碗坚果和水果。
