13 The Cage

CHAPTER 13 THE CAGE Tag sat on the floor of the cage and put his head in his wings. "We fell right into The Shadow's trap! Now Skull is bringing The Shadow back to Perodia!" The sound of the army marching toward the portal echoed through the tunnel.

第十三章笼Tag坐在笼子的地板上，把头埋在翅膀里。 “我们正好落入了黑影的圈套！”现在骷髅把阴影带回到佩罗迪亚！”军队向入口进军的声音在隧道里回荡。

Blaze gave a muffled peep from her cage. "It's not your fault, Blaze," Tag told her. "We just need to find a way out of here and stop Skull. At least I still have my dagger!" He pulled it out and cut at the vines around his cage, and Skyla used her sharp teeth to chew them. But the vines were too strong. "It's no good!" Skyla sighed. "We're stuck if Blaze can't use her magic. Skull will be at the portal soon!"

布雷兹从笼子里闷闷地吱吱叫着。 “这不是你的错，布雷兹，”泰格告诉她。 “我们只需要想办法离开这里，阻止骷髅。 至少我的匕首还在！”他把它拔出来，砍断笼子周围的藤蔓，斯凯拉用她锋利的牙齿咬它们。 但是藤蔓太壮了。 “不行！”Skyla叹了口气。 “如果火焰不能使用她的魔法，我们就被困住了。 骷髅很快就到传送门了！”

Tag thought about Bod standing guard outside the tunnel. Has Bod been captured, too? he wondered. A small, shiny tear rolled down Blaze's face. It dripped off the end of her beak. "Don't cry!" a voice whispered. Tag glanced around. At the end of the tunnel, a dim green light swung back and forth, moving closer. "Who's there?" Tag called. "It's me, Bod!" the voice replied. "I've come to rescue you." Tag sighed in relief. Bod emerged from the darkness, holding the lantern. "I've never been so happy to see you!" Skyla called out.

泰格想到了在隧道外站岗的博德。 博德也被抓了吗？ 他想知道。一颗小小的、闪亮的眼泪从布雷兹的脸上滚落下来。 它从她的喙尖滴下来。 “别哭！”一个声音小声说。 泰格环顾四周。在隧道的尽头，一盏昏暗的绿光前后晃动，越来越近。 “谁在那里?”标签。 “是我，博德！”那声音回答。 “我是来救你的。” 泰格松了口气。伯德从黑暗中走出来，手里提着灯笼。 “见到你我从来没有这么高兴过！”斯凯拉喊道。

Bod inspected the cages. "The cages are strong," he said. "But not as strong as me." He went to Tag's cage first. He gripped a twisty branch with each wing. Then he pulled as hard as he could. There was a loud CRACK and the wood broke! Tag squeezed out of the cage. Then Bod went to free Skyla and Blaze. He used his sword to cut away the vines around Blaze's beak.

博德检查了笼子。“笼子很结实，”他说。 “但没有我强壮。” 他先去了泰格的笼子。 他用两只翅膀抓住一根弯曲的树枝。 然后他使出全身的力气拉。 啪的一声巨响，木头断了！泰格从笼子里挤了出来。 然后博德去救了斯凯拉和布雷兹。 他用剑砍断了火焰嘴周围的藤蔓。

"Let's stop that rat and get my mom back!" Blaze shouted. She flapped her wings, and they blazed with flames, brighter than Tag had ever seen them. The swirling dark cloud around her faded to gold, then disappeared. Then she flew down the tunnel like a fireball, racing toward the portal.

“让我们阻止那只老鼠，把我妈妈救回来！”大火喊道。 她扇动翅膀，翅膀发出熊熊的火焰，泰格从未见过如此明亮。 她周围旋转的乌云褪成了金色，然后消失了。 然后，她像火球一样飞下隧道，冲向传送门。
