01 Training Time

CHAPTER 1 TRAINING TIME TA-RAA TA-RA TA-RA! Tag jumped out of his nest as the horns trumpeted around the forest. He grabbed his dagger and pulled on his armor. It was time for training!

第一章训练时间啦啦啦啦啦啦啦！当号角在森林中吹响时，泰格跳出了他的巢。 他抓起匕首，穿上盔甲。 训练的时间到了！

"Skyla!" Tag called up to the top branches of the tree, where his best friend lived. But Skyla was already ready to go. She leaped from branch to branch, and Tag flew after her. They landed at a big tree stump in a clearing of the wood. More Owls of Valor in training flew down to join them. Everyone waited for Maximus. Tag and Skyla had been training for six weeks now: learning how to fight, how to sneak up on enemies, and how to use the forest's magic. Tag couldn't wait to be sent on a mission. But every time he asked Maximus or Grey, the leader of the Owls of Valor, they said he wasn't ready.

“Skyla !”泰格朝他最好的朋友住的树顶大喊。 但斯凯拉已经准备好要走了。 她从一个树枝跳到另一个树枝，泰格跟着她飞。 他们降落在树林空地上的一个大树桩上。 更多正在训练的英勇猫头鹰飞下来加入他们。 每个人都在等着马克西姆斯。 泰格和斯凯拉已经训练了六个星期了：学习如何战斗，如何偷袭敌人，以及如何使用森林的魔法。 泰格迫不及待地想被派去执行任务。 但每次他问马克西姆斯或英勇猫头鹰的首领格雷，他们都说他还没准备好。

A row of wooden swords lay on the ground. Tag looked at them, feeling worried. He was good with his dagger. But the swords were long and heavy, and his wings were smaller than everyone else's. Maximus flew in. "Choose a weapon!" he ordered. Skyla grinned at Tag. She chose the longest sword. It was taller than she was!

一排木剑躺在地上。 泰格看着他们，感到很担心。 他很会用匕首。 但剑又长又重，他的翅膀比别人的都小。 马克西姆斯飞了进来。“选一个武器！”他命令道。 斯凯拉对泰格咧嘴一笑。她选择了最长的剑。 它比她还高！

Tag waited as the other owls chose their weapons. Then he stepped forward. He groaned. All that was left was an old, chipped sword. He lifted it with his wing. Luckily, it wasn't too heavy. "Choose a partner!" Maximus yelled. "Swing and jab! Swing and jab!" Maximus attacked a nearby tree to demonstrate. Tag looked to Skyla, but another owl had already chosen her for a partner. Tag turned to see the only young owl left. Bod. Bod was twice as big as Tag and a bully. Tag tried not to let Bod see his wings shake as he lifted his sword.

泰格等着其他猫头鹰选择武器。 然后他走上前去。他呻吟着。 只剩下一把破旧的剑。 他用翅膀把它举起来。 幸运的是，它不太重。 “选一个伙伴！”马克西姆斯喊道。 “挥和刺！”挥棒和刺拳！”马克西姆斯袭击了附近的一棵树以示抗议。 泰格看着斯凯拉，但另一只猫头鹰已经选择了她作为伴侣。 泰格转过身来，看到了只剩下的一只小猫头鹰。 Bod。伯德比泰格大两倍，是个恶霸。 泰格举起剑时，尽量不让伯德看到他的翅膀抖动。

Bod grinned, then swung his sword fast. He knocked Tag's sword from his wings before Tag had a chance to move! "Hey!" Tag grumbled. "I wasn't ready yet." He bent to lift up his sword. Bod stepped forward, jabbing Tag in the back and knocking him over. "Never turn your back on your enemy, Tag!" Maximus shouted. Tag narrowed his eyes as Bod smirked. "Tag! Skyla!" Maximus called. Skyla landed beside Tag. They saluted their leader. "I have some news," Maximus told them. "It's time for you to go out on your first mission."

博德咧嘴一笑，然后迅速挥动剑。 塔格还没来得及动，他就把他翅膀上的剑打掉了！“嘿!”标签咕哝道。 “我还没准备好。”他弯下腰举起剑。 博德走上前去，猛击泰格的后背，把他撞倒在地。 “永远不要背对你的敌人，泰格！”马克西姆斯喊道。 泰格眯起眼睛，博德得意地笑着。 “标签!Skyla !”马克西姆斯。 斯凯拉落在泰格旁边。他们向领袖敬礼。 “我有一些消息。”马克西姆斯告诉他们。 “是时候执行你的第一个任务了。”
