13 Escape

CHAPTER 13 ESCAPE SCRITCH! SCRATCH! The ice leopards scraped and dug at the snow pile with their claws and teeth. "Do something, Tag!" Skyla cried. Tag flew to the top of the huge snow pile. Two large orange eyes peered back at him. The ice leopard swiped a paw at Tag. Tag fell to the ground, knocking open his sack.

第十三章逃命！划痕!雪豹用爪子和牙齿在雪堆上刨来刨去。 “做点什么，泰格！”Skyla哭了。 泰格飞到了巨大的雪堆的顶端。 两只桔黄色的大眼睛回望着他。 雪豹向泰格伸出一只爪子。 泰格倒在地上，敲开了他的袋子。

Berries, nuts and acorns, and Grey's magical map slid across the ice—along with the two pieces of the Ember Stone! Skyla picked up the pieces. They were glowing. "They're still warm," she told the others. Tag noticed Skyla's paws trembling. "Are you okay?" Tag asked her. "It's not me—it's the stones! They're shaking!" Skyla said. She lifted the stones to her ear. "And they're humming!"

浆果、坚果和橡子，还有格雷的魔法地图，连同两块灰烬之石滑过冰面！斯凯拉收拾残局。 它们在发光。“它们还是热的。”她告诉其他人。 泰格注意到斯凯拉的爪子在颤抖。 “你还好吗？”泰格问她。 “不是我，是那些石头！”他们颤抖!”Skyla说。 她把石头举到耳边。 “它们还在哼唱呢！”

"Be careful," Tag warned. "The Ember Stone is filled with powerful magic—who knows what those pieces could do." Skyla put the pieces on the ground. Tag watched with wide eyes as the stones shook faster and faster. The stones hummed louder and louder, like a thousand buzzing bees. Suddenly, the two pieces of the Ember Stone slid toward each other. There was a flash of blinding, purple light. When Tag looked again, there were no longer two pieces of stone, but one.

“小心，”泰格警告道。“烬石充满了强大的魔法——谁知道那些碎片能做什么。” 斯凯拉把碎片放在地上。 泰格睁大眼睛看着石头越晃越快。 石头的嗡嗡声越来越响，就像一千只嗡嗡作响的蜜蜂。 突然，两片灰烬之石滑向彼此。 一道刺眼的紫光闪过。 当塔格再看的时候，已经不是两块石头了，而是一块。

"Whoa!" Tag said. "Did you know that would happen?" Skyla asked Blaze. Blaze shrugged. "The firehawks were the guardians of the Ember Stone," Tag told her. He reached for the stone. "Ouch, it's hot!" He dropped the stone to the ground. SCRITCH! SCRATCH! Another chunk of snow crumbled off the pile. "The ice leopards are getting closer," Skyla said. "We have to hurry!" "Look!" Coralie said, pointing at the stone. It had made a puddle of melted ice.

“哇!”泰格说。“你知道会发生这种事吗？”斯凯拉问布雷兹。 大火耸耸肩。“火鹰是烬之石的守护者。”泰格告诉她。 他伸手去拿那块石头。“哎哟，好热！”他把石头扔到地上。 地!划痕!又一大块雪从雪堆上掉了下来。 “冰豹越来越近了，”斯凯拉说。 “我们得快点了！”“看!”科拉莉指着石头说。 它把融化的冰弄成了一个水坑。

Tag grinned. "Blaze may be too tired to use her fire power, but we can use the Ember Stone to melt the ice! It must be more powerful now that the two pieces have joined together. Hurry, before it loses heat!" Skyla frowned. "The stone is too hot to hold..." "Not for a firehawk!" Tag said. Blaze picked up the Ember Stone in her beak. She held the glowing stone up to the ice wall behind them.

泰格咧嘴一笑。“火焰可能太累了，无法使用她的火力，但我们可以用灰烬之石融化冰！”既然两部分结合在一起，它一定更强大。 快点，免得它失去热量！”Skyla皱起了眉头。 “石头太烫了，拿不住……” “火鹰可不行！”泰格说。 烈焰用嘴叼起烬石。 她把那块发光的石头举到身后的冰墙上。

It melted the ice until there was a hole big enough for all of them to fit through. Sunlight shone into the cavern.

它融化了冰，直到有一个足够大的洞，让所有的人都能通过。 阳光照进洞里。
