03 A Magical Meadow

CHAPTER 3 A MAGICAL MEADOW Slowly, the loud roar of the wind faded and the sand beneath their feet was still again. "Has the tornado passed?" Tag asked. Blaze lifted her head to look out across the desert. "Safe!" she said, opening her wings.

第三章神奇的草地风的咆哮声慢慢地消失了，他们脚下的沙子又恢复了平静。 “龙卷风过去了吗？”泰格要求。 火焰抬起头，望向沙漠的另一边。 “安全！”她张开翅膀说。

Tag blinked. He couldn't believe his eyes. The sky was clear and there was no sign that there had ever been a tornado. "Look!" Skyla gasped, pointing to a deep groove in the sand. The tornado had passed right over where they stood. Tag hooted in amazement. "I can't believe how strong your wings are Blaze!" Blaze smiled. "You saved us!" Skyla told her, giving her a hug.

泰格眨了眨眼睛。他简直不敢相信自己的眼睛。 天空晴朗，没有任何龙卷风的迹象。 “看!”斯凯拉喘着气，指着沙子上的一个深沟。 龙卷风正好从他们站着的地方经过。 泰格惊叫起来。“我不敢相信你的翅膀有多强壮，火焰！”大火笑了。 “你救了我们！”斯凯拉告诉她，给了她一个拥抱。

"Super-strong wings must be another of your magical firehawk powers," Tag said to Blaze. "Just like your firepower and your cry." Skyla brushed sand out of her fur. "That was close. Even with Blaze's powers!" she said. Tag checked that their piece of the Ember Stone was safe. Ahead, he could see a wide green line on the horizon. He pointed to it. "Do you see that?" "We're near the end of the desert!" Skyla cried. She raced across the sand. Tag and Blaze spread their wings and flew after her. As Tag neared the edge of the Shifting Sands, he could see the tops of lush green trees.

“超级强壮的翅膀一定是你火鹰的另一个神奇力量，”泰格对火焰说。 “就像你的火力和哭声一样。” 斯凯拉拂去皮毛上的沙子。 “好险啊。即使有火焰的力量！”她说。 泰格检查了他们那块烬之石是否安全。 他看见前方的地平线上有一条宽阔的绿线。 他指着它。“你看到了吗？”“我们快到沙漠的尽头了！”Skyla哭了。 她跑过沙滩。 泰格和火焰展开翅膀跟在她后面飞。 当塔格接近流沙的边缘时，他可以看到葱翠的树梢。

I hope there's water close by, Tag thought. He was thirsty after swallowing all that sand. Tag and Blaze soon landed in a meadow of fruit trees. Skyla stood near a pool filled by a small waterfall. All around them were hundreds of colorful flowers. Tag took a deep breath. The air smelled so fresh.

我希望附近有水，泰格想。 吞下所有的沙子后，他感到口渴。 泰格和布雷兹很快降落在一片果树草地上。 斯凯拉站在一个满是小瀑布的水池旁边。 他们周围是五颜六色的鲜花。 泰格深吸了一口气。空气闻起来很新鲜。

"Where are we?" Skyla asked, picking a sparkly purple flower and tucking it beneath her armor.

“我们在哪儿？”斯凯拉问道，摘了一朵闪闪发光的紫色花，把它塞进她的盔甲下面。

Tag looked at Grey's map, but there was no meadow. "I'm not sure. Maybe this is a magical place?" "It sure feels like it," Skyla said. Blaze nodded and dunked her face in the cool, sweet-tasting water. The friends ate pineapple and mango and papaya until their tummies were full. Then they filled their water pouches and gathered fruit for the journey ahead. Tag flew into the branches of a nearby tree. In the distance were two tall brown hills. "We're almost at the Whispering Oak," Tag called. "We should keep moving." "Can't we stay just a little longer?" Skyla begged.

泰格看了看格蕾的地图，但没有草地。 “我不确定。也许这是一个神奇的地方？”“感觉确实是这样，”斯凯拉说。 烈焰点了点头，把脸浸在又凉又甜的水里。 朋友们吃菠萝、芒果和木瓜，吃到肚子饱为止。 然后他们把水袋装满，为前面的旅程收集水果。 泰格飞到附近一棵树的树枝上。 远处有两座高大的棕色小山。 “我们快到呓语橡树了。”泰格喊道。 “我们应该继续前进。”“我们不能再多待一会儿吗？”Skyla乞求道。
