13 The Last Piece

CHAPTER 13 THE LAST PIECE Tag and Skyla stayed close to Blaze. The Ember Stone's purple light filled the darkness. They walked deeper into the cave. It was quiet and empty. Finally, Blaze stopped. The three friends could see a light a little way ahead. Another stone shone back at them!

第十三章最后的碎片泰格和斯凯拉一直靠近火焰。 余烬之石的紫色光芒照亮了黑暗。 他们向洞穴深处走去。 屋里静悄悄的，空荡荡的。最后，Blaze停了下来。 三个朋友看到前面有一盏灯。 又有一块石头向他们还击！

Blaze put their piece on the ground. "The last piece," she said as she stepped toward the new stone. Tag and Skyla watched as Blaze lifted the glowing stone from a narrow ledge inside the cave wall. She turned and placed the small stone beside their larger piece. Then she stood back. "We should stand back, too," Tag told Skyla, and they moved away.

火焰把他们的枪放在地上。 “最后一块，”她边说边朝新石头走去。 泰格和斯凯拉看着火焰把发光的石头从岩壁内的一个狭窄的岩架上举起。 她转过身来，把小石头放在大石头旁边。 然后她后退了几步。“我们也应该退后。”泰格对斯凯拉说，然后他们就走开了。

The three friends watched as the two glowing stones began to wobble and shake faster and faster. A humming sound filled the cave. The sound was louder than ever before. Then, slowly, the stones moved closer to each other, sliding across the ground until "Cover your eyes!" Blaze shouted. An explosion of bright, golden light filled the cave. Its warm blast almost knocked Tag and Skyla off their feet. Suddenly, Blaze's feathers lit up—one by one—until she looked like she was made of gold! Her feathers sparkled as brightly as the now-golden Ember Stone.

三个朋友看着那两块发光的石头开始摇晃，摇晃得越来越快。 一个嗡嗡的声音充满了山洞。 声音比以前更大了。 然后，慢慢地，石头彼此靠近，在地面上滑动，直到“蒙住你的眼睛！”大火喊道。 一束明亮的金色的光充满了山洞。 这股暖风几乎把泰格和斯凯拉撞飞了。 突然，火焰的羽毛一根接一根亮了起来，直到她看起来像金子做的！她的羽毛闪闪发光，就像现在金色的烬石一样。

"The stone is complete!" Tag said. "We did it!" "Woo-hoo!" Skyla cheered. The three friends hugged and laughed. The Ember Stone's golden glow grew duller, and Blaze put it into Tag's sack. "We must get this to Grey right away," Blaze said. They were headed out of the cave when Skyla stopped. "Look!" she said, pointing at the cave wall.

“石头是完整的！”泰格说。 “我们成功了！”“啊!”Skyla欢呼。 三个朋友又拥抱又笑。 余烬之石的金光渐渐暗淡，火焰把它放进泰格的袋子里。 “我们必须马上把这个交给格雷，”布雷兹说。 他们正要出洞时，斯凯拉停了下来。 “看！”她指着岩壁说。

Tag took a closer look. There were two wall drawings of firehawks, just like the drawings they had seen on Fire Island. But these pictures were different. The first cave drawing showed the firehawks flying up into the clouds. The second drawing was of one golden egg inside a cave. Skyla looked at Blaze, then at Tag. "Do you think...?" she whispered. Tag knew what Skyla was thinking: The drawing was of Blaze's egg.

泰格仔细看了看。墙上有两幅火鹰的画，和他们在火岛上看到的一模一样。 但这些照片是不同的。 第一幅洞穴壁画描绘的是火鹰飞向云端。 第二幅画的是一个洞里的金蛋。 斯凯拉看了看布雷兹，又看了看泰格。 “你觉得……？”她小声说。 泰格知道斯凯拉在想什么：画的是布雷兹的蛋。
