15 Grey's Tree

CHAPTER 15 GREY'S TREE The sun wasn't as bright as it had been before. Dark gray puffs of clouds were moving across the sky. "We should fly," Tag said. "It's the quickest way to reach camp." "Okay. Just stay out of sight," Skyla agreed. "We need to be extra careful now that the Ember Stone is complete."

第十五章格雷的树太阳不像以前那么明亮了。 深灰色的云团在天空中移动。 “我们应该坐飞机，”泰格说。 “这是到营地最快的路。” “好吧。别让人看见。”斯凯拉同意了。 “现在烬石已经完成了，我们需要格外小心。”

Tag and Blaze flew as fast as they could. Finally, Tag spotted the center of the Owls of Valor's training camp. He could see the wooden huts, and the weapons laid out. There were silver swords, daggers, shields, and helmets. Grey's tree stood in the center of camp. It was the oldest and tallest tree in Valor Wood.

泰格和火焰以最快的速度飞了起来。 最后，泰格发现了英勇猫头鹰训练营的中心。 他能看到那些木屋和摆放着的武器。 有银剑、匕首、盾牌和头盔。 葛蕾的树矗立在营地中央。 它是英勇森林里最古老、最高的树。

Tag landed in front of the large door at the bottom of the tree trunk. He banged on it as hard as he could. "Grey!" Tag called. "It's us. Tag and Skyla and Blaze." Skyla looked around the camp. "Where is everyone?" she asked. Usually the camp was full of owls and other creatures. But now it was empty. Tag lifted his wing to knock again, but the door quickly opened and he, Skyla, and Blaze were pulled inside. The door slammed shut behind them.

泰格降落在树干底部的大门前。 他使劲地敲着它。 “灰!”泰格。“这是我们。 泰格、斯凯拉和布雷兹。”斯凯拉环视了一下营地。 “人都到哪儿去了？”她问。 通常营地里都是猫头鹰和其他动物。 但现在它是空的。泰格举起翅膀再次敲门，但门很快就开了，他、斯凯拉和火焰被拉了进去。 门在他们身后砰地关上了。

"Be quiet out there!" a loud voice boomed. It was Maximus, the captain of the Owls of Valor. Tag had forgotten how loud Maximus was. "Monty sent us a message that you would be here hours ago! Where have you been?" he boomed again. "Never mind that, Maximus," another voice said from above.

“外面安静点！”一个响亮的声音响起。 那是马克西姆斯，英勇猫头鹰队的队长。 泰格已经忘了马克西姆斯的声音有多大。 “蒙蒂给我们捎了个信，说你几个小时前就到了！”你上哪儿去了？”他又厉声问道。 “别管了，马克西姆斯。”另一个声音从上面传来。

The three friends looked up. Tag felt a rush of happiness as Grey flew down to greet them. "They are here now," Grey said, patting Tag on the shoulder. "That is all that matters." Together, they climbed the wooden steps to the very top of the tree. Grey looked at each of them in turn, giving them a big smile. "You have the Ember Stone?" Grey asked. Tag nodded. Blaze pulled the warm stone out of Tag's sack. It was still glowing but not as brightly as before. "You have done well," Grey said.

三个朋友抬起头来。 格蕾飞下来迎接他们时，泰格感到一阵幸福。 “他们来了，”格雷拍拍泰格的肩膀说。 “这才是最重要的。” 他们一起爬上木台阶，来到树顶。 格蕾依次看了看他们每个人，给了他们一个大大的微笑。 “你有烬石吗？”灰色问道。 标记点了点头。烈焰从泰格的袋子里拿出那块温暖的石头。 它还在发光，但不像以前那么亮了。 “你做得很好，”格雷说。
