08 The Missing Sack

CHAPTER 8 THE MISSING SACK The wolves guarded the cages, walking in circles around them. Tag lowered his head. The Ember Stone was lost, they were trapped in cages, the wolves had their weapons, and worst of all— Thorn would take Blaze away and use her for her magical powers.

狼守卫着笼子，围着笼子兜圈子。 泰格低下了头。灰烬之石丢失了，他们被困在笼子里，狼群有了他们的武器，最糟糕的是——索恩会带走火焰，利用她的魔法力量。

"There's no way out," he said. Skyla shook her head. "Don't give up, Tag. There must be a way!" Tag sighed. "I have let everyone down," he said. "This is all my fault. I should have listened to you both. We should have stayed away from The Shadowlands." BA-WAAAA! BA-WAAAA! A loud horn sound filled the air. The wolves' ears pricked up. "Thorn is calling. We need to go," said the white wolf. "What about our prisoners?" said the gray wolf.

“没有出路，”他说。 斯凯拉摇了摇头。“不要放弃，泰格。 一定有办法的！”泰格叹了口气。 “我让所有人都失望了，”他说。 “这都是我的错。我应该听你们俩的。 我们应该远离暗影之地。” BA-WAAAA !BA-WAAAA !一声响亮的喇叭声充满了空气。 狼竖起了耳朵。 “索恩在叫。我们得走了。”白狼说。 “我们的俘虏怎么办？”灰狼说。

The white wolf looked at the caged friends. "Those three won't be going anywhere," he growled. "Just think how happy Thorn will be when we tell him we have captured the last firehawk!" The wolves laughed as they ran off in the same direction as the march of spies. "We need to get free and find my sack!" Tag said. He used his beak to break the web tying Skyla's paws together. "Where did the sack go? What happened to it?" Skyla asked, working on Tag's wings.

白狼看着笼子里的朋友们。 “那三个人哪儿也去不了。”他咆哮道。 “想想看，当我们告诉索恩我们抓住了最后一只火鹰时，他该有多高兴啊！”狼们笑着向密探行进的方向跑去。 “我们需要自由，找到我的口袋！”泰格说。 他用他的嘴打破了把斯凯拉的爪子绑在一起的网。 “袋子到哪里去了？”它怎么了？”斯凯拉一边摸着泰格的翅膀，一边问道。

"I hid it behind my back to keep the wolves from seeing it, but then I dropped it," Tag said, pulling the web from his wings. "When I turned around, it was gone." Blaze stomped inside her cage, trying to tell Tag something. "Don't worry, Blaze," Tag called out to his friend. "We'll find a way out of this somehow." Skyla pulled at the thick vines that tied the wooden cages together. "We have to hurry," she said. "We can't let Thorn take Blaze."

“我把它藏在背后，不让狼看到，但后来我把它掉在地上了，”泰格说着，从翅膀上扯下了网。 “我一转身，它就不见了。” 烈焰在笼子里跺脚，想跟泰格说点什么。 “别担心，布雷兹，”泰格对他的朋友喊道。 “我们会找到解决办法的。” 斯凯拉拉着把木笼子绑在一起的粗壮藤蔓。 “我们得快点了，”她说。 “我们不能让荆棘带走火焰。”

Tag helped Skyla, using his beak, but it was no use. The vines were too strong. He sat on the ground with a sigh. If only I had my dagger, he thought. Suddenly, there was a rumble beneath him. The earth began to shake.

泰格用他的嘴帮助斯凯拉，但没有用。 藤蔓太结实了。 他叹了口气坐在地上。 要是我有匕首就好了，他想。 突然，他脚下传来隆隆的声音。 大地开始震动。
