02 Thorn Closes In

CHAPTER 2 THORN CLOSES IN Blaze. looked to the trees. "What does that horn mean?" "Is Thorn here?" Skyla asked. Tag pulled out his dagger. "Or his spies? Grey pointed. "It means that Maximus is back."

第二章荆棘在火焰中结束。 看向树木。“那只喇叭是什么意思？”“索恩在吗？”Skyla问道。 泰格掏出他的匕首。 “或者他的密探？”灰色指出。 “这意味着马克西姆斯回来了。”

Three owls landed in front of Grey. "We have news," Maximus said. "Thorn and The Shadow are close?" Grey guessed. Maximus nodded. "Part of the wall has been destroyed. The trees and flowers outside it have turned to dust." Skyla gasped. Grey patted Skyla's shoulder. "Did you see Thorn?" he asked Maximus. "Yes," Maximus replied. "He and The Shadow will reach Valor Wood very soon. But I do have some good news."

三只猫头鹰落在格蕾面前。 “我们有消息。”马克西姆斯说。 “索恩和影子很近吗？”灰色的猜测。 马克西姆斯点了点头。“部分城墙被毁了。 外面的花草树木都化成了尘土。” Skyla气喘吁吁地说。格蕾拍了拍斯凯拉的肩膀。 “你看见索恩了吗？”他问马克西姆斯。 “是的，”马克西姆斯回答。“他和影子很快就会到达英勇森林。 但我有一些好消息。”

He pointed toward a nearby treetop. A tiny nixie with glittery wings flew out. "Nova!" Tag cried. Nova was joined by another nixie, then another. Soon a whole swarm of nixies fluttered in the air like sparkling fireflies. "King Nidus! You made it just in time!" Grey smiled, greeting Nova's father. "We came as soon as we could," the nixie king replied. BOOM! A crash of thunder echoed around the forest. Tag's feathers shook as the dark cloud of The Shadow filled the sky. Valor Wood fell into darkness.

他指着附近的一个树梢。 一只长着闪闪发光翅膀的小妖精飞了出来。 “新星!”标签哭了。诺娃被另一个女妖精加入，然后又一个。 很快，一大群水仙像闪闪发光的萤火虫一样在空中飞舞。 “王巢!你来得正是时候！”格雷微笑着向诺瓦的父亲打招呼。 “我们尽快赶来了。”妖精国王回答。 繁荣!隆隆的雷声在森林中回荡。 塔格的羽毛颤抖着，黑影的乌云笼罩了天空。 英勇森林陷入了黑暗。

"The Owls of Valor will protect the border for as long as we can!" Maximus shouted as he and his warriors flew off. "Is it time for battle?" Tag shouted over the roar of thunder. Blaze's eyes widened. "Blaze still needs to learn how to use the Ember Stone!" Skyla yelled. "Can you hold off The Shadow?" Grey asked King Nidus. The king nodded. The nixies pointed to the sky and sent out streams of sparkling magic.

“英勇猫头鹰会尽我们所能保护边境！”马克西姆斯喊道，他和他的战士们飞走了。 “是开战的时候了吗？”泰格在轰鸣的雷声中喊道。 Blaze睁大了眼睛。“火焰还需要学习如何使用余烬之石！”Skyla喊道。 “你能抵挡住黑影吗？”格雷问尼都斯国王。 国王点点头。仙女们指着天空，发出一股闪闪发光的魔法。

"They're creating a dome just like the one covering the Nixie Kingdom, beneath Lullaby Lake," Blaze said. Valor Wood was protected by a huge bubble of light. Tag watched as lightning hit the bright shield. It bounced right off! "We'll hold our shield for as long as we can," Nova told Tag. "But we can't hold off Thorn and The Shadow forever."

布雷兹说：“他们正在建造一个圆顶，就像在摇篮曲湖下面覆盖Nixie王国一样。” 英勇森林被一个巨大的光泡保护着。 泰格看着闪电打在明亮的盾牌上。 它被弹开了！“我们会尽可能地守住我们的护盾，”诺瓦告诉泰格。 “但我们不能永远抵挡住索恩和影子。”

"Follow me!" Grey told Tag, Blaze, and Skyla. "But we have to stay and fight!" Tag cried. Grey stopped. "Tag, we must help Blaze first. If she cannot use the Ember Stone, then all hope is lost. Without her, Thorn and The Shadow will surely destroy Perodia."

“跟我来!”格蕾告诉了泰格，火焰和斯凯拉。 “但我们必须留下来战斗！”标签哭了。 灰色的停了下来。“泰格，我们必须先帮助火焰。 如果她不能使用余烬之石，那么所有的希望就都破灭了。 没有她，索恩和暗影一定会摧毁佩罗迪亚。”
