11 The Peahog

CHAPTER 11 THE PEAHOG "Blaze!" Skyla shouted at the wall of water. Skyla and Tag were all alone on the ledge. "What happened?" Skyla cried, her fur trembling. "I don't know," Tag said. "But we need to find Blaze. Come on!"

第十一章孔雀“火焰！”斯凯拉对着水墙喊道。 斯凯拉和泰格独自站在窗台上。 “发生什么事了?”斯凯拉哭了，她的毛在颤抖。 “我不知道，”泰格说。“但我们需要找到Blaze。 来吧!”

He shuffled along the ledge as fast as he could. Skyla held on to his wing. Finally, they came out the other side of the waterfall. There were no trees or bushes on this side. Just a wide open valley with two snow-covered mountains in the distance. "Where is she?" Skyla said. "Do you think she's okay?" "I'll try to find her from above," Tag said. He took off into the sky, searching for any sign of Blaze or of the creature that had snatched her away.

他尽可能快地沿着窗台拖着脚走。 斯凯拉抓住他的翅膀。 最后，他们从瀑布的另一边出来了。 这边没有树，也没有灌木。 只是一个开阔的山谷，远处有两座白雪覆盖的山脉。 “她在哪儿？”Skyla说。 “你觉得她没事吧？”“我会试着从上面找到她，”泰格说。 他飞向天空，寻找火焰或把她抓走的那个生物的踪迹。

"Can you see anything?" Skyla called from below. Below there was nothing but Something moved among the grass! Tag swooped down, and landed in the grass. Skyla raced over and stood beside him, holding out her slingshot. A small, colorful creature stood before them. The creature had a round snout like a pig, and a curly tail. Its body was covered in blue and green and purple feathers. Its green eyes were wide with fear.

“你能看见什么吗？”斯凯拉在下面叫道。 下面什么也没有，只有草丛中有什么东西在动！泰格俯冲下来，落在草地上。 斯凯拉跑过来，站在他身边，伸出弹弓。 一个色彩鲜艳的小生物站在他们面前。 这个动物长着像猪一样的圆鼻子和卷曲的尾巴。 它的身上覆盖着蓝色、绿色和紫色的羽毛。 它的绿眼睛因恐惧而睁得大大的。

"Where is Blaze?" Tag asked the creature. "What's a blaze?" the creature asked. Tag put away his dagger and sighed. "I'm Tag and this is Skyla." The creature smiled. "I'm Zeb," he said. "I'm a peahog." "It's nice to meet you," Skyla added. "Blaze is our friend," Tag explained. "We were all behind the waterfall. Then a creature with orange and red feathers grabbed Blaze and carried her away." "The creature had very long, sharp claws," Skyla added. "Have you seen anything like that?" Zeb nodded. "I've seen birds like that," he said. "They live over there."

“火焰在哪儿？”泰格问那个生物。 “火焰是什么？”怪物问。 泰格收起匕首，叹了口气。 “我是泰格，这是斯凯拉。” 那个生物笑了。“我是西布，”他说。 “我是一只孔雀。”“很高兴见到你，”斯凯拉补充道。 “Blaze是我们的朋友，”Tag解释道。 “我们都在瀑布后面。 然后一个长着橙色和红色羽毛的生物抓住了火焰，把她带走了。” “这种生物的爪子又长又尖，”斯凯拉补充说。 “你见过这样的东西吗？”·泽点了点头。 “我见过那样的鸟，”他说。 “他们住在那边。”

He pointed at the mountains. "Thank you, Zeb!" Tag said. "There is a valley that runs between those two mountains," Zeb said. "It's the quickest way to the birds' nests. Follow the path and it will lead you there. But don't leave the path." "Why?" Skyla asked. Zeb frowned. "You don't want to find out." Tag shivered, thinking about Zeb's warning: Don't leave the path. Then Zeb wandered off through the grass. "Good luck!" he called.

他指了指群山。 “谢谢你，泽布！”标签说。 “两座山之间有一个山谷，”泽布说。 “这是去鸟巢最快的路。 沿着这条路走，它会带你到那里。 但不要离开这条路。” “为什么?”Skyla问道。塔尔·皱起了眉头。 “你不会想知道的。” 泰格颤抖着，想起了泽布的警告：不要离开小路。 然后，西布在草地上溜掉了。 “祝你好运！”他喊道。
