01 A New Journey

CHAPTER 1 A NEW JOURNEY Valor Wood was filled with warm sunlight. The trees were thick and green, and the river sparkled blue. Perodia was full of life and magic now that Thorn had been defeated. Tag and his friends Skyla and Blaze stood in the center of the wood. Grey, the leader of the Owls of Valor, stood beside them.

第一章新的旅程英勇的森林充满了温暖的阳光。 树木茂密，绿油油的，河水波光粼粼。 索恩被打败后，珀罗迪亚充满了生机和魔力。 泰格和他的朋友斯凯拉和火焰站在树林的中央。 英勇猫头鹰的首领格雷站在他们身边。

"The feathers showed Blaze that her family went to a kingdom in the clouds," Tag told Grey. "We should leave at once to find it." Blaze held three golden feathers. Skyla had found the first one on Fire Island, and she found another in a cave in Valor Wood. The last feather had come from Thorn. Grey looked at Blaze. "Are you sure you want to go on this new quest?" he asked her. "What if your family is no longer alive?" Blaze nodded as she handed the feathers to Skyla. Skyla tucked them inside her armor for safekeeping. "Thorn said there are more firehawks," Blaze said. "I have to hope my family is among them." "Thorn has lied to you before," Tag warned.

泰格对格雷说：“这些羽毛告诉Blaze，她的家人去了一个云端王国。” “我们应该马上出发去找它。” 火焰拿着三根金羽毛。 斯凯拉在火岛上找到了第一个，她在英勇森林的一个山洞里找到了另一个。 最后一根羽毛来自荆棘。 Grey看着Blaze。“你确定要继续这个新的任务吗？”他问她。 “如果你的家人不在人世了怎么办？”火焰点了点头，把羽毛递给斯凯拉。 为了安全起见，斯凯拉把它们塞进了她的盔甲里。 “索恩说有更多的火鹰，”布雷兹说。 “我只能希望我的家人也在其中。” “索恩以前对你撒过谎，”泰格警告说。

"Tell us what the magic feathers showed you again," she asked Blaze. "Maybe there was a clue about where to start searching," said Tag. Blaze closed her eyes, trying to remember. "I saw firehawks on Fire Island," Blaze said. "One of them—their leader—plucked three golden feathers from her tail. Then there was a bright light and a door appeared out of nowhere." Blaze opened her eyes and looked at her friends. "Then the firehawks all disappeared through the door."

“再告诉我们一遍那些神奇的羽毛让你看到了什么。”她问Blaze。 “也许有线索告诉我们从哪里开始搜索，”泰格说。 Blaze闭上眼睛，努力回忆。 “我在火岛上看到火鹰，”布雷兹说。 其中一只——他们的首领——从她的尾巴上拔下了三根金色的羽毛。 然后有一道亮光，不知从哪里出现了一扇门。” 布雷兹睁开眼睛看着她的朋友们。 “然后火鹰都从门里消失了。”

"A portal," Grey whispered, stroking his chin feathers. "A magical doorway that can only be opened by a magical object." "Maybe the feathers are the key to opening the portal," Skyla said. Blaze hopped up and down excitedly. Grey looked unsure. "Perhaps," he said. "But you should take the Ember Stone with you, too. When it regains its powers, it could be useful." Tag pulled the Ember Stone from his sack. It was dull and cold. Its magic used to glow, but the stone had not glowed since it sucked up Thorn's dark shadow. He placed it back into his sack.

“传送门。”格雷抚摸着下巴上的羽毛，低声说。 “一扇只有魔法物品才能打开的魔法门” “也许这些羽毛是打开传送门的钥匙。”斯凯拉说。 Blaze兴奋地跳上跳下。 格雷显得很不确定。“也许吧，”他说。 “但你也应该带上烬石。 当它恢复力量时，它可能会有用。” 泰格从麻袋里掏出烬石。 天气沉闷而寒冷。它的魔法曾经发光，但自从它吸走了索恩的黑影后，就再也没有发光过。 他把它放回麻袋里。

The friends gathered their supplies and filled Tag's sack with fruit, nuts, and water. Tag took his dagger, and Skyla took her slingshot. "Good luck," Grey said. "And stay on your guard. There are dangers beyond this land." Tag took a last glance at Valor Wood— the beautiful trees and the tinkling stream. His home. The three friends waved goodbye to Grey. "To Fire Island!" Tag said. "We must find the portal to the Cloud Kingdom!" And so their journey began.

朋友们收集了他们的补给，在塔格的袋子里装满了水果、坚果和水。 泰格拿着他的匕首，斯凯拉拿着她的弹弓。 “祝你好运。”格雷说。“保持警惕。 在这片土地之外还有危险。” 泰格最后看了一眼英勇森林——美丽的树木和叮叮当当的小溪。 他的家。三个朋友向格雷挥手告别。 “去火岛！”标签说。 “我们必须找到通往云王国的入口！”于是他们的旅程开始了。
