Story Transcript:

Sl: Matej in Anja sta slišala zgodbe o Blejskem gradu že od malih nog.
En: Matej and Anja had heard stories about Bled Castle since they were little.

Sl: Zdaj sta tam, jesensko sonce sijo na zlatem listju okoli.
En: Now they were there, with the autumn sun shining on the golden leaves around.

Sl: Grad je bil veličasten, visoko nad jezerom Bled.
En: The castle was magnificent, towering high above Lake Bled.

Sl: Matej se je vrhuncev veselil - razgled je bil spektakularen.
En: Matej was excited about the highlights—the view was spectacular.

Sl: "Anja, glej ta razgled!
En: "Anja, look at this view!"

Sl: " je vzkliknil Matej, a njegov nasmešek je kar naenkrat izginil.
En: Matej exclaimed, but his smile suddenly disappeared.

Sl: Planned exploration njegovega radovednega duha je prekinila huda migrena.
En: The planned exploration of his curious spirit was interrupted by a severe migraine.

Sl: Bolečina ga je tiščala za oči, svetloba mu je postala mučna.
En: Pain pressed behind his eyes, and the light became unbearable.

Sl: Anja je takoj opazila spremembo.
En: Anja immediately noticed the change.

Sl: "Vse je v redu, Matej?
En: "Are you alright, Matej?"

Sl: " jo je zgrabil strah.
En: she asked, worried.

Sl: Matej se je komaj uspel nasmehniti.
En: Matej managed to smile weakly.

Sl: "Potrebujem miren kotiček," je izdavil.
En: "I need a quiet corner," he uttered.

Sl: S skupnimi močmi sta našla miren kotiček v senčnem delu gradu.
En: Together they found a peaceful spot in a shaded part of the castle.

Sl: Anja je stekla na pomoč.
En: Anja rushed to find help.

Sl: Našla je vodnika, ki je vedel za skrit prostor v gradu z mehko klopjo in starinskimi zavesami, ki jezdržale svetlobo.
En: She found a guide who knew about a hidden space in the castle with a soft bench and antique curtains that blocked the light.

Sl: Ko sta tam, Anja izvleče zalogo zeliščnih čajev, ki jih je vedno nosila s seboj, za vsak slučaj.
En: Once there, Anja pulled out her stash of herbal teas that she always carried just in case.

Sl: Ni vedela, ali bo pomagalo, a Mateju je začela pripravljati topel zeliščni napitek.
En: She didn't know if it would help, but she started preparing a warm herbal drink for Matej.

Sl: Matej je zaprl oči in skušal umiriti misli.
En: Matej closed his eyes and tried to calm his thoughts.

Sl: Z vsakim požirkom je čutil, kako migrena popušča.
En: With each sip, he felt the migraine ease.

Sl: Anja mu je položila roko na ramo in mu nežno masirala sence.
En: Anja placed a hand on his shoulder and gently massaged his temples.

Sl: "Hvala," je zamomljal.
En: "Thank you," he murmured.

Sl: Po uri počitka je Matej odprl oči.
En: After an hour of rest, Matej opened his eyes.

Sl: Bolečina je skoraj izginila.
En: The pain had almost vanished.

Sl: Sonce se je začelo spuščati in zalilo grad z mehko svetlobo.
En: The sun had begun to set, bathing the castle in a soft light.

Sl: "Uspelo nama je, Anja," je rekel, njegov glas je bil poln hvaležnosti.
En: "We did it, Anja," he said, his voice full of gratitude.

Sl: Stala sta ob obzidu in občudovala sončni zahod nad jezerom.
En: They stood by the wall, admiring the sunset over the lake.

Sl: Matej je začutil, kako pomembno je razumeti svoje meje, Anja pa je pridobila samozavest, da lahko rešuje nepričakovane težave.
En: Matej realized how important it is to understand his limits, while Anja gained confidence in her ability to solve unexpected problems.

Sl: Tiste jesenske večere je bil Bled na lepem kraju.
En: On those autumn evenings, Bled was a beautiful place.

Sl: Pokazal jima je, da je resnična moč v razumevanju, podpori in ljubezni.
En: It showed them that true strength lies in understanding, support, and love.

Sl: Oba sta vedela, da sta skupaj še močnejša.
En: Both knew that they were even stronger together.
