Story Transcript:

Sl: Svetloba zimske solsticijske noči obarva ruševine Emone v mehko svetlobo.
En: The light of the winter solstice night casts the ruins of Emona in a soft glow.

Sl: Sneg krasi stare kamne, kjer tiho stoje stoletja zgodovine.
En: Snow adorns the ancient stones, where centuries of history stand silently.

Sl: Matej, Ana in Borut se pomikajo med ruševinami, vsak s svojim razlogom.
En: Matej, Ana, and Borut move among the ruins, each with their own reason.

Sl: Matej sanja o velikem odkritju, Ana sledi svojim družinskim skrivnostim, Borut pa teži k varovanju legend svojega doma.
En: Matej dreams of a great discovery, Ana follows her family secrets, and Borut aims to protect the legends of his homeland.

Sl: Veter šepeta zgodbe iz daljnih časov, ko se trio ustavi pred zrušenim stebrom.
En: The wind whispers stories from distant times as the trio stops in front of a fallen column.

Sl: Na tleh se blešči stara plošča, skrita pod plastjo prahu.
En: An old plaque glistens on the ground, hidden under a layer of dust.

Sl: Matej opazi ozko odprtino, skrito pod njo.
En: Matej notices a narrow opening beneath it.

Sl: "Poglejta," vzklikne.
En: "Look," he exclaims.

Sl: "Morda je to skrivni prehod!
En: "This might be a hidden passage!"

Sl: "Ana se sklonjena bliža plošči.
En: Ana leans closer to the plaque.

Sl: Njene oči zasvetijo od zanimanja.
En: Her eyes light up with interest.

Sl: "Vidiš, Borut?
En: "See, Borut?

Sl: Tvoja legendarna skrivališča bi lahko bila resnična.
En: Your legendary hideouts might be real."

Sl: "Borut ostaja previden.
En: Borut remains cautious.

Sl: "Legende pravijo, da nekateri vhodi vodijo do nevarnosti," opozori.
En: "The legends say some entrances lead to danger," he warns.

Sl: Matej se ne ustavi.
En: Matej does not stop.

Sl: "Samo pogledati moramo.
En: "We just need to take a look.

Sl: To bi lahko bilo pomembno odkritje," trdi, že se nagnjen naprej k odpiranju plošče.
En: This could be an important discovery," he insists, already leaning forward to open the plaque.

Sl: Ana sledi Mateju, njena tajanstvena navdušitev je skoraj otipljiva.
En: Ana follows Matej, her mysterious excitement almost tangible.

Sl: V sebi nosi skrivnost, ki jo vodi globlje, dražeča senca družinske zgodbe, zakopane v temnih katakombah.
En: She carries a secret within herself, leading her deeper, a tantalizing shadow of a family story, buried in dark catacombs.

Sl: Borut vzdihne, razpet med spoštovanjem do tradicije in raziskovalnim duhom svojih prijateljev.
En: Borut sighs, torn between respect for tradition and the exploratory spirit of his friends.

Sl: "Dobro, vendar previdno," reče.
En: "Alright, but carefully," he says.

Sl: Vhod odpira zmehčana luč sveč, ki plešejo na hladnih stenah.
En: The entrance is lit by softened candlelight, dancing on the cold walls.

Sl: Koraki odzvanjajo v praznih dvoranah, ko trojica vstopi v neznano.
En: Steps echo in the empty halls as the trio enters the unknown.

Sl: Pot se zdi neskončna in brezmejna, spremstvo skrivnostnih senc.
En: The path seems endless and boundless, accompanied by mysterious shadows.

Sl: V srcu ruševin naletijo na sobano, polno simbolov.
En: In the heart of the ruins, they encounter a chamber full of symbols.

Sl: Stene krasijo relikvije iz rimskih časov.
En: The walls are adorned with relics from Roman times.

Sl: Matejov dih zastane.
En: Matej's breath catches.

Sl: Tukaj je, kar je iskal.
En: Here it is, what he has been searching for.

Sl: Starodavni artefakt leži pred njim, pokrit s starodavnimi zapiski.
En: An ancient artifact lies before him, covered with archaic inscriptions.

Sl: Toda Ana izda izdajo, ki jo je nosila.
En: But Ana reveals the betrayal she has been carrying.

Sl: "To je del zgodovine moje družine.
En: "This is part of my family's history.

Sl: O tem so mi pripovedovali, da je nevaren," priznava s stisnjenimi ustnicami.
En: They told me it's dangerous," she admits with pressed lips.

Sl: "Ne vemo, kaj bo prebudilo.
En: "We don’t know what it might awaken."

Sl: "Matej mora izbrati.
En: Matej must choose.

Sl: Borut ga opomni na prednike.
En: Borut reminds him of their ancestors.

Sl: "Nevarnost je morda večja," reče z razumom in starodavno modrostjo.
En: "The danger might be greater," he says with reason and ancient wisdom.

Sl: Matej premisli, težo preteklosti čuti na ramenih.
En: Matej reflects, feeling the weight of the past on his shoulders.

Sl: Sčasoma spoštuje pomembnost dediščine.
En: Eventually, he respects the significance of heritage.

Sl: Skupaj se odločijo, da pustijo artefakt pri miru, da ohranijo skrivnosti Emone.
En: Together, they decide to leave the artifact untouched, preserving the secrets of Emona.

Sl: Pogumno se obrnejo in zapustijo sobano, s povsem novim spoštovanjem do preteklosti.
En: Bravely, they turn and leave the chamber, with a newfound respect for the past.

Sl: Ko se vrnejo na zimsko noč, se svet okrog njih zdi drugačen.
En: As they return to the winter night, the world around them seems different.

Sl: Matej razume, da je dediščina več kot le akademska kariera.
En: Matej understands that heritage is more than just an academic career.

Sl: Ana se ponosno smeji svoji dediščini, Borutu pa lega na srce novo spoštovanje do preteklosti.
En: Ana proudly smiles at her heritage, and Borut feels a new respect for the past settle in his heart.

Sl: Njihova odločitev, da skrivnosti Emone ostanejo nedotaknjene, jih poveže na način, ki ga le redki razumejo.
En: Their decision to keep the secrets of Emona unscathed binds them in a way that few understand.

Sl: Pod svetlobo solsticijskih luči stari kamni še naprej šepetajo svoje zgodbe.
En: Under the light of the solstice, the ancient stones continue to whisper their stories.

En: The sanctuary of the ruins' secrets remains a part of their shared tradition and responsibility.
