Especially in such cold weather."Sl: Bojan je bil ves čas tiho.En: Bojan remained silent all the time.Sl: Njegove oči so pozorno pogledovale proti gozdu.En: His eyes were vigilantly focused on the forest.Sl: Njegovo znanje območja je bilo neprecenljivo.En: His knowledge of the area was invaluable.Sl: Nenadoma se je ustavil.En: Suddenly, he stopped.Sl: "Ali veš kaj o tem?" je Matej vprašal Bojana.En: "Do you know anything about this?" Matej asked Bojan.Sl: Bojan je prikimal.En: Bojan nodded.Sl: "Družina mi je pripovedovala zgodbe. Govorijo o starodavnem obredu.En: "My family told me stories. They speak of an ancient ritual.Sl: Duhovi se pokažejo le nevednežem.En: Spirits appear only to the ignorant.Sl: A ti koraki so opozorilo.En: But these steps are a warning.Sl: Nevarnost je blizu."En: Danger is near."Sl: Kljub Aninim pomislekom sta Matej in Bojan začela slediti stopinjam.En: Despite Ana's concerns, Matej and Bojan began to follow the footprints.Sl: Ana je nerada sledila.En: Ana reluctantly followed.Sl: Snežna pot se je vije v gozd.En: The snowy path led into the forest.Sl: Snežna zavesa, ki je pokrivala drevesa, jim je zaslonila pogled.En: The snow curtain that covered the trees obstructed their view.Sl: Skupina je nadaljevala pot.En: The group continued on.Sl: V gozdu je bil zrak težji.En: In the forest, the air was heavier.Sl: V daljavi so slišali zvoke.En: In the distance, they heard sounds.Sl: Glasovi, kot šepet iz preteklosti.En: Voices, like whispers from the past.Sl: Mateju je srce hitreje bilo.En: Matej's heart beat faster.Sl: Naenkrat je Bojan ustavil in se obrnil proti njima.En: Suddenly, Bojan stopped and turned to them.Sl: "Tu se obred običajno konča," je rekel.En: "This is where the ritual usually ends," he said.Sl: "Starodavni duhovi se vrnejo v senčne dežele."En: "Ancient spirits return to the shadowy lands."Sl: Matej in Ana sta se ozrla okoli.En: Matej and Ana looked around.Sl: Velike sledi so nenadoma izginile.En: The large footprints suddenly disappeared.Sl: Tišina je bila blagodejna in čarobna.En: The silence was soothing and magical.Sl: "Možno je, da je legenda resnična," je rekel Matej, s spoštovanjem v glasu.En: "It’s possible that the legend is true," said Matej, with respect in his voice.Sl: Ana je bila tiha.En: Ana was silent.Sl: Globoko v sebi je začutila čar preteklosti.En: Deep inside, she felt the charm of the past.Sl: Iskanje odgovorov je pogosto samo začetek potovanja.En: Seeking answers is often just the beginning of the journey.Sl: Ko so zapuščali gozd, so se tračnice v preteklost in sedanjost zbližale.En: As they left the forest, the tracks between the past and the present drew closer.Sl: Morda skrivnosti res ostanejo nerazrešene, a njihova povezanost z duhom kraja je ostala.En: Perhaps mysteries indeed remain unresolved, but their ...
