Marta said, pointing to a narrow alley.Ca: El seu esperit aventurer la feia desitjar explorar cada racó.En: Her adventurous spirit made her want to explore every corner.Ca: Jordi va dubtar, la protecció d'ella era prioritat, però no podia ignorar el seu instint.En: Jordi hesitated; protecting her was a priority, but he couldn't ignore his instinct.Ca: El carreró els va conduir a una plaça petita.En: The alley led them to a small square.Ca: Al centre, una font tancada per l'esllavissada dels edificis a mitges caiguts.En: In the center, a fountain was enclosed by the landslide of semi-collapsed buildings.Ca: Uns individus es veien des de lluny, reunits al voltant d'un foc feble.En: Some individuals could be seen from afar, gathered around a weak fire.Ca: Jordi va reconèixer immediatament la situació: una altra banda de buscadors de supervivència.En: Jordi immediately recognized the situation: another band of survival seekers.Ca: Segons els seus records, Jordi tenia dues opcions: enfrontar-se o negociar.En: According to his memories, Jordi had two options: confront or negotiate.Ca: Per a Marta, la decisió era diferent; seguir el seu instint o escoltar en Jordi.En: For Marta, the decision was different; follow her instinct or listen to Jordi.Ca: Sentí la decisió en el seu interior, com un fuet que bufetejava el rostre.En: She felt the decision within her, like a whip slapping her face.Ca: De sobte, Marta es va avançar. "Pareu!", va cridar, la seva veu va ressonar a les parets dels edificis mig derruïts.En: Suddenly, Marta moved forward. "Stop!" she shouted, her voice echoing off the walls of the half-destroyed buildings.Ca: Aquesta acció va sorprendre Jordi, però va veure la determinació als ulls de la seva germana.En: This action surprised Jordi, but he saw the determination in his sister's eyes.Ca: Es va encetar una conversa tensa, un intercanvi de paraules, on Marta, contra tot pronòstic, va oferir part del que tenien a canvi d'informació.En: A tense conversation began, an exchange of words, where Marta, against all odds, offered part of what they had in exchange for information.Ca: Els buscadors, suspitosos al principi, van acceptar.En: The seekers, suspicious at first, accepted.Ca: Van donar una pista sobre una cambra subterrània, on el vell home que descrivien podria ser el pare dels germans.En: They gave a clue about an underground chamber, where the old man they described could be the siblings' father.Ca: Caminant després, el Jordi, que sempre l'havia protegit, mirà la Marta amb una nova admiració.En: Walking afterward, Jordi, who had always protected her, looked at Marta with newfound admiration.Ca: Va entendre el seu valor i la seva capacitat per a afrontar realitats perilloses.En: He understood her courage and her ability to face dangerous realities.Ca: I Marta va sentir el pes de la responsabilitat que Jordi carregava, respectant la seva prudència.En: And Marta felt the weight of the responsibility Jordi carried, respecting his prudence.Ca: Amb aquest nou coneixement, el seu coratge es va fusionar amb la confiança mútua.En: With this new knowledge, their courage fused with mutual trust.Ca: Sabien que el camí era llarg, però el seguirien junts, amb cada pas més decidit que l'anterior.En: They knew the road was long, but they would follow it together, with each step more determined than the last.Ca: A la llunyania, una llum difusa del sol tardorenc il·luminava el camí a través del Barri Gòtic, prometent sota les runes una mica d'esperança.En: In the distance, a diffuse light from the autumn sun illuminated the path through the Barri Gòtic, promising a bit of hope under the ruins.

Balazs, az út túl hosszú - mondta Zoltan türelmetlenül.En: - Balazs, the path is too long - said Zoltan impatiently.Hu: - Van egy rövidebb út, amit ismernek a helyiek.En: - There is a shorter route known to the locals.Hu: Ha szerencsénk van, még ma elérhetjük.En: If we're lucky, we can reach it by today.Hu: - Kockázatos - felelte Balazs.En: - It's risky - Balazs replied.Hu: - Jobb, ha biztonságosabb úton megyünk.En: - It's better to go by a safer route.Hu: Eszter figyelt, belül vitázva önmagával.En: Eszter listened, internally debating with herself.Hu: Rázós döntés volt, de a felelősség az övé volt.En: It was a risky decision, but the responsibility was hers.Hu: Mély levegőt vett, majd határozottan így szólt:- Kockáztassunk.En: She took a deep breath, then spoke decisively: - Let's take the risk.Hu: Zoltan útját választom.En: I choose Zoltan's route.Hu: Gyorsan és csendben kell mennünk.En: We need to move quickly and quietly.Hu: Ahogy haladtak a sűrűben, hirtelen egy csoport jelent meg az úton.En: As they proceeded through the thicket, suddenly a group appeared on the path.Hu: Idegenek voltak, fegyverrel és zordan.En: They were strangers, armed and grim.Hu: Az útjukat állták, és nem tűntek barátságosnak.En: They blocked their path and did not seem friendly.Hu: Eszter összeszedte minden bátorságát, előrébb lépett, még mielőtt Balazs megállíthatta volna.En: Eszter gathered all her courage, stepping forward before Balazs could stop her.Hu: - Nem akarunk harcot!En: - We don't want a fight!Hu: - mondta Eszter.En: - said Eszter.Hu: - Csak át akarunk menni.En: - We just want to pass through.Hu: A csoport vezetője figyelmesen nézett rá, majd intett embereinek, hogy engedjék tovább őket.En: The leader of the group looked at her intently, then signaled his people to let them pass.Hu: Feszült pillanat volt, de Eszter hangja megingathatatlan nyugalmával győzte meg őket.En: It was a tense moment, but Eszter's voice withstood them with unshakable calmness.Hu: Ahogy továbbjutottak, a nap lassan nyugodni kezdett.En: As they moved on, the sun slowly began to set.Hu: Az erdő fokozatosan nyugalmat árasztott magából.En: The forest gradually exuded tranquility.Hu: Rövidesen megérkeztek egy tisztásra, ahol a táj változást ígért.En: Shortly they arrived at a clearing where the landscape promised change.Hu: Kezdtek reménykedni, hogy valóban közel járnak a szentélyhez.En: They began to hope that they were truly close to the sanctuary.Hu: Este, a tábortűz mellett pihenve, Eszter csöndesen ült.En: In the evening, sitting by the campfire, Eszter sat quietly.Hu: Balazs és Zoltan mellette beszélgettek, de ő csak az elkövetkező útra gondolt.En: Balazs and Zoltan conversed beside her, but she only thought about the road ahead.Hu: Lehet, hogy újrakezdés vár rájuk.En: Perhaps a new beginning awaited them.Hu: Eszter végre rájött, hogy bármi is történjen, nem szabad félnie.En: Eszter finally realized that whatever happened, she must not be afraid.Hu: A döntéseik késleltetése ellenére megtanulta, hogy bízni kell az intuíciójában.En: Despite the delays in their decisions, she learned to trust her intuition.Hu: Együtt képesek lesznek szembenézni bármivel, ami jön.En: Together they could face anything that comes.Hu: Másnap reggel az erdő újra élettel telt meg.En: The next morning, the forest came alive again.Hu: Az avar zörgésével Eszter, Balazs és Zoltan tudták, hogy a szentély valahol ott van előttük.En: With the rustling of leaves, Eszter, Balazs, and Zoltan knew that the sanctuary was somewhere ahead.Hu: Elérhetetlen már nem tűnt – csak egy karnyújtásnyira.En: It no longer seemed unattainable—just an arm's length away.Hu: Ahogy elindultak, Eszter belül már nem rettegett.En: As they set out, Eszter no longer feared inside.Hu: Már nem volt egyedül a félelmeivel – a bátorsága megszületett.En: She was no longer alone with her fears—her courage was born.Hu: Az erdő talán maradt ugyanaz, de benne a változás megtörtént.En: The forest may have remained the same, but inside her, the change had occurred.
