Story Transcript:
Et: Tallinna sügis oli jõudnud kindlusesse.
En: Autumn in Tallinn had reached the fortress.
Et: Oranžikaspunased lehed sahisesid kiviste seinte vahel, tuul vihises läbi praeguste turvaliste, kuid vanasti nii ohtlike koridoride.
En: The orange-red leaves rustled between the stone walls, the wind whistled through the currently safe, but once so dangerous corridors.
Et: Maarja, silmad säramas entusiasmist, seisis kindluse hoovis.
En: Maarja, her eyes shining with enthusiasm, stood in the courtyard of the fortress.
Et: Oli surnuaastapäev, päev, mil mälestati lahkunuid.
En: It was the anniversary of the dead, a day to commemorate those who had passed.
Et: Kuid Maarja tuli siia mitte ainult traditsiooni pärast.
En: But Maarja came here not just because of tradition.
Et: Täna oli ajaloolise taaslavastusürituse kõrgeim päev.
En: Today was the highlight of the historical reenactment event.
Et: Ta soovis midagi enamat — tõestada oma teaduslikke teooriaid.
En: She wanted something more—to prove her scientific theories.
Et: Kaarel astus hoovi kõheldes.
En: Kaarel stepped into the courtyard hesitantly.
Et: "Tere, Maarja," ütles ta ettevaatlikult.
En: "Hello, Maarja," he said cautiously.
Et: "Ma kuulsin, et midagi kummalist juhtus lukustatud toas."
En: "I heard something strange happened in the locked room."
Et: Maarja naeratas kavalalt.
En: Maarja smiled slyly.
Et: "Täpselt.
En: "Exactly.
Et: Kõik räägivad sellest, kuid keegi ei tea, kuidas sinna sisse pääseda."
En: Everyone is talking about it, but no one knows how to get inside."
Et: Maarja teadis, et Kaarel, kuigi kogenematu, omas teravat pilku, ja nii otsustas ta saladuskatte all kaasata teda uurimisse.
En: Maarja knew that Kaarel, although inexperienced, had a keen eye, and so she decided to secretly involve him in the investigation.
Et: Koos vaatasid nad üle uputuse tõttu vett tilkuvaid seinu.
En: Together they surveyed the water-dripping walls due to flooding.
Et: Marja seletas vaikselt: "Minu teooria kohaselt pidi siin olema salakäik.
En: Maarja explained quietly, "According to my theory, there must have been a secret passage here.
Et: Vanadel kaartidel on midagi, kuid täpselt, mis see on, ma veel ei tea."
En: There's something on the old maps, but exactly what it is, I don't yet know."
Et: Kaarel sirutas käe ja puudutas seina.
En: Kaarel reached out and touched the wall.
Et: Seal oli tunda ebatasasusi, mis ei olnud tavalised.
En: There were irregularities that were not usual.
Et: Nad jätkasid otsimist kuni lõpuks leidsid meetrise prao, mis näis liikuvat.
En: They continued searching until they finally found a meter-long crack that seemed to move.
Et: Maarja ja Kaarel ühendasid jõud, et lükata lahti peidetud ukse.
En: Maarja and Kaarel combined their strength to push open the hidden door.
Et: Hingetu pimedus terendas neile vastu, kuid seiklus kutsub!
En: Breathless darkness loomed before them, but adventure calls!
Et: Nad sisenesid valguse loojuvate kiirte saatel.
En: They entered accompanied by the setting rays of light.
Et: Koridor viis neid väikesesse ruumi, kus seisis vana kapp.
En: The corridor led them to a small room where an old cupboard stood.
Et: Maarja avas kapiukse, mille sees lebas tolmunud ajaraamat.
