En: The mists were slowly rising over lake Bled, revealing a view of the island with a church in the middle of the lake. Sl: Jesensko listje okoli jezera je bilo živo rdeče in oranžno. En: The autumn leaves around the lake were a vibrant red and orange. Sl: Maja in Anže sta hodila ob obali, z nahrbtniki in palicami v rokah. En: Maja and Anže were walking along the shore, backpacks and walking sticks in hand. Sl: "Dan je res prelep za pohodništvo," je rekla Maja, pri čemer je skrivala bolečico v glasu. En: "The day is really beautiful for hiking," said Maja, masking the pain in her voice. Sl: Občudovala je okolico, njen obraz pa je bil bel. En: She admired the surroundings, but her face was pale. Sl: "Je res, ampak ne izgledaš dobro. En: "It is, but you don't look well. Sl: Si prepričana, da si v redu? En: Are you sure you're okay?" Sl: " jo je vprašal Anže, ki ni mogel skriti svoje skrbi. En: Anže asked, unable to hide his concern. Sl: Maja je prikimala in se nasmehnila. En: Maja nodded and smiled. Sl: "Samo malo sem utrujena, želim priti do tiste razgledne točke. En: "I'm just a bit tired, I want to reach that lookout point. Sl: Potem se vrneva," je zagotovila. En: Then we'll head back," she assured him. Sl: Toda Anže je videl, da njena hoja ni več tako energična. En: But Anže noticed her steps were no longer energetic. Sl: Njena odločnost ga je skrbela. En: Her determination worried him. Sl: Pot sta nadaljevala po poti, obdajala sta ju vetrič in šelestenje suhih listov pod nogami. En: They continued along the path, surrounded by a gentle breeze and the rustle of dry leaves underfoot. Sl: Ko sta se vse bližala razgledni točki, je Maja nenadoma zastala. En: As they got closer to the lookout point, Maja suddenly stopped. Sl: Njena glava je bila težka, svet se je začel vrteti. En: Her head felt heavy, and the world began to spin. Sl: "Maja," je zavpil Anže, ko jo je videl, kako kleca. En: "Maja," shouted Anže as he saw her kneel down. Sl: Pohitel je k njej in jo ujel, preden je padla na tla. En: He rushed to her and caught her before she fell to the ground. Sl: "Oprosti, Anže. En: "Sorry, Anže... Sl: Zelo slabo mi je," je zašepetala in zaprla oči. En: I'm feeling very unwell," she whispered and closed her eyes. Sl: V tistem trenutku je Anžeta prešinilo, da njeno stanje ni nekaj, kar lahko spregledata. En: At that moment, it dawned on Anže that her condition wasn't something they could ignore. Sl: Poklical je pomoč in ji dal piti vodo, medtem ko jo je držal pokonci. En: He called for help and gave her some water while holding her up. Sl: Ko je Maja spet odprla oči, je bila v ambulantnem vozilu. En: When Maja opened her eyes again, she was in an ambulance. Sl: Anže je sedel poleg nje, njegova roka je nežno držala njeno. En: Anže sat next to her, his hand gently holding hers. Sl: "Mislila sem, da zmorem," je pojasnila tiho. En: "I thought I could manage," she explained quietly. Sl: "Pomembno je, da zdaj poskrbiš zase. En: "The important thing is to take care of yourself now. Sl: Še bova hodila skupaj, ko boš...

En: The leaves gently fell to the ground as Jure stepped through the doors of the large family house. Sl: Hiša je bila polna ljudi, glasov in smeha. En: The house was filled with people, voices, and laughter. Sl: Vonj po sveži potici in šelestenju ognja iz kaminov je napolnil prostor. En: The scent of fresh potica and the rustling of fire from the fireplaces filled the space. Sl: Jure se je počutil malo izgubljenega. En: Jure felt a little lost. Sl: Prišel je iz tujine, da bi spoznal svojo družino in svoje slovenske korenine. En: He had come from abroad to meet his family and discover his Slovenian roots. Sl: A vse to mu je bilo novo in malo nenavadno. En: Yet, all of this was new and somewhat strange to him. Sl: Na drugi strani sobe je Tanja veselo kramljala s sorodniki. En: On the other side of the room, Tanja was cheerfully chatting with relatives. Sl: Kljub svoji veselemu značaju, se je tudi ona počutila nekoliko omejena s pričakovanji majhnega mesta. En: Despite her cheerful nature, she also felt somewhat confined by the expectations of a small town. Sl: Pogosto je razmišljala o potovanjih in novih dogodivščinah. En: She often thought about traveling and new adventures. Sl: Ko se je Jure pogumno pridružil skupini, ki je igrala staro slovensko glasbo, si je želel najti način, kako se bolj povezati z drugimi. En: When Jure bravely joined the group playing old Slovenian music, he wished to find a way to connect more with others. Sl: Tanja pa je v tem videla priložnost, da spozna koga, ki zna gledati širše na svet. En: Tanja, on the other hand, saw this as an opportunity to meet someone who could look at the world in broader terms. Sl: Kasneje so se sorodniki zbrali v dnevni sobi, kjer so skupaj delili potovalne zgodbe in izkušnje. En: Later, the relatives gathered in the living room where they shared travel stories and experiences. Sl: Tanja je sedla blizu Jureta, radovedna, kaj bi lahko izvedela o njegovih potovanjih. En: Tanja sat close to Jure, curious about what she might learn about his travels. Sl: Pogumno se je nagnila naprej: "Jure, povedali so mi, da si veliko prepotoval. En: She leaned forward bravely: "Jure, I heard you've traveled a lot. Sl: Kako je v tujini? En: What is it like abroad?" Sl: ""Veliko drugače," je odgovoril Jure, "a zmeraj me je nazaj vleklo, da bi vedel, od kod prihaja moja družina. En: "Very different," Jure replied, "but I always felt drawn back to know where my family comes from. Sl: Slovenija je tako lepa. En: Slovenia is so beautiful." Sl: " Njegove besede so bile iskrene, njegova želja, da najde svoj prostor tu, je bila očitna. En: His words were sincere, and his desire to find his place here was clear. Sl: Pogovor z Juretovo iskrenostjo je Tanjo navdušil. En: The conversation sparked by Jure's sincerity inspired Tanja. Sl: Skupaj sta se oddaljila od množice, našla tišino na vrtu, obdanem z jesenskimi barvami. En: Together, they moved away from the crowd and found serenity in the garden, surrounded by autumn colors. Sl: Oba sta se odprla. En: They both opened up. Sl: Jure ji je pripovedoval o svojih popotovanjih, o mestih, ki jih je obiskal,...

En: The event began on a chilly autumn evening by Blejsko jezero (Lake Bled). Sl: Zala je pogledala čez krog dreves, ki so zlatose lesketali v jesenskem listju, in začutila veter, ki ji je pihal skozi lase. En: Zala looked across the circle of trees, shimmering golden in the autumn foliage, and felt the wind blowing through her hair. Sl: Bila je odločena. En: She was determined. Sl: Tokrat bo zagotovo ujela dokaze o blejskem zmaju. En: This time, she would surely capture evidence of the Bled dragon. Sl: "Ljubica, je to res potrebno? En: "Honey, is this really necessary?" Sl: " je vprašal Matej, ki je gledal svojo punco z mešanico začudenja in občudovanja. En: asked Matej, looking at his girlfriend with a mixture of wonder and admiration. Sl: "Seveda, Matej. En: "Of course, Matej. Sl: To je priložnost. En: This is an opportunity. Sl: Noč čarovnic je posebej magična," mu je odgovorila Zala z iskrivimi očmi. En: Halloween is especially magical," replied Zala with sparkling eyes. Sl: Poleg njiju je stal Boris, njihov prijatelj z bujno domišljijo. En: Beside them stood Boris, their friend with an imaginative flair. Sl: Nosil je velik plašč, poln žepkov, polnih nenavadnih pripomočkov. En: He wore a large coat, full of pockets stuffed with unusual gadgets. Sl: Iz enega je izvlekel nekaj, kar je izgledalo kot rog. En: From one, he pulled out something that looked like a horn. Sl: "To je zmajev klic," je rekel Boris s širokim nasmehom. En: "This is the dragon's call," said Boris with a wide smile. Sl: "Prepričan sem, da bo deloval. En: "I'm sure it will work." Sl: "Matej je zavzdihnil, vendar ni rekel nič. En: Matej sighed but said nothing. Sl: Vedel je, da je ta večer pomemben za Zalo. En: He knew this evening was important for Zala. Sl: Čeprav ni verjel v zmaja, ji ni hotel pokvariti upanja. En: Although he didn't believe in the dragon, he didn't want to spoil her hope. Sl: Skupaj so se odpravili na izlet proti jezeru. En: Together, they set out on a trip toward the lake. Sl: Megla je ležala tiho kot tančica nad serenosjo vodo, otok s cerkvico pa se je zdel skorajda nadnaraven. En: The fog lay quietly like a veil over the serene water; the island with the church seemed almost supernatural. Sl: Zala si je predstavljala, kako se bo njen obraz pojavil na naslovnicah časopisov, ko bo dokazala obstoj zmaja. En: Zala imagined her face appearing on newspaper covers when she would prove the dragon's existence. Sl: Ko so prispeli do roba jezera, je Boris začel s svojim posebnim ritualom. En: When they reached the edge of the lake, Boris started his special ritual. Sl: Oblekel je smešen papirnat kostum zmaja in hrumel, kot da je dejansko zmajev glas. En: He donned a funny paper dragon costume and roared as if he were truly a dragon's voice. Sl: Turisti na bližnji poti so se obrnili in ga radovedno opazovali, nekateri pa celo odhajali, prestrašeni nad njegovim početjem. En: Tourists on the nearby path turned and watched him curiously, some even leaving, frightened by his antics. Sl: Zala se je komaj zadrževala, da ni bruhnila v smeh, vendar je ostala osredotočena. En: Zala could barely hold back her...

Sl: Mateja je bila predana in kreativna cvetličarka, a nekaj jo je skrbelo. En: Mateja was a dedicated and creative florist, but something worried her. Sl: Ko je postavljala svojo stojnico, je Mateja pogledala na drugo stran, kjer je stal Tomaž. En: As she set up her stand, Mateja glanced across to where Tomaž stood.

En: The wind of the storm ruffled Mateja's hair as she walked among the ruins of the small coastal village. Sl: Zapuščene kamnite hiše so se opirale druga na drugo, kot da še vedno čakajo na prebivalce, ki so jih nekoč napolnjevali z življenjem. En: Abandoned stone houses leaned on each other, as if still waiting for the inhabitants who once filled them with life. Sl: Listje je šumelo pod njenimi nogami, valovi pa so se lomili na bližnji obali. En: Leaves rustled under her feet, and waves crashed on the nearby shore. Sl: Jesen je vsepovsod risala svoje barve. En: Autumn painted its colors everywhere. Sl: Mateja je prišla sem iskati... nekaj. En: Mateja came here searching for... something. Sl: Smisel, mir, preprosto točko, kjer bi lahko ponovno našla dom. En: Meaning, peace, simply a place where she could once again find a home. Sl: Bojan se je skrival za starim zidom, opazoval je njene poteze. En: Bojan hid behind an old wall, observing her movements. Sl: Videti je bila odločna, vendar je zaslutil senco žalosti v njenih očeh. En: She appeared determined, but he sensed a shadow of sadness in her eyes. Sl: Tudi on je bil tukaj iz podobnih razlogov – pošteno čistil naselje, v upanju, da bi našel nekaj vrednega, kar bi mu lahko pomagalo preživeti prihajajoče mesece. En: He too was here for similar reasons—honestly cleaning up the settlement, hoping to find something valuable that could help him survive the coming months. Sl: Na koncu dneva, ko se je sonce spuščalo proti obzorju, sta se srečala ob stari fontani. En: At the end of the day, as the sun dipped toward the horizon, they met by the old fountain. Sl: Najprej sta si le zadržano prikimala. En: At first, they just nodded to each other reservedly. Sl: »Iščeš kaj posebnega?« je vprašal Bojan, ko je z naporom dvignil kos zarjavelega železa. En: "Are you looking for something special?" Bojan asked as he laboriously lifted a piece of rusty iron. Sl: Mateja je z nasmehom skomignila. En: Mateja shrugged with a smile. Sl: »Nekaj kar me bo spomnilo, da nisem sama.« En: "Something to remind me that I'm not alone." Sl: V tednih, ki so sledili, sta se učila sodelovati. En: In the weeks that followed, they learned to collaborate. Sl: Mateja je hotela postaviti znak – ogromen bakl, ki bi opozarjal morebitne preživele, da tukaj ni vse izgubljeno. En: Mateja wanted to erect a sign—a huge beacon to signal to potential survivors that not all was lost here. Sl: Bojan sprva ni bil naklonjen ideji. En: Bojan was initially opposed to the idea. Sl: »Tak znak bo le privabil nezveste,« je oporekal. En: "Such a sign will only attract traitors," he objected. Sl: A Matejina vztrajnost je bila nalezljiva. En: But Mateja's persistence was contagious. Sl: In globoko v sebi je Bojan začutil, da je morda čas, da začne zaupati spet nekomu drugemu. En: And deep down, Bojan felt that it might be time to start trusting someone else again. Sl: Njuna različna pogleda sta pogosto povzročala trenja, toda skupna naloga jih je prisilila v kompromis. En: Their differing views often caused friction, but the common task forced them into compromise. Sl: Bojan je poskrbel za tehnično plat...

En: "Show me, Nina, where are the most beautiful leaves," he encouraged his daughter. Sl: Ona ga je prijela za roko in ga odpeljala v bližnji gozd. En: She took his hand and led him to the nearby woods. Sl: Oba sta se smejala in lovila liste, ki so jih nosili hladni jesenski vetrovi.

Sl: V mestu je izgubil kreativno iskro. En: He had lost his creative spark in the city. Sl: Prišel je v Bled, da bi našel navdih. En: He came to Bled to find inspiration. Sl: Na drugi strani obale je bila Nika. En: On the other side of the shore was Nika. Sl: Njena kamera je ujela lepoto, a njen obraz je izražal nekaj globljega. En: Her camera captured the beauty, but her face expressed something deeper. Sl: Nika je pogosto mislila na svojega brata Tomaža. En: Nika often thought of her brother, Tomaž. Sl: Vsaka fotografija ji je pomagala, da njegov spomin ne zbledi. En: Each photograph helped her keep his memory from fading. Sl: Danes je bil poseben dan - dan vseh svetih - in vsako leto jo je spominjal na izgubo. En: Today was a special day - All Saints' Day - and every year it reminded her of her loss. Sl: Miha je opazoval Niko. En: Miha observed Nika. Sl: Opazil je solzo, ki se je zabliskala v njenih očeh, in občutil je povezanost, ki jo je ni mogel ignorirati. En: He noticed a tear glistening in her eyes and felt a connection he couldn’t ignore. Sl: Počasi je stopil bližje. En: He slowly stepped closer. Sl: "Lepa svetloba, kajne? En: "Beautiful light, isn't it?" Sl: " je rekel, da bi prekinil tišino. En: he said to break the silence. Sl: Nika je pogledala navzgor in se nasmehnila, čeprav z malce žalosti v očeh. En: Nika looked up and smiled, though with a touch of sadness in her eyes. Sl: "Res je. En: "It is. Sl: Vsako leto pridem sem. En: I come here every year. Sl: Pomaga," je rekla potiho. En: It helps," she said quietly. Sl: Miha je v svoji kameri pregledoval prizore in poskušal razumeti svojo ustvarjalno blokado. En: Miha reviewed the scenes in his camera, trying to understand his creative block. Sl: Njegove fotografije so bile brez življenja, brez duše. En: His photographs were lifeless, soulless. Sl: Toda Nika ga je navdihovala. En: But Nika inspired him. Sl: Povabila ga je, da skupaj ujameta najboljše odraz barv na jezeru. En: She invited him to capture the best reflections of colors on the lake together. Sl: V tistem trenutku, ko sta njihovi kameri kliknili skoraj istočasno, je narava ponudila darilo. En: In that moment, when their cameras clicked almost simultaneously, nature offered a gift. Sl: Sonce je prekinilo meglo in nebo, razkrilo prelivajoče barve jeseni na vodi. En: The sun broke through the mist and the sky revealed the flowing colors of autumn on the water. Sl: To je bil čaroben trenutek, kot bi jih Tomaž iz nebes blagoslovil.
