Story Transcript:
Et: Maarja tõmbas kapuutsi tihedalt ümber oma näo ja hingas sügavalt sisse.
En: Maarja pulled the hood tightly around her face and took a deep breath.
Et: Tundra oli lõputu valge platvorm, mis avanes tema silme ees.
En: The tundra was an endless white platform that spread out before her eyes.
Et: Jää ja lumi sulasid päikesekiirtes, tehes maapinna siin-seal libedaks.
En: Ice and snow melted in the sunlight, making the ground slippery here and there.
Et: Kevadine külm oli siiski halastamatu, karedad tuuleiilid närisid iga paljastatud nahka.
En: The spring cold was nonetheless relentless, the rough gusts of wind gnawing at any exposed skin.
Et: "Me peame edasi liikuma," ütles Kalju, Maarja onu, kes seisis tema kõrval.
En: "We have to keep moving," said Kalju, Maarja's uncle, who stood beside her.
Et: Ta silmad olid murest tumedad.
En: His eyes were dark with worry.
Et: "Lauri ei suuda kaua vastu pidada."
En: "Lauri won't be able to hold out for long."
Et: Maarja vaatas oma nooremat venda, kelle nägu oli punane ja kelle huuled sinakaks tõmbunud.
En: Maarja looked at her younger brother, whose face was red and whose lips had turned bluish.
Et: Lauri värises tugevalt, vaatamata sellele, et oli kaetud soojade tekikutega.
En: Lauri was shivering violently, despite being wrapped in warm blankets.
Et: Tal oli tekkinud tugev külmakahjustus, ja nad vajasid abi.
En: He had developed severe frostbite, and they needed help.
Et: "Walpurgi ööl peaks olema rõõmus ja lõbus, aga mitte siin," ohkas Maarja vaikselt.
En: "Walpurgi night should be joyful and fun, but not here," sighed Maarja quietly.
Et: Otsusekindlus Maarjas tugevnes.
En: Determination in Maarja grew stronger.
Et: Ta teadis, et nende ellujäämine sõltub nüüd temast.
En: She knew that their survival now depended on her.
Et: "Ma lähen," ütles Maarja kindlalt.
En: "I will go," said Maarja firmly.
Et: "Ma leian ilmavaatlusjaama ja toon abi."
En: "I will find the weather station and bring help."
Et: Kalju vaatas Maarjale otsa, tema pilk peegeldas uhkust ja kahtlust.
En: Kalju looked at Maarja, his gaze reflecting pride and doubt.
Et: "See on ohtlik, Maarja."
En: "It's dangerous, Maarja."
Et: "Aga vajalik," vastas Maarja viivituseta.
En: "But necessary," replied Maarja without hesitation.
Et: Maarja jättis pärast kiiret hüvastijättu lähedastega laagri maha ning hakkas liikuma.
En: After a quick farewell with her loved ones, Maarja left the camp behind and began to move.
Et: Tuul tantsis raevukalt tema ümber, aga ta ei peatunud.
En: The wind danced fiercely around her, but she did not stop.
Et: Iga samm tundus justkui igavik, aga ta ei lasknud end heidutada.
En: Every step seemed like eternity, but she did not let herself be discouraged.
Et: Ta teadis, et Lauri elu sõltub temast.
En: She knew that Lauri's life depended on her.
Et: Tundide möödudes kippus väsimus Maarjat vaevama.
En: As hours passed, fatigue began to plague Maarja.
Et: Tema jalad muutusid raskeks ja külmus tungis igal sammul õrnemalt tema kehasse.
En: Her legs grew heavy and the cold penetrated more tenderly into her body with every step.
Et: Lõpuks, täpselt siis, kui tundus, et torm võtab viimasegi jõu, ilmus horisondile hoone siluett - ilmavaatlusjaam.
En: Finally,...
