Story Transcript:
Lv: Debesīs zilums bija dziļš kā nekad, saules stari mirdzēja cauri koku lapām, kas klāja Vecrīgas drupas.
En: The sky's blueness was as deep as never before, and the sun's rays glimmered through the leaves of the trees, covering the ruins of Vecrīga.
Lv: Kādreiz šeit bija pilsētas sirds, bet tagad - tikai klusums un pamestība.
En: Once, this was the heart of the city, but now - only silence and abandonment.
Lv: Midzenī ceļoja trīs dažādi ļaudis - Edgars, Laima un Arvis.
En: In the midst of it all traveled three different people - Edgars, Laima, and Arvis.
Lv: Edgars bija kā cilvēks no citām pasaulēm, izsalcis pēc atklāsmēm, kuras, viņš ticēja, slēpās pašā Vecrīgas sirdī.
En: Edgars was like a person from other worlds, hungry for revelations that he believed were hidden in the very heart of Vecrīga.
Lv: "Jāatrod artefakts," viņš bieži atkārtoja saviem pavadoņiem, acis mirdzošas ar cerību un atklātnes alkām.
En: "The artifact must be found," he often repeated to his companions, his eyes shining with hope and a longing for discovery.
Lv: Viņš staigāja ar mērķtiecīgu soli, pat tad, kad citi apstājās atpūtas brīdī.
En: He walked with a determined step, even when others stopped for a moment of rest.
Lv: Laima gāja viņam līdzās, viņas skaistas acis glūnēja ar saviem mērķiem.
En: Laima walked beside him, her beautiful eyes glaring with her own intentions.
Lv: Viņa bija gids, bet viņas motīvi bija apņēmušies arvien tumšāki.
En: She was a guide, but her motives were growing ever darker.
Lv: Tiesa bija tāda, ka viņa meklēja ne tikai artefaktu, bet arī spēku, ko tas varētu dot.
En: The truth was, she sought not only the artifact but also the power it might bring.
Lv: Viņa slēpa savas patiesās vēlmes, baidoties, ka Edgars vai Arvis varētu viņu apturēt.
En: She hid her true desires, fearing that Edgars or Arvis might stop her.
Lv: Arvis, vēsturnieks, kurš cīnījās ar šaubu kalniem, sekoja pārējiem negribīgi.
En: Arvis, a historian struggling with mountains of doubt, reluctantly followed the others.
Lv: Viņš neticēja leģendai par artefaktu, bet viņa ziņkārība lika viņam iet tālāk.
En: He didn't believe in the legend of the artifact, but his curiosity drove him further.
Lv: "Meklējumi bez iestādes," viņš bieži noprot, bet viņa balss bija tikai čuksti starp drupu atbalstiem.
En: "A quest without a cause," he often muttered, but his voice was merely a whisper among the echoes of ruins.
Lv: Kad viņi sasniedza senās pilsētas centru, Edgars izjusti apturēja.
En: When they reached the center of the ancient city, Edgars stopped with emotion.
Lv: Priekšā bija ievērojams piemineklis, pacēlies virs ērkšķiem un vējapļiem kā laika sadedzināta slava.
En: In front of them was a remarkable monument, rising above the thorns and wind-tossed circles like the burned-out glory of time.
Lv: Te jābūt slēptuvei, viņš domāja un sirds piepildījās ar trauksmi.
En: Here must be the hiding place, he thought, and his heart filled with anticipation.
Lv: "Tur ir tas," Edgars teica, viņa balsī bija sajūsma.
En: "There it is," Edgars said, excitement in his voice.
Lv: Tomēr, tiklīdz viņi tuvojās, zeme sagrūva.
En: However, as soon as they approached, the ground gave way.
Lv: Saskrāpētas akmeņu plāksnes drebēja, un drupu stabi sāka ļodzīties.
En: The scratched stone slabs shook, and the pillars of ruins began to sway.
Lv: Laima kliedza, "Aizbēgam!
En: Laima screamed, "Let's escape!"
Lv: " bet Edgars skrēja tur, kur viņam šķita, ka atradīs artefaktu.
En: but Edgars ran to where he thought he would find the artifact.
Lv: Arvis, kricelējot vēstures notikumos savās pārņemtajās domās, ķēra Edgara roku, "Netaisies!
En: Arvis, scribbling historical events in his overwhelmed thoughts, grabbed Edgars' hand, "Don’t!"
Lv: "Bet Edgars jau bija atradis mērķi.
En: But Edgars had already found his target.
Lv: Artifakta kāre bija neizmērojama.
En: The craving for the artifact was immeasurable.
Lv: Kad viņš to paņēma, zeme trīskāršojās, draudīgi sakustējās un rāpāmais smilks viņus tiešā veidā ieaicināja zemei.
En: When he took it, the ground tripled its quakes, threateningly shifting, and the creeping sand invited them directly into the earth.

Let's take another listen. Listen closely to any parts you
may have missed.

The besis zilums be a dish khanikad saul stermer dee
taur kuo kula pam casklai vetriges drupas.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
The sky's blueness was as deep as never before, and
the sun's rays glimmered through the leaves of the trees
covering the ruins of Vetriga.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Cadre shaed b Pilsat, sirt betaggat, tiquae culusums on pam StEB.

Once this was the heart of the city, but now
only silence and abandonment.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Mine tries daja de lauds Edgars lime on arves.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
In the midst of it all traveled three different people, Edgars,
Lama and Arvis.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Edgars by katilaks no titanpa solem islt spetzat klas ma'am
kurus minchte slapas pasha vatrig sir Dii.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Edgars was like a person from other worlds, worlds hungry
for revelations that he believed were hidden in the very
heart of veth rega.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Ja truth artifact vinjbiege at carto savema atis mirdosh sartib

Speaker 3 (07:16):
The artifact must be found, he often repeated to his companions,
his eyes shining with hope and a longing for discovery.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Vingshtaigai armerte tigusul pattatk astayas at putus bride.
Speaker 3 (07:33):

for a moment of rest.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Laima gui vigyam leads us venus kaystas atis gune arsavemmerkiem.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Lima walked beside him, her beautiful eyes glaring with her
own intentions.
Speaker 1 (07:51):

Speaker 3 (07:59):
She was a guy, but her motives were growing ever darker.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Ti sabia de kavina macle netique arte facto betteris padu.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
The truth was she sought not only the artifact, but
also the power it might bring.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Vignes pass patsas welms by dotes, edgarswe arvestut.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
She hit her true desires, fearing that edgars or arves
might stop her.
Speaker 1 (08:32):

Speaker 3 (08:42):
A historian struggling with mountains of doubt, reluctantly followed the others.
Speaker 1 (08:46):

Speaker 3 (08:56):
He didn't believe in the legend of the artifact, but
his curiosity drove him further.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Maclaim beziestades mingebie zeno prout betvigna bals bi tikee chuk

Speaker 3 (09:12):
A quest without a cause. He often muttered, but his
voice was merely a whisper among the echoes of ruins.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Kadvigni sas de senas pil sat sent edgars is used

Speaker 3 (09:25):
When they reached the center of the ancient city, Edgar
stopped with emotion.
Speaker 1 (09:30):

Speaker 3 (09:41):
In front of them was a remarkable monument, rising above
the thorns and wind tossed circles, like the burned out
glory of time.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
The yabout slaptuve ming doomai un sirt pi pil dia sertrausm.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Here must be the hiding place, he thought, and his
heart filled with anticipation.

Speaker 3 (10:07):
There it is, Edgar said, excitement in his voice.

Speaker 3 (10:27):
The scratched stone slabs shook, and the pillars of ruins
began to sway.

Speaker 3 (10:36):
Lima screamed, let's escape.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
But Edgar scra tur kurviniam schitaka atter dis artifact.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
But Edgars ran to where he thought he would find
the artifact.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Are viskrits layot vastrstekumo savasparnienteas domasker edgar ruku netasis.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Arvis, scribbling historical events in his overwhelmed thoughts. Grabbed Edgar's hand, don't.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
But edgarcio bi atre di smerchi.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
But Edgars had already found his target.
Speaker 1 (11:13):

Speaker 3 (11:18):
The craving for the artifact was immeasurable.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Kadvince to payem zemetris cachoyas draudig sakusteya, sondra pames milk

Speaker 3 (11:33):
When he took it, the ground tripled, its quakes threateningly shifting,
and the creeping sand invited them directly into the earth.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Sitti is glob arvis cuch arcusto chamrue came pallid atre
tell ara camarlaim madnai nos quedro kapet vista.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
The situation was saved by Arvis, who with moving hands
helped find a way out, while Liama tried to understand
why everything was happening as it was.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Kuopigiemspa kyemvignem isdevas isvarites no slat kritu che akme at publick.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Together they managed to evade the trap, and the falling
stones lagged behind.
Speaker 1 (12:20):

Speaker 3 (12:31):
As they stood outside the collapsed area, Lima quietly admitted
I wanted power that bore the question of intent.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Edgar s pagrisa susvigne mumswaikteribu nevisvaru.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Edgars turned to her and said, we need hope, not power.
Speaker 1 (12:50):

Speaker 3 (12:59):

also what might be.

spirit of humanity became the majestic hope.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Cadres vientus Edgar sapra takavina sapnes no speiks iestes Viennaia.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Once lonely, Edgars understood that his dream could not survive
in isolation.

Speaker 3 (14:00):
Climbing from the ruins, they sensed that somewhere beyond the
abandoned fields, there was a world waiting for hope.
