Story Transcript:

El: Το δάσος ήτανε ζωντανό.
En: The dasos was alive.

El: Παπαρούνες και μαργαρίτες ξεμύτιζαν ανάμεσα στα πράσινα φύλλα.
En: Paparounes and margarites peeked out among the green leaves.

El: Οι μαθητές περπατούσαν χαρούμενοι, ακολουθώντας τη δασκάλα τους.
En: The students walked happily, following their teacher.

El: Ήταν μια σχολική εκδρομή ανοιξιάτικη, λίγο πριν το Πάσχα.
En: It was a spring scholike excursion, a little before Pascha.

El: Η Θάλεια, γεμάτη περιέργεια, κοίταζε γύρω της.
En: Thaleia, full of curiosity, looked around her.

El: Είχε διαβάσει για κάτι παλιά ερείπια στο δάσος.
En: She had read about some old ruins in the forest.

El: Είχε αποφασίσει να τα βρει.
En: She had decided to find them.

El: Ο Δημήτριος, ο πιο πρακτικός από τους φίλους της, περπατούσε δίπλα της.
En: Demetrios, the most practical of her friends, walked beside her.

El: "Δεν πρέπει να φύγουμε από την ομάδα," της ψιθύρισε.
En: "We shouldn't leave the group," he whispered to her.

El: Η Καλλίστα, η καινούργια μαθήτρια, επίσης άκουγε, φοβισμένη αλλά και ενθουσιασμένη.
En: Kallista, the new student, also listened, both scared and excited.

El: Κατά το μεσημεριανό, η Θάλεια πρότεινε να πάνε να ψάξουν.
En: Around lunchtime, Thaleia suggested they go searching.

El: "Μόνο για λίγη ώρα," τους είπε.
En: "Only for a little while," she told them.

El: "Θα γυρίσουμε πριν μας καταλάβουν."
En: "We will return before anyone notices."

El: Ο Δημήτριος ανησυχούσε, αλλά ο ενθουσιασμός της Καλλίστας την έπεισε.
En: Demetrios was worried, but enthousiasmos of Kallista convinced him.

El: Δεν ήθελε να χάσει την ευκαιρία να κάνει νέους φίλους.
En: He didn't want to miss the chance to make new friends.

El: Έφυγαν αθόρυβα από την ομάδα.
En: They quietly left the group.

El: Περπατούσαν μέσα στο δάσος, κρυφοκοιτάζοντας πίσω τους.
En: They walked through the forest, glancing back over their shoulders.

El: Ξαφνικά βρήκαν ένα μονοπάτι, κρυμμένο, που οδηγούσε βαθιά στο δάσος.
En: Suddenly, they found a hidden path that led deep into the woods.

El: Οι καρδιές τους χτυπούσαν δυνατά καθώς το ακολουθούσαν.
En: Their hearts pounded loudly as they followed it.

El: Τα ερείπια ήταν εκεί.
En: The ruins were there.

El: Υπέρυθροι πέτρινοι τοίχοι, καλυμμένοι με βρύα, μαρτυρούσαν το παρελθόν.
En: Overgrown stone walls, covered with brya, testified to the past.

El: Όμως κοιτάζοντας γύρω, άκουσαν ήχους.
En: But as they looked around, they heard sounds.

El: Βήματα πλησίαζαν.
En: Footsteps were approaching.

El: Η Θάλεια κοίταξε πίσω, ενώ οι άλλοι σιωπηλοί, συγκρατούσαν την ανάσα τους.
En: Thaleia looked back, while the others, silent, held their breath.

El: Με βιαστικά βήματα, γύρισαν πίσω στην ομάδα.
En: With hurried steps, they returned to the group.

El: Είχαν αποφύγει τον κίνδυνο.
En: They had avoided danger.

El: Η καρδιά τους ακόμα χτυπούσε σαν τύμπανο.
En: Their hearts still beat like drums.

El: Δυνατή, γεμάτη ζωή.
En: Strong, full of life.

El: Κανείς δεν είχε καταλάβει τίποτα.
En: No one had realized anything.

El: Το βράδυ, υποσχέθηκαν να μάθουν περισσότερα για τα ερείπια.
En: That evening, they promised to learn more about the ruins.

El: Η Θάλεια...
