En: Marek with eyes full of curiosity walked along the narrow path in the Tatry mountains. Sk: Bol krásny jesenný deň, slnko svietilo cez farebné listy a vzduch bol chladný a čerstvý. En: It was a beautiful autumn day, the sun shone through the colorful leaves, and the air was cool and fresh. Sk: Vstup do lesa bol ako do iného sveta – tajomného, ale lákavého. En: Entering the forest was like stepping into another world - mysterious, yet inviting. Sk: Škola zorganizovala výlet do Vysokých Tatier a Marek bol pripravený na dobrodružstvo. En: The school had organized a trip to the Vysoké Tatry, and Marek was ready for an adventure. Sk: Nebol však sám; jeho verná kamarátka Lenka po jeho boku nesmela chýbať. En: However, he was not alone; his faithful friend Lenka was by his side. Sk: Jozef, učiteľ a vedúci výletu, viedol celú skupinu. En: Jozef, the teacher and leader of the trip, led the whole group. Sk: "Nikto sa nemôže oddeliť od skupiny," opakoval s vážnym výrazom v tvári. En: "No one can separate from the group," he repeated with a serious expression on his face. Sk: Marek ho len pozorne počúval, jeho myšlienky ale boli inde. En: Marek listened carefully, but his thoughts were elsewhere. Sk: Lenka vedela, čo Marek zamýšľa. En: Lenka knew what Marek was planning. Sk: Počul príbeh o starodávnej stavbe hlboko v lese – miestni hovorili o malinkom zrube, kde kedysi žil samotár. En: He had heard a story about an ancient structure deep in the forest - locals spoke of a tiny cabin where a hermit once lived. Sk: Počas prestávky, keď si všetci ostatní oddýchli, Marek pokrútil hlavou s úškrnom. En: During a break, when everyone else was resting, Marek shook his head with a grin. Sk: "Lenka, poďme sa pozrieť na tú stavbu," zašepkal. En: "Lenka, let's go check out that structure," he whispered. Sk: Lenka sa zamračila a dala mu ruku na rameno. En: Lenka frowned and put her hand on his shoulder. Sk: "Marek, Jozef hovoril, že nemáme opúšťať skupinu. Je to nebezpečné." En: "Marek, Jozef said we shouldn't leave the group. It's dangerous." Sk: Napriek varovaniam, zvedavosť zvíťazila. En: Despite the warnings, curiosity prevailed. Sk: Lenka sa len trápne usmiala. En: Lenka just awkwardly smiled. Sk: Verila Marekovi, ale jej intuícia hovoria inak. En: She trusted Marek, but her intuition said otherwise. Sk: Skoro sa vybrali k tajomnému lesu. En: Soon, they headed toward the mysterious forest. Sk: Stromy sa nad nimi týčili ako starí strážnici. En: The trees towered over them like old guardians. Sk: Po chvíli nefungovala GPS ani mobily, vôbec netušili, kde sú. En: After a while, the GPS and phones stopped working, and they had no idea where they were. Sk: Náhle začala padať hustá hmla, zahalila okolie, a zastať znamenalo stratiť všetko orientačné body. En: Suddenly, a thick fog began to fall, enveloping the surroundings, and stopping meant losing all points of reference. Sk: Lenka začínala byť nervózna a Marek sa snažil potlačiť pocit viny. En: Lenka started to get nervous, and Marek tried to suppress feelings of guilt. Sk: Avšak práve keď sa chystali vrátiť, pred nimi sa vynorila tajomná stavba. En:...
