Pt: "A amizade vale mais", sorriu.

Pt: Com apenas algumas relíquias leves nos bolsos e uma nova compreensão da força da união, deixaram a câmara.
En: With only a few light relics in their pockets and a new understanding of the strength of unity, they left the chamber.

Pt: Ao saírem, a água já lhes chegava aos tornozelos, mas conseguiram fechar a pesada porta, protegendo o resto do tesouro.
En: As they exited, the water was already reaching their ankles, but they managed to close the heavy door, protecting the rest of the treasure.

Pt: Lá fora, o céu ainda cinzento não apagava as suas caras felizes.
