En: Kaja laughed.
No: "Kom igjen, Lars! Vi finner ikke noe hvis vi ikke leter."
En: "Come on, Lars! We won't find anything if we don't search."
No: Hun lyste med lykten sin på veggene, hvor gamle runer og tegninger kunne anes under snøen.

No: Kaja og Lars sto der stille, slått av øyeblikket.
En: Kaja and Lars stood there quietly, struck by the moment.
No: "Jeg kan ikke tro det," hvisket Lars.

En: They were trapped.
No: Luften i kammeret ble kald og barsk.
En: The air in the chamber became cold and harsh.
No: Kaja så på Lars.
En: Kaja looked at Lars.
No: "Vi må jobbe sammen hvis vi skal komme oss ut herfra," sa hun.
En: "We have to work together if we're going to get out of here," she said.

En: It was as if the moment leaned them toward each other.
No: De skjønte at å sikre fortidens skatter også betød å respektere dem.

No: Lars innså at noen rikdommer er ment å deles med verden, ikke beholdes for seg selv.
En: Lars realized that some riches are meant to be shared with the world, not kept for oneself.
No: Snøen lå fortsatt tungt, men det var en varm følelse av mening da de gikk hjemover, nå, i stedet for eventyrere på jakt etter rikdom, var de voktere av en fortid som alltid burde bli fortalt.
En: The snow still lay heavy, but there was a warm sense of purpose as they walked homeward, now, instead of adventurers seeking wealth, they were guardians of a past that should always be told.
