vanad pärimuslood ei pea alati tõele vastama.En: Her belief was confirmed — old legends do not always have to be true.Et: Karoliina seisis vanades hoovikivides.En: Karoliina stood among the old courtyard stones.Et: Ta oli kindlam, et tema jälitamisevõimed ja julgus peremüüte ületada oli tugevam kui iial varem.En: She was more certain that her pursuit abilities and her courage to transcend family myths were stronger than ever before.Et: Ja öine lumesadu kattis kõik uue rahuga.En: And the nighttime snowfall covered everything with a new peace.
