Na konci sveta, kde vietor fúkal bez prestania a chlad zaliezal pod kožu, sa Lukáš v duchu snažil byť silným.
At the end of the world, where the wind blew incessantly and the cold seeped under the skin, Lukáš tried in spirit to be strong.
So strachom v srdci pozeral na svoju rodinu - Karolínu, ktorá mu bola najbližšie, a malého Jozefa, ktorý nič z toho chaosu úplne nechápal.
With fear in his heart, he looked at his family - Karolína, who was closest to him, and little Jozef, who didn't quite understand any of the chaos.
Svet okolo nich bol ako z dávneho sna.
The world around them was like an old dream.
Mestá, ktoré kedysi žilo miliónmi ľudí, ostali len prázdne skořápky.
Cities that once bustled with millions of people had become mere empty shells.
Stromy bez listov stáli ako temné strážcovia krajiny, ktorú čas zapomenul.
Trees without leaves stood as dark guardians of a land forgotten by time.
"Musíme nájsť viac jedla," povedal Lukáš, zatiaľ čo jeho pohľad nevrlý po okolitých pustatinách.
"We have to find more food," said Lukáš, while his gaze roamed grimly over the surrounding wastelands.
Noc sa blížila a vzduch bol studený, počasie sa kazilo každým dňom a zima sa valila zo severu.
Night was approaching, and the air was cold; the weather was worsening by the day, with winter rolling in from the north.
Karolína stála pri ňom, jej pohľad jasný a odhodlaný.
Karolína stood by him, her gaze clear and determined.
Vedela, aké je dôležité postarať sa o Jozefa, ich syna, ktorý teraz spokojne kousal kus starého chleba.
She knew how important it was to take care of Jozef, their son, who was now happily chewing a piece of old bread.
Lukášovi vadila myšlenka, že by museli niekoho požiadať o pomoc, alebo, ešte horšie, stretnúť nebezpečných preživších.
The thought of having to ask someone for help, or worse, encountering dangerous survivors, bothered Lukáš.
No, tentokrát nemali na výber.
But this time, they had no choice.
Bolo potrebné nájsť zásoby.
Supplies needed to be found.
Privítal neznámého muža, na ktorého narazili, naopak, pestoval ku nemu hlbokú opatrnosť.
He welcomed the stranger they happened to meet with deep caution.
Muž im povedal o ukrytej skladišti, ktorú objavil v opustenom nákupnom centre, ale jeho úmysly zostali otázne.
The man told them about a hidden storage he had found in an abandoned shopping center, but his intentions remained questionable.
"Musíme skúsiť dôverovať," povedala Karolína, keď prechádzali tmavými ulicami, kde sa dlhé tiene obťažovali mihnutím jediného svetla.
"We have to try to trust," Karolína said as they walked through dark streets, where long shadows were interrupted only by the flicker of a single light.
Lukáš mal v hlave rezervy, ale láska k rodine ho poháňala ďalej.
Lukáš had his reservations, but his love for his family drove him onward.
Keď dorazili do centra, našli ho opusteným, tichým ako hrob.
When they arrived at the center, they found it abandoned, quiet as a grave.
Avšak tíšenie bolo klamlivé.
But the silence was deceptive.
Ostatní preživší tiež hľadali rovnaký poklad.
Other survivors were also seeking the same treasure.
Ich oči boli divoké, hnané potrebou prežitia.
Their eyes were wild, driven by the need to survive.
Lukáš sa postavil odvážne, jeho zmysly boli bdelé, keďže sa schyľovalo k napätej konfrontácii.
Lukáš stood bravely, his senses alert as a tense confrontation loomed.
Využil svoju znalosť terénu k tomu, aby odviedol pozornosť, čím získal čas pre Karolínu a Jozefa.
He used his knowledge of the terrain to divert attention, buying time for Karolína and Jozef.
Vďaka svojej šikovnosti a intuíciji sa mu podarilo získať potraviny, ktoré by im stačili až do konca zimy.
Thanks to his cleverness and intuition, he managed to secure enough food to last them until the end of winter.
Vrátil sa k rodine s úspechom v očiach.
He returned to his family with success in his eyes.
Karolína sa usmiala a chytila jeho ruku, cítila, že majú ešte nádej v tomto svet zmietaném katastrofou.
Karolína smiled and took his hand, feeling they still had hope in this world plagued by catastrophe.
Lukáš si uvedomil, že napriek skľúčeným podmienkam je možnosť prežiť a nájsť pokoj.
Lukáš realized that despite the bleak conditions, there was a chance to survive and find peace.
Naučil sa dôverovať svojim inštinktom a našiel utešujúce teplo rodinného blaha.
He learned to trust his instincts and found comforting warmth in family bliss.
Cestou domov ku ich skromnému prístrešku vedeni novo získanou energiou, vedel, že budú mať budúcnosť - nech už bude akákoľvek.
On the way home to their humble shelter, led by newfound energy, he knew they would have a future—whatever it might be.
Takto končí príbeh o odhodlaní, láske a výtrvalosti, v ktorom každý krok napred bol malý triumf v boji proti beznádeji nového sveta.
Thus ends the story of determination, love, and perseverance, where each step forward was a small triumph in the battle against the despair of a new world.
