Story Transcript:

Da: Rosenborg Slot stod stille og majestætisk i hjertet af København.
En: Rosenborg Slot stood still and majestic in the heart of København.

Da: Efterårsluften fyldte den kongelige have med en duft af våde blade og kølig jord.
En: The autumn air filled the royal garden with a scent of wet leaves and cool earth.

Da: Blade, i farverne orange og guld, gyngede roligt i vinden, mens aftenens skumring sænkede sig over slottet.
En: Leaves, in shades of orange and gold, swayed gently in the wind as the evening's dusk descended over the castle.

Da: Men der var noget mærkeligt ved denne aften.
En: But there was something strange about this evening.

Da: I flere uger havde en mystisk lyd genlydt fra slottets loft, lige præcis ved midnat.
En: For several weeks, a mysterious sound had echoed from the castle's attic precisely at midnight.

Da: Mikkel, en ivrig historieentusiast, havde besluttet sig for at afsløre kilden til denne lyd.
En: Mikkel, an eager history enthusiast, had decided to uncover the source of this sound.

Da: Han drømte om at skrive en artikel til sin historieblog.
En: He dreamed of writing an article for his history blog.

Da: Men der var et problem.
En: But there was a problem.

Da: Atticens dør var altid låst, og mørket indenfor fyldte ham med frygt.
En: The attic door was always locked, and the darkness inside filled him with fear.

Da: Her kom Freja ind i billedet.
En: This is where Freja came into the picture.

Da: Hun var hans bedste ven og en kløgtig problemløser, altid klar til eventyr og gåder.
En: She was his best friend and a clever problem solver, always ready for adventures and puzzles.

Da: De vidste, at de havde brug for Lars' hjælp.
En: They knew they needed Lars' help.

Da: Lars, slottets trofaste pedel, havde en stærk tilknytning til stedet.
En: Lars, the castle's faithful janitor, had a strong attachment to the place.

Da: Han havde været en del af slottets historie hele sit liv, men havde også en hemmelighed.
En: He had been part of the castle's history his entire life but also had a secret.

Da: Noget, der bandt ham til loftet.
En: Something that bound him to the attic.

Da: Mikkel og Freja talte længe med Lars.
En: Mikkel and Freja talked for a long time with Lars.

Da: De lovede at holde hans hemmelighed sikker og foreslog sammen at udforske loftet.
En: They promised to keep his secret safe and proposed exploring the attic together.

Da: Efter mange overvejelser gav Lars efter.
En: After much consideration, Lars relented.

Da: Han vidste, at det var tid til at konfrontere sin fortid.
En: He knew it was time to confront his past.

Da: Halloween nat faldt med en tung stilhed.
En: Halloween night fell with a heavy silence.

Da: Klokken nærmede sig midnat, mens de tre gik gennem de dunkle korridorer, hver skygge en rejse tilbage i tiden.
En: The clock approached midnight as the three walked through the dark corridors, each shadow a journey back in time.

Da: Mikkel holdt Freja tæt, hans hjerte bankede af frygt og spænding.
En: Mikkel held Freja close, his heart pounding with fear and excitement.

Da: Da de endelig nåede loftet, åbnede Lars døren med en gammel nøgle.
En: When they finally reached the attic, Lars opened the door with an old key.

Da: Lyden blev kraftigere.
En: The sound grew stronger.

Da: Det var en sagte melodi.
En: It was a soft melody.

Da: De fulgte lyden til et støvet hjørne af loftet, hvor en gammel grammofon stod.
En: They followed the sound to a dusty corner of the attic where an old gramophone stood.

Da: Pladen der spillede, var en gammel familielydoptagelse.
En: The record playing was an old family audio recording.

Da: Lars så på optageren med tårevædede øjne.
En: Lars looked at the recorder with tear-filled eyes.

Da: Det var hans bedstefars stemme, som fortalte historier om de tiders liv og minder.
En: It was his grandfather's voice, telling stories of the times and memories of his life.

Da: Dette var den hemmelighed, der nu omsider var afsløret.
En: This was the secret that was now finally revealed.

Da: Mikkel og Freja indså, at disse øjeblikke ikke var lavet til offentlighedens øre.
En: Mikkel and Freja realized that these moments were not meant for the public ear.

Da: De måtte forblive hemmelige.
En: They had to remain secret.

Da: Mystikken blev løst, og Lars følte en lethed i sit hjerte.
En: The mystery was solved, and Lars felt a lightness in his heart.

Da: Mikkel var ikke længere bange for mørket; han havde konfronteret sin frygt.
En: Mikkel was no longer afraid of the dark; he had confronted his fear.

Da: De lod grammofonens melodier spille i stilhed, mens de tre forlod loftet.
En: They let the gramophone's melodies play in silence as the three left the attic.

Da: Udenfor var natten rolig, bladene raslede blidt i vinden, og stjernerne blinkede over Rosenborg Slot.
En: Outside, the night was calm, the leaves rustled gently in the wind, and the stars twinkled over Rosenborg Slot.

Da: De forlod stedet med en ny forståelse for historiens hemmeligheder og de ufortalte historier, der nogle gange må forblive gemte.
En: They left the place with a new understanding of history's secrets and the untold stories that sometimes must remain hidden.
