I was walking through a thick forest for quite a long time.

Pine branches kept tickling my face and high thick leaves of grass were entangling my feet. 

In spite of that, I was walking faster and faster following the rhythm of my heartbeat which was echoing louder and stronger. I was following the magical light which was attracting me like a magnet. 

Išla sam dugo kroz gustu šumu. 

Grane borova su me lagano češale po licu, a gusta trava mi je sputavala noge. Unatoč  tome ja sam hodala sve brže, u ritmu otkucaja moga srca koje je lupalo sve jače. Slijedila sam čarobnu svjetlost koja me vukla k sebi  kao magnet. 

I didn't notice the moment I left the forest. I found myself on a huge sunlit glade. The beams of the mystical light were melting one into other as if several rainbows were dancing an enchanting dance and becoming one. I was just standing, frozen and  motionless. I couldn't feel my arms and legs. My heart became still. The magical dance of the rainbows turned into a creature. It seemed to have a bit of all the characters of Ivana Brlić-Mažuranić's Tales from Long Ago.  It resembled the most to Malik Tintilinić from Stribor's Forest. It started singing a beautiful, slow song, I couldn't understand. I felt I was in a fairy tale.

Nisam primjetila da sam izašla iz šume. Našla sam se na velikom proplanku koji je bio obasjan svjetlošću čije su se zrake pretapale jedna u drugu kao da se spojilo nekoliko duga koje su plesale svoj čarobni ples. Stajala sam nepomično . Nisam osjećala ni ruke ni noge. Srce kao da mi je prestalo kucati. Čarobni ples duga se lagano pretvorio u neko biće. Kao da je ponešto uzelo od svih likova iz bajki Ivane Brlić-Mažuranić. Najviše je sličilo na Tintilinića iz Šume Striborove. Počelo je pjevati neku lijepu, laganu, meni nerazumljivu pjesmu. Osjećala sam se čarobno.

My fear was transforming into alluring, enjoyable moments adorned by infinite glow of light and tender melody.

Moj strah se pretvarao u prelijepe, ugodne trenutke prelivene beskrajnim sjajem svjetlosti i nježnim tonovima. 

I woke up. There was nothing left but the aura of a night that was keeping me company the following days.

THE END

Probudila sam se. Ničega nije bilo jedino je ostalo ozračje jedne noći koje me pratilo kroz naredne dane.
