En: The wind was cold, and the snow lay heavily over the ruined buildings.

No: Det var vanskelig å tro at det en gang hadde vært en travelt by her.
En: It was hard to believe that this had once been a bustling city.

No: Eirik, med hender stukket dypt i jakkelommene, trakk sammen skuldrene for å holde varmen ute og så seg rundt.
En: Eirik, with his hands shoved deep into his jacket pockets, shrugged his shoulders to keep the cold out and looked around.

No: Han var ikke alene.
En: He wasn't alone.

En: "Are you sure it's worth it?"

En: asked Lars with a hint of doubt.

No: "Vi må prøve alt vi kan," svarte Eirik bestemt.
En: "We have to try everything we can," replied Eirik firmly.

En: She knew of a secret hideout but was wary of strangers.

En: Eirik and Lars found her in a ruined store under a frozen bridge, where the ice hung like dirty curtains from the ceiling.

No: Kari så opp fra sitt lille bål da de nærmet seg.
En: Kari looked up from her small fire as they approached.

No: Øynene hennes gnistret i det svake lyset.
En: Her eyes sparkled in the dim light.

No: "Hva vil dere?
En: "What do you want?"

No: " spurte hun kort.
En: she asked curtly.

No: Eirik tok et skritt frem og strakk frem boksen med sild.

No: "Jeg skal gi dere informasjonen, men først må Eirik bestå en test.
En: "I'll give you the information,...
