En: In the spring outskirts of Tartu, among ancient ruins, something peculiar began. Et: Noored olid rääkinud thisedest valgusest, mis kumasid öösiti varemete ümbruses. En: The youth spoke of shimmering lights that glowed at night around the ruins. Et: Kert, Tartu Ülikooli arheoloogiatudeng, ei uskunud neid jutte. En: Kert, an archaeology student at Tartu University, didn't believe these tales. Et: Ta teadis, et igal nähtusel oli loogiline seletus. En: He knew that every phenomenon had a logical explanation. Et: Kuid uudishimu sundis teda asja uurima. En: Yet, curiosity compelled him to investigate. Et: Teised tudengid väitsid, et valgused olid üleloomulikud. En: Other students claimed the lights were supernatural. Et: Nad viitasid vanadele lugudele, kuid Kert naeris neid. En: They referenced old stories, but Kert laughed at them. Et: \"Müüdid jäägu muinasjuttudeks,\" ütles ta kindlalt. En: \"Myths should remain fairy tales,\" he said firmly. Et: Sellegipoolest jäid need jutud teda kummitama. En: Nevertheless, these tales continued to haunt him. Et: Ühel õhtul otsustas Kert koos sõprade Kadri ja Markusega minna varemetesse. En: One evening, Kert decided to go to the ruins with his friends Kadri and Markus. Et: \"Pean selle saladuse lahendama,\" arvas Kert. En: \"I must solve this mystery,\" Kert thought. Et: Varemed olid kaetud viinapuudega, puude all tuksub vaikne müstiline õhkkond. En: The ruins were covered with vines, and beneath the trees pulsed a quiet, mystical atmosphere.
