Story Transcript:

Ga: Bhí lá fuar gheimhridh ann, an ghrian ag éirí go mall os cionn na bhflaitheas.
En: It was a cold winter’s day, the sun rising slowly above the sky.

Ga: Bhí Sorcha, Cillian, agus Niamh ag siúl suas cnoc Tíre an Teamhra.
En: Sorcha, Cillian, and Niamh were walking up the hill of Tíre an Teamhra.

Ga: Ba í an lá seo Lá Naomh Nioclás, agus bhí solas ar leith ag dul i gcoinne na gcarraigeacha ársa.
En: This day was Lá Naomh Nioclás, and there was a special light reflecting against the ancient rocks.

Ga: Bhí an-chuid súil ag Sorcha le bheith níos gaire dá fréamhacha Éireannacha.
En: Sorcha was very eager to get closer to her Irish roots.

Ga: Bhí an seans uathúil ag teacht chuici ag searmanas an gheimhridh.
En: A unique opportunity was coming her way at the winter ceremony.

Ga: Níor mhothaigh sí ceangailte ar an mbealach seo riamh cheana.
En: She had never felt this connected in this way before.

Ga: Leaba báite bhí sí leis an scéal féin, ag iarraidh an stair a mhothú faoinár gcosa.
En: She was immersed in the story itself, trying to feel the history beneath their feet.

Ga: "Déan deifir, a Chillian," arsa Sorcha, láidreacht ina guth cé go raibh oighear ar an talamh faoi bhun a cosa.
En: "Hurry up, Cillian," said Sorcha, strength in her voice despite the ice beneath her feet.

Ga: "Níl muid ach cúpla nóiméad as an suaimhneas seo.
En: "We’re only a few minutes away from this tranquility."

Ga: "Gáireog shocair imeartha ar ghnúis Chillain.
En: A calm smile played on Cillian's face.

Ga: "Tá go maith, a chara," ar sé go réchúiseach.
En: "All right, my friend," he said calmly.

Ga: Bhí clóscríobh go maith aige go deo le Sorcha, b'fhéidir gurb é sin an fáth nach mbeadh sí ag cailleadh muiníne as a gcairdeas láidir.
En: He had always got along well with Sorcha, maybe that was why she never lost faith in their strong friendship.

Ga: Ach go tobann, tháinig faí Áine ar a scéin.
En: But suddenly, Áine appeared in their midst.

Ga: Bhí cloch ina bolg agus ag fáisceadh a guaillí.
En: She had a stone in her stomach and was clutching her shoulders.

Ga: "A dhaoine," ar sí le fonn imní, "Caithimid stopadh.
En: "Everyone," she said anxiously, "We need to stop."

Ga: "Bhí súil chrua ar aoibh gháire Chillain.
En: A hard look was on Cillian's smiling face.

Ga: "Cad é atá cearr?
En: "What’s wrong?

Ga: Tá gach rud in ord sa bhád, nach bhfuil?
En: Everything is in order, isn’t it?"

Ga: "Bhí Niamh faoi scáth go gasta.
En: Niamh quickly stepped into the shadow.

Ga: "Drochimfhollasóid.
En: "A bad omen.

Ga: Is dócha gur planda nó rud éigin é," a mhínigh sí, ag taispeáint an bhéal a bhí ag teacht ar a aghaidh dearg.
En: Maybe it's a plant or something," she explained, showing the grimace coming over her red face.

Ga: Tháinig imní ar chroí Sorcha.
En: Concern grew in Sorcha’'s heart.

Ga: Bhí sí ag iarraidh an turas a chur i gcrích, ach ní bheadh sé ceart Niamh a fhágáil mar sin.
En: She wanted to complete the journey, but it wouldn't be right to leave Niamh like that.

Ga: Cinematán ina croí, rinne sí cinneadh corraitheach.
En: With resolve in her heart, she made a decisive decision.

Ga: "Fanann muid anseo le Niamh.
En: "We’ll stay here with Niamh.

Ga: Caithfidh sí cúram ceart a fháil.
En: Sh
