Story Transcript:
Ga: Agus an fharraige ag béiceadh in ard a chinn is a ghutha in aice na hailleacha, thosaigh gaoith gheimhridh ag crith ar scáth an tsneachta.
En: As the sea shouted at the top of its voice next to the cliffs, a winter wind began to shiver in the shadow of the snow.
Ga: Bhí moill ar an lá agus an oíche ag titim go bog.
En: The day was delayed as the night fell gently.
Ga: Chlé, tá na hAille Móire, ar chlé, is é an t-Atlantic mórthimpeall orthu.
En: To the left, there are the Aille Móire, to the left, with the Atlantic all around them.
Ga: Anseo, tá fíniúnacha agus clocha gréine a bhfuil eagla orthu fiú aire a thabhairt do bheocht an tsaoil.
En: Here, there are vines and sunstones that are even afraid to care for the vibrancy of life.
Ga: Niamh, cailín cróga agus fiosrach, thóg sí a hat láimhe agus í ag siúl ar aghaidh vía an bhealach dorcha chuig a comhairle.
En: Niamh, a brave and curious girl, took her hat in hand as she walked forward via the dark path toward her counsel.
Ga: Bhí Aoife ag fanacht ag an teach, a dteach teolaí suite i dtearmann cnoic.
En: Aoife was waiting at the house, their cozy home nestled in a hill's sanctuary.
Ga: Tá Aoife clúiteach as scéalta mistéireacha a inse, scéalta a thógann daoine chuig an domhan draíochta.
En: Aoife is renowned for telling mysterious tales, stories that transport people to the magical world.
Ga: Ach bhí súil an chailín socraithe ar an bhfianaise nua a tháinig chugainn ó na farraige, solas aisteach i bhfad i gcéin.
En: But the girl's gaze was fixed on the new evidence that came to us from the sea, a strange light far away.
Ga: Tháinig sé i dtaithí le hImbolc, an féile a nascann an tSamhain leis an earrach, tíolactha ag líonta práinne.
En: It coincided with Imbolc, the festival that connects Samhain with spring, delivered with urgent nets.
Ga: “Caithfear teacht ar bunús an tsolais," a dúirt Niamh go dána.
En: “We must find the source of the light," said Niamh boldly.
Ga: "Caithfidh sé a bheith ina rud iontach!”
En: "It has to be something wonderful!”
Ga: Bhí Ciarán, an deartháir níos gránna, amhrasach faoi.
En: Ciarán, the grumpier brother, was skeptical.
Ga: “Ní rud ach gaoth lampa nó bád atá ann!” arsa sé.
En: “It's nothing but a lamp flame or a boat!” he said.
Ga: Bhí sé i gcónaí réalaíoch.
En: He was always realistic.
Ga: D'imigh Niamh go ciúin le hAoife.
En: Niamh quietly left with Aoife.
Ga: "An féidir leat rud ar bith a fhios dom faoin solas, Aoife?" a d'fhiafraigh Niamh.
En: "Can you tell me anything about the light, Aoife?" Niamh asked.
Ga: D'fhéach Aoife sa charnán ollmhór de leabhair a bhí aici i gcónaí agus d'osclaigh sí ceann.
En: Aoife looked through the huge pile of books she always had and opened one.
Ga: “Tá scéalacha ann faoi lampaí draíochta a fheictear in Imbolc,” a d’uimhir sí go mall.
En: “There are stories about magical lamps that appear during Imbolc,” she numbered slowly.
Ga: “Ach tá an fhearg ag méadú ar na laochra nua-aimseartha.
En: “But the anger is increasing towards the modern heroes.
Ga: Tá gach aon chosc fá chlaochlú."
En: Every prohibition is about transformation.”
Ga: Sa deireadh, d'iarr sí ar Ciarán dul in éineacht leo.
En: In the end, she asked Ciarán to accompany them.
Ga: Bhí sé imníoch ar dtús, ach nuair a bhreathnaigh Niamh sa tsúil air l
