Story Transcript:

Ca: La llum del matí penetrava entre les altes branques del bosc pirinenc, creant jocs de llum que ballaven entre els troncs antics.
En: The morning light penetrated between the tall branches of the Pirineus forest, creating plays of light that danced among the ancient trunks.

Ca: L’aire estava fresc i ple de l'aroma de pi que s'aixecava del terra recobert de fulles caigudes.
En: The air was fresh and full of the aroma of pine that rose from the ground covered with fallen leaves.

Ca: En el cor d'aquest lloc, caminava Oriol, un noi jove amb l'ànima pesada.
En: In the heart of this place, walked Oriol, a young boy with a heavy soul.

Ca: Durant setmanes, els seus somnis havien estat plens d'imatges d'un ésser ombrívol que xiuxiuejava secrets que Oriol no podia entendre.
En: For weeks, his dreams had been full of images of a shadowy being whispering secrets that Oriol couldn't understand.

Ca: Al fons de la seva ment, sabia que aquests somnis estaven arrelats a la història de la seva família.
En: Deep in his mind, he knew these dreams were rooted in his family's history.

Ca: Avui, durant el diumenge de Pasqua, havia decidit enfrontar-se als seus temors i descobrir la veritat.
En: Today, on Easter Sunday, he had decided to face his fears and discover the truth.

Ca: El camí era estret, envoltat per arbres que semblaven observadors antics d'un passat oblidat.
En: The path was narrow, surrounded by trees that seemed like ancient observers of a forgotten past.

Ca: El vent xiulava suaument entre les fulles, fent que Oriol sentís una esgarrifança per la columna.
En: The wind softly whistled through the leaves, causing Oriol to feel a shiver down his spine.

Ca: Però no es permeté de tenir por.
En: But he did not allow himself to be afraid.

Ca: Si havia de trobar pau, necessitava respostes.
En: If he was to find peace, he needed answers.

Ca: Al bosc, el temps semblava aturar-se.
En: In the forest, time seemed to stand still.

Ca: Oriol caminava més i més endins, fins que arribà a un aclariment antic.
En: Oriol walked deeper and deeper until he reached an ancient clearing.

Ca: Aquesta clariana era com un santuari ocult, il·luminat per la llum que s'escorria entre les branques.
En: This glade was like a hidden sanctuary, illuminated by the light filtering through the branches.

Ca: Allà, al centre, hi havia la figura espectral que havia vist en els seus somnis.
En: There, at the center, was the spectral figure he had seen in his dreams.

Ca: Oriol es quedà quiet, amb el cor bategant a mil pulsacions.
En: Oriol stood still, with his heart racing at a thousand beats.

Ca: Sentia el pes del moment a cada respiració.
En: He felt the weight of the moment with every breath.

Ca: La figura li parlava sense paraules, transmetent records i respostes que ell mai havia conegut.
En: The figure spoke to him without words, conveying memories and answers he had never known.

Ca: En aquell instant, tot el que sempre havia sospitat arribà com un allau de revelacions.
En: In that instant, everything he had always suspected came like an avalanche of revelations.

Ca: La seva família havia guardat secrets durant generacions, però ara les peces encaixaven.
En: His family had guarded secrets for generations, but now the pieces fit together.

Ca: Amb llàgrimes als ulls, Oriol va entendre que el passat estava aquí per ensenyar-lo, no per definir-lo.
En: With tears in his eyes, Oriol understood that the past was here to teach him, not to define him.

Ca: La por que havia sentit es transformà en claror i acceptació.
En: The fear he had felt transformed into clarity and acceptance.

Ca: Sabia qui era i d'on venia.
En: He knew who he was and where he came from.

Ca: Quan decidí emprendre el camí de tornada, ho féu amb una nova serenitat.
En: When he decided to embark on the journey back, he did so with a new serenity.

Ca: Les fulles sota els seus peus semblaven un mosaïc del seu nou començament.

Ca: Aquell bosc dels Pirineus havia deixat de ser un lloc de misteri per convertir-se en un espai de pau i reconciliació.
En: That Pirineus forest had ceased to be a place of mystery and had become a space of peace and reconciliation.

Ca: En sortir del bosc, Oriol mirà enrere una última vegada.

Ca: El vent li acaricià la cara com una carícia d'un vellet.
