Story Transcript:

Ga: Na scamaill liath thosaigh orthu ag dul timpeall, ag bogadh i dtreo na gcanáilte ins an spéir.
En: The gray clouds began to gather, moving toward the channels in the sky.

Ga: Bhí an t-atmaisféar lán le rúndiamhair ag aillte Árda Mhothar.
En: The atmosphere was full of mystery at the cliffs of Árda Mhothar.

Ga: Bhí na bláthanna fiáine ag oscailt go hálainn faoin earrach, ag tairiscint radharc álainn dá lucht féachana.
En: The wildflowers were blooming beautifully in the spring, offering a lovely view to onlookers.

Ga: Chinn Aisling agus Cillian lá amháin dul ar eachtra.
En: One day, Aisling and Cillian decided to go on an adventure.

Ga: Bhí Aisling lán de spraoi agus fuinneamh.
En: Aisling was full of fun and energy.

Ga: Bhí a fhios aici nach raibh Cillian chomh diongbháilte ina chroí le cadairse, ach lean sé í, mar a bhí sé ina óinseach.
En: She knew that Cillian wasn't as determined in his heart with adventures, but he followed her, like a fool.

Ga: "Ná bíodh imní ort, Cillian", a dúirt Aisling, ag féachaint siar go ceanúil chuige.
En: "Don't worry, Cillian," said Aisling, looking back fondly at him.

Ga: "Tá an saol lán le hiontais le fáil.
En: "Life is full of wonders to discover."

Ga: "Ach bhí Cillian níos réalaíche.
En: But Cillian was more realistic.

Ga: Cé raibh sé ag mothú míchompordach, níor theastaigh uaidh í a ligean uaidh ina haonar.
En: Even though he felt uncomfortable, he didn't want to let her go alone.

Ga: Agus mar sin lean sé.
En: And so he followed.

Ga: Agus iad ag an aire, fuair siad bosca beag sean ann.
En: As they were exploring, they found a small, old box there.

Ga: Bhí sé briste agus clúdaithe i gcré, ag nochtadh ábhar geal faoi.
En: It was broken and covered in clay, revealing a bright substance underneath.

Ga: Thóg Aisling an t-árthach.
En: Aisling picked up the vessel.

Ga: "Ó mo Dhia, tá sé seo dochreidte!
En: "Oh my God, this is amazing!"

Ga: ", a dúirt sí, súile ag lonradh le fiosracht.
En: she said, her eyes glowing with curiosity.

Ga: Ach bhí drochmheas ag Cillian ar an rud.
En: But Cillian had a bad feeling about it.

Ga: "B’fhéidir gur chóir dúinn é a fhágáil ann, Aisling.
En: "Maybe we should leave it there, Aisling.

Ga: Níl a fhios againn cad a d'fhéadfadh sé a dhéanamh.
En: We don't know what it might do."

Ga: "Tháinig fonn ar Aisling an rún a réiteach, áfach, cé go raibh an aimsir ag dul in olcas.
En: However, Aisling was eager to solve the mystery, even as the weather worsened.

Ga: Bhí an ghaoth ag teacht go láidir, agus laghdaigh sé leochaileacht an dá chara.
En: The wind was blowing strongly, reducing the vulnerability of the two friends.

Ga: "Tá sé tábhachtach fáil amach céard atá i gceist leis," arsa Aisling.
En: "It's important to find out what it means," said Aisling.

Ga: De réir mar a mhéadaigh an gaoth, léirigh an t-árthach beagán cumhachta.
En: As the wind increased, the vessel showed a hint of power.

Ga: Mhothaigh Cillian é, crith beag ag dul tríd a chorp.
En: Cillian felt it, a slight shiver running through his body.

Ga: "Aisling, ní obair fhiúntach í seo.
En: "Aisling, this is not a worthwhile endeavor."

Ga: "Bhí an chonspóid ag fás eatarthu, mar a bhí na scamaill at éirí níos dorcha.
En: The argument grew between them, as the clouds became darker.

Ga: Ansin go tobann, thóg stoirm throm ar an láthair.
En: Then suddenly, a heavy storm arose.

Ga: Bhí an gála fuar agus eadóóchair.
En: The gale was cold and relentless.

Ga: Rith Aisling agus Cillian leis an stoirm, a fhios acu go raibh gá le tearmann acu.
En: Aisling and Cillian ran with the storm, knowing they needed shelter.

Ga: Bhain siad bothán ar an aill amach in am.
En: They reached a hut on the cliff in time.

Ga: Leag Aisling an t-árthach síos.
En: Aisling set the vessel down.

Ga: "Tá rud éigin mícheart", a admhaigh sí, ag ciceáil an truime ón imní.
En: "Something's wrong," she admitted, shaking off the weight of worry.

Ga: Cé go raibh an chathaoir beag ar shábháilteacht a dteach beag acu, thuig siad nach mbaineann gach rud leis an réiteach nó leis an bhfreagra.
En: Even though the small chair offered the safety of their little house, they realized not everything is about solving or answering.

Ga: D’fhéach Aisling agus Cillian ar a chéile i dtuiscint úr a bhí gan ghá leis na míorúiltí agus scéalta casta na ndaoine a dtéann na haillte i gcion orthu.
En: Aisling and Cillian looked at each other with a fresh understanding that was unnecessary for the miracles and complex stories of the people impacted by the cliffs.

Ga: Nuair a shocraigh an stoirm, chinn Aisling an t-árthach a fhágáil ar ais san áit a tharla sé roimhe.
En: When the storm settled, Aisling decided to leave the vessel back where it was found.

Ga: "Bíonn taithí ag gach rud ar chúis," a dúirt sí go meáite.
En: "Everything happens for a reason," she said resolutely.

Ga: Agus le mothú fíorúil domhain nua eatarthu, shiúil siad ar ais an cosán dall suas go dtí an tsráidbhaile, ag fáil barrúcháin sa domhan simplí lena rúndiamhrachta féin intuartha.
En: And with a true sense of a new depth between them, they walked back up the hidden path to the village, finding refuge in the simple world with its own predictable mysteries.
