Story Transcript:

Ga: Bhí an maidin fuaimiúil le ceol traidisiúnta na Cásca agus glórtha gáiretha faoin spéir geal.
En: The morning was resonant with the traditional music of Easter and the sounds of laughter under the bright sky.

Ga: Bhí an áit suite sna sléibhte, áit a raibh Láthair Rúnda na Sean-Teampaill.
En: The location was nestled in the mountains, at Láthair Rúnda na Sean-Teampaill.

Ga: Bhí bláthanna earraigh ar fud an gheim seans, ag iompraíonn cumhrachtaí milis.
En: Spring flowers were everywhere in the old meadow, carrying sweet fragrances.

Ga: Bhí Aoife agus Cillian lán le háthas, ag tnúth leis an gceiliúradh mór.
En: Aoife and Cillian were full of joy, looking forward to the grand celebration.

Ga: Ach bhí ar Liam, an ógánach smaointeach, argóint go fóill ina chroí.
En: But Liam, the thoughtful young man, still held an argument within his heart.

Ga: Bhí sé ag iarraidh a bheith páirteach, ach bhí air dubh a chur isteach idir a chreideamh féin agus creideamh a chairde.
En: He wanted to participate, but he had to reconcile his own beliefs with those of his friends.

Ga: "Tá rud éigin ag teastáil uaim," a cheap Liam, agus bhraith sé an gá le haonrú ón ngrúpa.
En: "I need something," Liam thought, and he felt the need to isolate himself from the group.

Ga: Shocraigh sé dul ag taiscéaladh a luaíocht ina aonar.
En: He decided to go exploring on his own reward.

Ga: Shroich sé an teampall, íochtar doras cloiche, clúdaithe le caonach agus é ag coiméad a rúin féin.
En: He arrived at the temple, at a stone door, covered with moss and keeping its own secrets.

Ga: Chuaigh sé isteach go faich caisleán na sean-aimsire.
En: He entered what felt like a fairytale castle of old.

Ga: Bhí sé ciúin taobh istigh, bhí fuaim chiúin aeriúil le cloisteáil aran aer.
En: It was quiet inside, a soft ethereal sound could be heard in the air.

Ga: Ardaíodh a lámha ag Liam le haghaidh paidreacha ciúine sa chomharsanacht shéanach seo.
En: Liam raised his hands in silent prayers in this ancient neighborhood.

Ga: Mhair sé san aire arabhar, agus i gcoinníoll na tost sin, léiríodh chuige go dtí an dorchla gearradh chéile.
En: He lingered in introspection, and in the silence, he was drawn to the intersecting corridor.

Ga: Oscom é shíl Liam gur éist sé ruaim leasaitheach as áit ní b’fhada isteach.
En: Liam imagined he heard a transformative echo from somewhere further within.

Ga: Gasra nó neamh?
En: Was it friend or foe?

Ga: D’fhéach sé ar an gcéad ghiot a thriomaigh air.
En: He looked at the first shadow that caught his eye.

Ga: Ar bhuille comhlíonta éisteacht, d'fhair Liam athuair ar an dorchla sin ina bpas.
En: With a full breath of listening, Liam looked again at that passageway.

Ga: Shíl sé dá suaimhneas féin ar dtús nár mheas a garrthacht i bhfad eile, ach ansin bheannaigh sé do bhfear amháin a bhí ann.
En: At first, he thought to calm himself, yet the serenity was interrupted when he greeted a lone man there.

Ga: Bhí aghaidhe gruaige fada air, dath cloch ar a éide.
En: The man had a long-bearded face, dressed in stone-colored attire.

Ga: Níor labhair sé, ach bhí a shúl síoraí ag caint níos mó ná briathra.
En: He did not speak, yet his eternal eyes spoke more than words ever could.

Ga: Ba é seo íomhá Shóna an Ghrá, i radharc atá laghdaithe in ársaí taobhach an teampaill.
En:...
