Story Transcript:

Ga: Ag amharc amach ar na haillte mór at Ard na Mhoiríne, bhí Dara ann, ag caint leis na turasóirí faoi na finscéalta is fearr leis.
En: Looking out over the great cliffs at Ard na Mhoiríne, Dara was there, talking to the tourists about his favorite legends.

Ga: Bhí an ghrian ag dul faoi agus bhí dath óir isteach sa spéir.
En: The sun was setting, casting a golden hue into the sky.

Ga: Ach bhí a súile dírithe ar an aigéan, áit a raibh solas iontais ag taitneamh.
En: But his eyes were fixed on the ocean, where a mysterious light was shining.

Ga: Ní raibh Dara i ndán a thuiscint cad é an solas sin.
En: Dara couldn't comprehend what that light was.

Ga: Láithreach, tháinig a chol ceathrair, Siobhán, chuige.
En: Suddenly, his cousin, Siobhán, came to him.

Ga: "Céard a bhíonn tú ag caint faoin solas sin?
En: "What are you talking about with that light?

Ga: Níl ann ach báid iascaireachta, b'fhéidir," arsa Siobhán, lena glór lán céille.
En: It's probably just fishing boats," said Siobhán, with her sensible voice.

Ga: Bhí Cian, an t-iascaire áitiúil, ag seasamh in aice leo.
En: Cian, the local fisherman, was standing near them.

Ga: Bhí aoibhínn chliste air.
En: He wore a clever smile.

Ga: "Ní bhíonn a fhios ag éinne céard atá sa loinnir sin," a dúirt sé go scáfar.
En: "No one knows what that glimmer is," he said cautiously.

Ga: "Ach cloistear scéalta.
En: "But stories are told."

Ga: ""An gcreideann tú sna scéalta sin, a Chian?
En: "Do you believe in those stories, Cian?"

Ga: " a d'fhiafraigh Dara.
En: Dara asked.

Ga: Bhí a fhios ag an dá fhiosraí nár chóir aon rud a ghlacadh faoi dheara ó aincheist Cian.
En: The two knew well not to take anything lightly from Cian's conundrum.

Ga: "Tá rudaí ann nach féidir a mhíniú," arsa Cian, a aghaidh i leith na spéire.
En: "There are things that can't be explained," said Cian, his face turned towards the sky.

Ga: Bhí si ródheacair ag Dara cur suas leis an amhras i guth Siobháin.
En: It was too difficult for Dara to endure Siobhán's skeptical tone.

Ga: Bhí gá éigin aige an fhírinne a fháil amach.
En: A need drove him to find out the truth.

Ga: "Beimid ag teacht anocht," dúirt Dara, a shúile lán de dhóchas agus paisean.
En: "We'll be coming tonight," said Dara, his eyes full of hope and passion.

Ga: Bhí a fhios aige go ndearna Siobhán gáire le neamh-ardú guth, ach ní raibh aon chosc a chuir uirthi dul leis.
En: He knew Siobhán laughed quietly, but nothing prevented her from going with him.

Ga: Oíche dhorcha, gan ghealach, tháinig an triúr acu ar ais go dtí na haillte.
En: On a dark, moonless night, the three of them returned to the cliffs.

Ga: Bhí Cian ann, ag gearán faoi na taoide, ar nós beithíoch díblíne.
En: Cian was there, complaining about the tide, like a restless beast.

Ga: Bhí an solas fós ag lonrú, ag damhsa leis na tonnta.
En: The light was still shining, dancing with the waves.

Ga: Siobhan agus Dara ag coinne le chéile, cé go raibh imní and tuirse uirthi – rud a bhí inmholta dá dheartháir.
En: Siobhán and Dara held on to each other, even though she was anxious and tired—something commendable for her brother.

Ga: D'éirigh go gasta le croí Dara agus iad ag druidimid i dtreo an tsolais.
En: Dara's heart raced quickly as they approached the...
