Thóg sé croí Cillian chun imeachtaí a thógáil ar shiúl agus a chur os comhair an bhaile thuaidh a bhí timpeall a leithéid d’áit.En: There was a spanner resting in the corner, and Cillian drew strength to take matters away and present them to the northern town surrounding such a place.Ga: Ní raibh sé fada go bhfuair sé glór, adhmad maith caochta.En: It wasn’t long before he found a voice, a well-battered piece of timber.Ga: Agus é soghonta agus ag éirí níos muiníne ar a dhlúthchara, chuaigh sé trí mhaolú.En: Vulnerable yet growing more confident in his close friend, he went through a softening.Ga: "Tá sé seo an-ait," a dúirt sé, lámha ag rith síos bealach gealltanais.En: "This is very strange," he said, his hands running down the path of promises.Ga: "Ná bíodh eagla ort," a chuir Siobhán in iúl, a lámh ar a ghualainn.En: "Don't be afraid," Siobhán reassured, placing her hand on his shoulder.Ga: Bhí gann-fhaire a fhan sé an nóiméad sin leis féin a ithe go dall.En: There was a brief watchfulness he held for that moment, consuming himself blindly.Ga: Anois, bhí rún aige a fháil.En: Now, he was determined to uncover the secret.Ga: Agus sin mar a thángthas ar an seod—seomra beag cúirtéiseach.En: And that's how they came upon the treasure—an unobtrusive little room.Ga: Sreang a bhreith air, osclaíodh cás iarainn.En: Grasping a wire, an iron case was opened.Ga: Níl i gcás ach maisiúchán dhiaga.En: The case was nothing but divine ornamentation.Ga: Istigh ann, bhí litreacha, níomh na gcinseal soineanta, agus iris.En: Inside, there were letters, the essence of innocent agreements, and a journal.Ga: Bhí Cillian thoir ann, a chuid súl tógtha ag an álainn a bhí scaipthe ann, seod nach bhféadfadh na focail a fhuascailt.En: Cillian was absorbed in it, his eyes captivated by the beauty scattered there, a treasure words could not unravel.Ga: Agus anois, nuair a d’oscail sé an iris mar shean amhrán a bhí níos mó ná léirshamhlú amháin, bhí an clog á cnagadh níos mó—aonad atá tar éis guth na hoíche a bhaint amach.En: And now, when he opened the journal like an old song that was more than a mere projection, the clock was tolling more loudly—a unit that had reached the voice of night.Ga: Bhí sé mar chonsól, saor ó bhrón.En: It was like a console, free from sorrow.Ga: Bhí sé níos ceangailte lena shliocht ná mar a bhí sé riamh roimhe seo.En: He was more connected to his ancestry than ever before.Ga: "Táimid," a chiallaigh Cillian, ag breathnú ar a gcairde le fabhar nua óna shloinne agus a staid fola.En: "We are," declared Cillian, looking at his friends with a new favor from his lineage and his blood status.Ga: Agus mar sin, le cuimhní ó roinnt glúnta, d'fhág siad an áit ina n-bhraitheann sí tarraingt ar a n-aidhm.En: And so, with memories from several generations, they left the place feeling drawn to their purpose.
