Tá na gaotha ag séideadh go fíochmhar faoin spéir thuaidh, agus tá séasúr an fhómhair lánfásta i mBaile Átha Cliath.
The winds are blowing fiercely under the northern sky, and the autumn season is in full swing in Baile Átha Cliath (Dublin).
Lasmuigh, tá an aimsir clic i Kilmainham Gaol ag scéith mar a siocair de doineanta.
Outside, the weather in Kilmainham Gaol is exacerbated by the tempest.
Bíonn sé mar nach bhfuil ann ach uaireanta oíche déanta d’uaigneas agus fuip.
It seems as though there are only night hours made of loneliness and lash.
Tá Cian agus Aisling ag stánadh isteach sa dorchadas mór, ag cuir uaigneas agus is cosúil go bhfuil na scéalta ón am atá thart ag oscailt roimh a súile.
Cian and Aisling are staring into the vast darkness, casting off loneliness, and it appears that stories from the past are unfolding before their eyes.
"Má tá an teachtaireacht ceilte anseo, caithfimid í a aimsiú," a deir Cian, a shúile ag lonrú le díograis.
"If the message is hidden here, we must find it," says Cian, his eyes glowing with fervor.
Tá sé i gceist aige teacht ar rud éigin ní bhfuair duine ar bith roimhe.
He intends to discover something that no one else has before.
"Is gá dúinn a bheith cúramach," a deir Aisling go glic, ag cogain píosa d’eagna abhaile chuisle a tuilte ag eagla.
"We must be careful," says Aisling wisely, chewing on a morsel of wisdom, her heart flooded with fear.
"Má thagann garda, cad a dhéanfaimid?
"If a guard comes, what will we do?"
"Tá an ghaoth ag casadh níos géire, ag baoite ó na fuinneoga iarainn.
The wind is swirling more sharply, baiting from the iron windows.
Gan choinne, cliseann an chumhacht.
Suddenly, the power fails.
Tá dorchadas lán anois, amhail gur píosa é den oíche féin.
Now there's complete darkness, as if it were a piece of the night itself.
"Ná cás, níl muid caillte," a deir Cian go muiníneach.
"Don't worry, we're not lost," says Cian confidently.
Faigheann sé an fón áit áirithe as a phóca agus lasann lampa beag dubh agus dubhghorm.
He retrieves a phone from his pocket and turns on a small black and blue lamp.
"Seo, seo an dóigh é.
"Here, this is the way."
"Leis an solas ag stiúradh an bhealaigh, siúlann siad tríd na cillíní.
With the light guiding the way, they walk through the cells.
Tá bualadh gaoithe níos troime, scairt na staire clois ag bualadh go géar.
The wind's impact is heavier, the shout of history echoing sharply.
D’fhéadfadh siar-sciathán na hailtire a bheith ina nocht go maith i súile éadomhain an tsaoil.
The arch of architecture could be all too evident in the shallow eyes of the world.
I gcillín amháin, aimsíonn siad scoilte in ucht an bhalla.
In one cell, they discover a crack in the wall.
Tá Cian ag sá suas a lámh agus mothaíonn sé an chlúdach iarainn, roimhe seo gan táille ag baint amach os a chionn.
Cian reaches up and feels the iron cover, previously unnoticed above them.
"Seo é," a deir sé le eitilt chroí.
"This is it," he says, heart soaring.
Go tobann, lasann lampaí Kilmainham agus clóis sonsa cosúil le hochtarsach lá láidir.
Suddenly, the lamps of Kilmainham flash on, and the courtyard lights up like a powerful day.
Lasann an halla réidh le solas úr greenscoth.
The hall fills with fresh greenish light.
Tá scáthanna brúite trasna an úrláir mar ludtha dearmadta i ndán mise.
Shadows are cast across the floor like forgotten folds in a poem.
Tá caintóireacht in aice, agus iarrthóirí ag tíocht ag béicigh.
There's chanting nearby, and searchers approaching with shouts.
Tá an litir ag Cian, iontaise ón seansaol a choinníonn aiseolas ar bhallaí fuara.
Cian has the letter, a relic from the old world that keeps a reflection on cold walls.
Ach ar aghaidh dó, tá an garda béasach le meas, agus dea-smaointe atá a thabhairt do stair.
But before him, the guard approaches respectfully, with good intentions for history.
"Ní gá scannadh," a deir an garda, a súile ag leathnú idir an beirt.
"No need for panic," the guard says, eyes widening between the two.
"Ach am is é am, sul má lasann an bhraistint arís.
"But time is limited before the sensation lights again."
"Amach le hiontas, siúlann Cian agus Aisling as.
In surprise, Cian and Aisling walk out.
Go mall téann séadchomharthaí an seanshaol díreach le haghaidh a lán uaireanta amach.
Slowly, the monuments of the past world disperse like a mirage for many hours.
Labhraíonn Cian leis Aisling, guth lom i leabhar staire.
Cian speaks to Aisling in a low voice in a history book.
"Chabhraigh tú liom, a chairde," a deir sé le teann dílseachta.
"You helped me, my friend," he says with deep loyalty.
"Is fuair mise rud nár chomhroinn mé roimh.
"I found something I had never shared before."
"Gan focal tosaigh, tugann Aisling radharc gliogarnach ar chara.
Without a first word, Aisling gives her friend a gleaming look.
"Feicim anois, tógann scéalta níos faide ná teorainneacha," a deir sí, a gcroí sásta, a n-intinn ar aghaidh, céim ar céim i mbua.
"I see now, stories go beyond boundaries," she says, her heart content, her mind moving forward, step by step in triumph.
