1. I have lived through many ages...Copy !req
2. through the eyes of salmon,Copy !req
3. deer,Copy !req
4. and wolf.Copy !req
5. I have seen the North Men invading Ireland
destroying homes, in search of gold.Copy !req
6. I have seen suffering
in the darkness,Copy !req
7. yet... I have seen beauty
thrive in the most fragile of places.Copy !req
8. I have seen the book... the book
that turned darkness... into light.Copy !req
9. Brendan?
Don't let her get away!Copy !req
10. Come on!
Nice goosy, goosy, goosy...Copy !req
11. Stand back,
I will get her!Copy !req
12. - Which way?
- Baah...Copy !req
13. Brendan!
That scaffolding is not steady!Copy !req
14. Don't worry, Brother Assoua,
I'll be careful.Copy !req
15. Sorry.Copy !req
16. Brendan!Copy !req
17. Coming!Copy !req
18. - Brendan.
- Brendan!Copy !req
19. Are you hurt?Copy !req
20. Keep it quiet, Brendan!
Or the Abbot will hear.Copy !req
21. I'm sorry, but we have to do this.
It will all be over in a minute.Copy !req
22. Now, that wasn't so hard,
was it?Copy !req
23. Lucky bird.Copy !req
24. Your feathers
will become the tools...Copy !req
25. from which we create
immortal pages of sacred text.Copy !req
26. Abbot! I explain for you...Copy !req
27. We tried to catch goose...
and she run very fast.Copy !req
28. And I fall in the mud...Copy !req
29. Forgive us, Abbot.Copy !req
30. Brendan! Where are those plans
I asked for?Copy !req
31. The plans...
I left them in the scriptorium.Copy !req
32. - Bring them to the tower.
- Yes uncle.Copy !req
33. Tomorrow, you will go back to work
on the wall, dawn till evening bell...Copy !req
34. and brother Leonardo...Copy !req
35. clean yourself up
for pity's sake.Copy !req
36. I do not know why
there are at it this intense...Copy !req
37. when all that man wants us to do
is to build his crazy wall.Copy !req
38. Yes, that's all the man cares about,
nothing else,Copy !req
39. and you continue
to defend him, Brendan!Copy !req
40. Uncle just wants to protect us
from outside.Copy !req
41. When the North Men come to Kells,Copy !req
42. they'll make no distinction
between young and old. So...Copy !req
43. "Prepare or meet your doom!"Copy !req
44. You just don't understand...Copy !req
45. But Brendan, you've never been
outside these walls.Copy !req
46. I don't have to go outside
to know how dangerous it is.Copy !req
47. - Where have you all been?
- We went to get these, for you.Copy !req
48. You should have seen brother Sergey,Copy !req
49. he took a flying dive,
like a beautiful swan.Copy !req
50. It is not funny.Copy !req
51. The Abbot has seen us, he is not happy
because we are not working on the wall.Copy !req
52. Now enough of that! What about
the books? Does he not find them?Copy !req
53. If there were no books, all knowledge
would be lost... for ethernity.Copy !req
54. We cannot only build walls.Copy !req
55. The people must have books,
so that they may have hope.Copy !req
56. If we had a true master illuminator
would would do so much splendid work!Copy !req
57. Let us pray that one
will be delivered to us one day.Copy !req
58. - Let us Pray!
- Let us Pray!Copy !req
59. Surely you don't need a master,
your work is the finest I've seen...Copy !req
60. Thanks Brendan,
but we are mere scriblers...Copy !req
61. - next to True Masters.
- True Masters? Such as...?Copy !req
62. Such as...
Brother Aidan of Iona.Copy !req
63. He is indeed the great one.Copy !req
64. Who is the brother Aidan?Copy !req
65. A sage.Copy !req
66. The wisest one of them all.Copy !req
67. The perfect Illuminator.Copy !req
68. Well where is he then?Copy !req
69. He lives on a tiny island
called lona.Copy !req
70. There is an abbey on the island,Copy !req
71. where he works on a magnificent book:
The Book of Iona.Copy !req
72. The book was begun 200 years ago,Copy !req
73. under the orders of none other
than Saint Columb Kil himself.Copy !req
74. The Book of Iona
outshines all others...Copy !req
75. because of the miracle
of Columb Kil's third eye...Copy !req
76. No, not because of his third eye, because
of his 3 hands with 12 fingers on each.Copy !req
77. That's not true! He had a third eye,
not a third hand!Copy !req
78. Have you not heard of the eye
of Columb Kil?Copy !req
79. Of course! But that was for
making the prophecies...Copy !req
80. His third hand was
for beginning the book.Copy !req
81. Enough! Just tell us about
Brother Aidan.Copy !req
82. His writings are said to glow
from the pages, as though they are light.Copy !req
83. Sinners have been blinded
while glancing upon the pages.Copy !req
84. For to gaze upon the book,
is to gaze upon the heavens itself!Copy !req
85. The Book of Iona.Copy !req
86. But where is Iona?Copy !req
87. It is far far away in the sea.
Like all islands should be.Copy !req
88. A beautiful place...Copy !req
89. where the illuminators
do not have to build walls.Copy !req
90. But the Abbot says
that islands are too easy to attack.Copy !req
91. Brendan! Are you still here?Copy !req
92. You'd better bring the Abbot those plans,
or you'll be in big trouble!Copy !req
93. Uncle!Copy !req
94. Hurry boy!Copy !req
95. Here they are, uncle.Copy !req
96. Brendan! How am I to trust you
with responsiblity...Copy !req
97. when you continue
to disappoint me?Copy !req
98. One day you will take control
of this Abbey.Copy !req
99. Yet, it takes you several hours
to fulfill a simple task.Copy !req
100. I'm sorry.Copy !req
101. The monks were talking about Iona.
I dreamt it was destroyed.Copy !req
102. It was so real, uncle!Copy !req
103. It is real, Brendan.Copy !req
104. One day, that horror
will come to us.Copy !req
105. That is exactly
why we must prepare ourselves.Copy !req
106. This section of the wall is supported
by 3 pillars: here, here and here.Copy !req
107. Uncle,
someone has arrived!Copy !req
108. He has a white cat!Copy !req
109. Another victim
of the North Men no doubt.Copy !req
110. Now, let's see.Copy !req
111. Oh, no, no... not that far. But we've legs
walked ourselves all the way.Copy !req
112. But please, from where?
A very long way?Copy !req
113. Oh yes, it was long enough alright.Copy !req
114. but when you just want to keep up with,
the road just takes half the time.Copy !req
115. Isn't that right, Pangur Ban?Copy !req
116. - We really can't stay very long.
- Welcome to Kells, Brother.Copy !req
117. - Abbot Cellach!
- Peace be with you!Copy !req
118. Brothers, welcome to Kells one of
the great illuminators of our times.Copy !req
119. Must be a mistake.Copy !req
120. Brother Aidan of lona.Copy !req
121. One question at a time.Copy !req
122. As Columb Kil used to say:Copy !req
123. "Questions do not burn your tongue,
if you wait to ask them".Copy !req
124. Welcome to Kells, Brother Aidan!Copy !req
125. Just this way, brother.Copy !req
126. Hello! Welcome to Kells!Copy !req
127. Hey, wait!Copy !req
128. just talking of you
and of the book.Copy !req
129. Fine size of a place, isn't it?Copy !req
130. Good clean air, bright light
coming from those windows...Copy !req
131. Brother!Copy !req
132. Is that where you keep the book?Copy !req
133. Is... that where...
you keep... the..Copy !req
134. And who might you be?
A very short brother, I see.Copy !req
135. Although short of stature,
is never as short of questions.Copy !req
136. And of what interest
is the book to you?Copy !req
137. Well...
the brothers where talking,Copy !req
138. and they said
that Saint Columb Kil himself began s...Copy !req
139. Brothers, the brother of Aidan
must come with me...Copy !req
140. I must take him to see
the important work we are doing...Copy !req
141. to fortify Kells.
You all have work to do.Copy !req
142. The plans are in my work room.Copy !req
143. Ah see, I was thinking,
I could stay here...Copy !req
144. - and...
- Right this way, brother.Copy !req
145. - Lad!
- Hmm...?Copy !req
146. Find some food for a...Copy !req
147. You see, I am determined to complete
the fortifications within two years.Copy !req
148. So, you're Pangur Ban.
Well I'm Bre...Copy !req
149. Hey! Wait!
I'm supposed to feed you...Copy !req
150. Wait!Copy !req
151. Pangur Ban!Copy !req
152. Pangur Ban!Copy !req
153. You shouldn't have come here.
The North Men will have followed...Copy !req
154. "Did I have to stay,
to be killed?Copy !req
155. I escaped the Vikings and left them
far behind, Brother Cellach...Copy !req
156. Sorry, I mean...
Abbot Cellach.Copy !req
157. The book is saved,
and I need to completed.Copy !req
158. Yes, well... we have more
pressing things to complete here.Copy !req
159. - You mean your wall?
- Not my wall, Aidan!Copy !req
160. A wall to save civilization.Copy !req
161. A wall to save your book!Copy !req
162. Pagans...Copy !req
163. Crom worshipers...Copy !req
164. It is with the strength of our walls,Copy !req
165. that they will come to trust
the strength of our faith.Copy !req
166. You were always good
at the old drawing, Cellach.Copy !req
167. Yes, well if you'd excuse me...
I have a lot to attend to.Copy !req
168. No wall can stop the North Men, Abbot.Copy !req
169. When they come,
all we can do is run...Copy !req
170. and hope
that we are fast enough.Copy !req
171. Come on Pangur.Copy !req
172. Pangur!Copy !req
173. I don't mean the book any harm.Copy !req
174. All I've ever seen
is inside the walls of Kells.Copy !req
175. If I could just see one pageCopy !req
176. Please.Copy !req
177. Well!Copy !req
178. If it isn't the little brother,
with the big questions?Copy !req
179. - I didn't mean to...
- I understand.Copy !req
180. You got bored eavesdropping
on the Abbot's private conversation...Copy !req
181. and decided to rummage
through my things.Copy !req
182. Oh, no, that's not it!Copy !req
183. Calm down lad, calm down,
I won't tell on ya.Copy !req
184. Maybe I...Copy !req
185. The brothers say that sinners are blinded
if they glanced at the book.Copy !req
186. So, maybe I shouldn't...Copy !req
187. Is that what you really believe
happened?Copy !req
188. There's nothing in this life but mist,
is there lad?Copy !req
189. It's your decision,
no one else's.Copy !req
190. The cover, is not the real treasure.
Open it!Copy !req
191. The work of angels.Copy !req
192. "The work of the angels"
Did you hear that, Pangur?Copy !req
193. I didn't know that angels
would be as funny looking as me.Copy !req
194. Maybe the boy
has gone blind.Copy !req
195. I thought the very same,
when I first saw it.Copy !req
196. But it is only the work of mere mortals,
I'm afraid, like me or you.Copy !req
197. The book is a beacon
in these dark days of the North Men.Copy !req
198. Do you want to see
the most beautiful page?Copy !req
199. The one that will turn
darnkess into light?Copy !req
200. It is to be,
the "Chi Ro" page.Copy !req
201. But it hasn't been made yet.Copy !req
202. No, but it will become the most
glorious page of the entire book.Copy !req
203. Tell me Brendan,
would you like to help?Copy !req
204. Oh yes, please! I help the brothers
find quills all the time.Copy !req
205. Calm down,
calm down, little brother.Copy !req
206. Now to start with, you can help me gather
some of these, from an old oak tree.Copy !req
207. What is this?Copy !req
208. It's a humble little berry,Copy !req
209. but it makes the deepest
emerald green ink you'll ever see.Copy !req
210. If you help me get
a dozen or so from the forest...Copy !req
211. I'll show you how to make it,
so, come on!Copy !req
212. What's keeping you?Copy !req
213. I can't go. I'm not allowed
to go outside the walls.Copy !req
214. It's too dangerous.Copy !req
215. It is, dangerous.Copy !req
216. IonaCopy !req
217. I lost my brothers to attackers
from the outside.Copy !req
218. Now I have only the book
to remember them by.Copy !req
219. But... if my brothers
were here now...Copy !req
220. they would tell you
you'll learn more in the woods...Copy !req
221. from trees and rocks
than from any other place.Copy !req
222. You'll see miracles.Copy !req
223. And that is something
the Abbot knew... a long time ago.Copy !req
224. I've never
seen anything like it, Pangur.Copy !req
225. I really want to help
brother Aidan.Copy !req
226. I think I could get those ink berries all
by myself. I could go into the forest...Copy !req
227. wouldn't Brother Aidan
be surprised.Copy !req
228. Ahh...Copy !req
229. but the Abbot...Copy !req
230. I'll be back
before he'd even missed me.Copy !req
231. But...
What if I get lost...Copy !req
232. in the dark?Copy !req
233. No!
I should never go out there!Copy !req
234. if I keep thinking
of the bookCopy !req
235. I won't be afraid of the dark.Copy !req
236. And I'm sure I won't have to go that far.Copy !req
237. Alright so, Pangur Ban.
Tomorrow I'll go into the forest!Copy !req
238. Pangur!Copy !req
239. Of course, it might help if I knew what
an oak tree looked like.Copy !req
240. Maybe we'd better go home...Copy !req
241. Was it this way? Do you remember?Copy !req
242. Don't panic, Pangur. We just have
to find the way back before dark.Copy !req
243. Ow no, it's hard enough...Copy !req
244. Is this your cat?Copy !req
245. Well?Copy !req
246. I've heard about creatures like you.Copy !req
247. You're a fairy!Copy !req
248. What are you doing in my forest?
You've come to spoil it, haven't you?Copy !req
249. You were probably sent here
by your family, to get food, weren't you?Copy !req
250. Well, you can go right back
where you came from.Copy !req
251. If you don't,
I'll make the wolves get you!Copy !req
252. No!Copy !req
253. I didn't mean to...
Look, I'm sorry alright?Copy !req
254. I'm not here to get food for my family.
I'm here to get things to make ink.Copy !req
255. I don't have a family, and we
have food in Kells.Copy !req
256. So I wouldn't come here for it anyway.
I was just a bit lost.Copy !req
257. You have no family?Copy !req
258. No.Copy !req
259. No mother?Copy !req
260. I'm alone too.Copy !req
261. If this is your forest, you must
know everything about it.Copy !req
262. Well, of course.Copy !req
263. No Wait!Copy !req
264. Hello?Copy !req
265. Shhh... not so loud!
Go away!Copy !req
266. No, wait. Please! Do you know where
you can find these?Copy !req
267. Yes.Copy !req
268. But you can't eat those.Copy !req
269. I don't want to eat them, they're for ink.Copy !req
270. What is ink?Copy !req
271. It's for the book...Copy !req
272. For make pictures.Copy !req
273. Liquid colour, you put it on pages...Copy !req
274. like leaves... it's hard to explain,
I suppose you'd have to see it.Copy !req
275. I do not know what you're talking about,
and I don't want to know...Copy !req
276. But.. Brother Aidan...Copy !req
277. I will help you find the things you want,
on one condition...Copy !req
278. You, and your pet, must promise
to never come into my forest again.Copy !req
279. Alright then. We promise.Copy !req
280. Come on then,
I'll ask the forest where they are.Copy !req
281. Ask the... what...?Copy !req
282. Hey, wait!Copy !req
283. My name is Brendan. What's yours?Copy !req
284. It's a miracle, just like Aidan said.Copy !req
285. Aidan is my friend.Copy !req
286. I'm helping him make the most incredible
book in the whole world.Copy !req
287. He says it'll turn darkness into light.
Wait until you see it!Copy !req
288. Wait until you see the rest of my forest!Copy !req
289. You're fast.Copy !req
290. Yes, I'm the fastest.Copy !req
291. So...Copy !req
292. Where are the berries then?Copy !req
293. You have climbed a tree before,
haven't you?Copy !req
294. Yes, of course. It's easy.Copy !req
295. Come on so!Copy !req
296. Saved your life, second time today.Copy !req
297. I thought you knew how to climb trees.Copy !req
298. I do. Smaller ones.Copy !req
299. Yeah... like bushes.Copy !req
300. Don't look down. Come on!Copy !req
301. Look!Copy !req
302. One beatle recognizes another.Copy !req
303. Come on!Copy !req
304. Open your eyes and I'll tell you my name.Copy !req
305. Aisling.Copy !req
306. and this, is my forest.Copy !req
307. I asked them not to sting you.Copy !req
308. Here's what you're looking for...Copy !req
309. but they're not really berries.Copy !req
310. They look like boar droppings.Copy !req
311. They're kind of stinky too.Copy !req
312. If you're finished,
It's time to go back down.Copy !req
313. back down...Copy !req
314. A bit left.Copy !req
315. No wait! Don't lean on that...Copy !req
316. branch.Copy !req
317. I'm sorry it took so long to come down.Copy !req
318. Except for the last part...Copy !req
319. We'd better go now.
I know a secret way to get you home.Copy !req
320. Come on!Copy !req
321. Look!Copy !req
322. Brendan?Copy !req
323. What are you doing? Come away!Copy !req
324. This is a place of suffering.Copy !req
325. Suffering? What do you mean?Copy !req
326. Just come away! It's too dangerous.Copy !req
327. Surely it can't be more dangerous
than climbing an oak tree.Copy !req
328. It is the cave of the Dark One.Copy !req
329. Crom Cruach?Copy !req
330. But Crom Cruach's
only a story for children.Copy !req
331. The Abbot of Kells, says you shouldn't
be afraid of imaginary things.Copy !req
332. It's not imagined.Copy !req
333. It's waiting in the darkness.
Waiting for someone to awaken it.Copy !req
334. Aisling, you're only scaring yourself.Copy !req
335. The abbot says that that's all pagan
nonsense.Copy !req
336. There's no such thing as Crom Cruach...Copy !req
337. Don't... speak it's name!Copy !req
338. You're really frightened?Copy !req
339. Aisling!Copy !req
340. Are you hurt?Copy !req
341. What was that?Copy !req
342. I told you...Copy !req
343. Crom!Copy !req
344. - Brendan?
- Huh?Copy !req
345. You can visit the forest again,
if you like.Copy !req
346. And Pangur can come too.Copy !req
347. - But sir, on Iona we always arange them-
- This is not Iona.Copy !req
348. The scriptorium will be arranged
according to my instructions.Copy !req
349. But this is not good...Copy !req
350. It will be as I say.Copy !req
351. Brother Aidan! I found them! I...Copy !req
352. Well, Brendan.
It's about time we saw you today.Copy !req
353. Where have you been?Copy !req
354. I'm listening. Where were you?Copy !req
355. I...Copy !req
356. I went into the forest.Copy !req
357. Just for a little while, not very long.Copy !req
358. Just... It was for Brother Aidan...Copy !req
359. Brendan. Have I not warned enough
about what lies beyond these walls?Copy !req
360. Yet, you disobey me.Copy !req
361. I know, but for the book...Copy !req
362. Brendan! You are never to leave
the abbey again without my permission.Copy !req
363. Uncle, if you see the book...Copy !req
364. Do you Understand?Copy !req
365. Good.Copy !req
366. Now come along, there are matters
to attend to in the workroom.Copy !req
367. - Look!
- What?Copy !req
368. - I found them.
- You did? So you did!Copy !req
369. I did have a little help.Copy !req
370. From a friend in the forest.Copy !req
371. There's nothing you can't do
when you have friends to help you, right?Copy !req
372. Now, let's see.Copy !req
373. Yes, yes... I believe
these will do very nicely...Copy !req
374. From tiny berries
do great images come to life...Copy !req
375. Come along!Copy !req
376. Lots of smoke... that's a good sign.Copy !req
377. - It is?
- Yes.Copy !req
378. - Ah, beautiful.
- From a stinky berry.Copy !req
379. Making ink is all very well,
but it is useless...Copy !req
380. without one of these.Copy !req
381. I'm not... I'm not allowed to...Copy !req
382. There's no one else here now.Copy !req
383. Just you...Copy !req
384. and your imagination.Copy !req
385. Afraid?Copy !req
386. Me? No. I'm not afraid
of imaginary things.Copy !req
387. Keep going! Finish what you start.Copy !req
388. Gold!Copy !req
389. Not bad.Copy !req
390. I'd say he could do it, right enough.Copy !req
391. Do what?Copy !req
392. I must confess, my boy.Copy !req
393. I haven't been completely honest with you.Copy !req
394. I can not do the "Chi-ro" page.Copy !req
395. My eyes have become too old.
And my hands unsteady.Copy !req
396. But .. you said...Copy !req
397. You should be the one to do that page!Copy !req
398. Me? No! I can never...Copy !req
399. there must be somebody else...Copy !req
400. You have to do it.
I would ruin it.Copy !req
401. No, no, no.
Of course you can do it.Copy !req
402. You found those berriesCopy !req
403. You've certainly developed a steady hand.Copy !req
404. Even before I came you'd already learned
much from the other brothers's work.Copy !req
405. You've only to unleash your imagination!Copy !req
406. I have go.Copy !req
407. Where have you been so early?Copy !req
408. Come along, there is much work to be done.Copy !req
409. I don't know, Pangur...Copy !req
410. Something I cannot see, stops him.Copy !req
411. If he is ever to light up
the "Chi-ro" page...Copy !req
412. he'll have to turn around and stare
whatever it is, in the face!Copy !req
413. Brendan!Copy !req
414. We're moving the scaffolding to
the west wall. Hurry along now!Copy !req
415. I think you're ready
to learn Columb Kil's secret.Copy !req
416. The mesmerizing detail...Copy !req
417. Of course,
you need another eye.Copy !req
418. Now...Copy !req
419. - Once I find the crystal...
- Brother...Copy !req
420. open up a whole new world...
a tiny wonder...Copy !req
421. Columb Kil instructed that the crystal
should never be used,Copy !req
422. for less than work
that's worthy of it.Copy !req
423. It has not been used
since Iona.Copy !req
424. What's... a crystal?Copy !req
425. This's not a crystal, it's The Crystal!Copy !req
426. The eye of Columb Kil.Copy !req
427. Columb Kil created over
300 books in his lifetime.Copy !req
428. By his own hands!Copy !req
429. On his deathbed,
he prayed that his apprenticeCopy !req
430. got a vision as clear and
wonderful as his own.Copy !req
431. then as he drew his last last breath...Copy !req
432. and it dropped from his hand...Copy !req
433. the eye of Colomb Kil!Copy !req
434. Colomb Kil would want it to go to you.Copy !req
435. Where is it?Copy !req
436. Sorry, Pangur.Copy !req
437. Have you seen it?Copy !req
438. It's lost.Copy !req
439. It's all lost!Copy !req
440. Where did you last have it?Copy !req
441. I don't understand.Copy !req
442. If I could show
the crystal to you...Copy !req
443. all would become clear.Copy !req
444. - But...
- But I can still continue my training,Copy !req
445. can't I?Copy !req
446. Have you ever studied the tiny pattern,
on a green fly's wing?Copy !req
447. No.Copy !req
448. And you never will
without the crystal.Copy !req
449. What if we pray for a miracle?Copy !req
450. Like Colomb Kil did?Copy !req
451. Some say, that before the crystal
became known, as the eye of Columb KilCopy !req
452. it had an ancient name...Copy !req
453. Named from the creature that
Colomb Kil won the crystal from.Copy !req
454. Deep... inside
one of it's dwelling places.Copy !req
455. Crom Cruach!Copy !req
456. It was called the eye of "Crom Cruach"Copy !req
457. I can't tell you which parts of this story
are true and what parts...Copy !req
458. are shrouded by the mists.Copy !req
459. Ah, there's nothing in this life
but mist...Copy !req
460. We're only here for a short while...Copy !req
461. Don't worry, Pangur.Copy !req
462. I won't be long.Copy !req
463. You've been forbidden to leave the abbey.Copy !req
464. Now you are also forbidden to enter the
scriptorium.Copy !req
465. Please, Uncle, you don't understand.Copy !req
466. Oh I understand perfectly well!Copy !req
467. No more escursions.Copy !req
468. No more scriptorium
and no more Brother Aidan.Copy !req
469. No.Copy !req
470. What did you say?Copy !req
471. I can't do that.Copy !req
472. I can't give up the book, uncleCopy !req
473. If you looked at just one page and
see why.Copy !req
474. You've forgotten how important it isCopy !req
475. All you want from us is this wall.Copy !req
476. Brother Aidan said
you were an Illuminator, once.Copy !req
477. - He said...
- That's enough!Copy !req
478. If I can't trust you
to stay out of harm's way...Copy !req
479. you'll have to remain here,
untill you'll see sense.Copy !req
480. Cellach, please, don't blame the boy.
I'll have a talk with him and...Copy !req
481. - You will do no such thing.
- You can't...Copy !req
482. Brother Tang
will bring him his meals...Copy !req
483. and once there is nothing left here
to distract him...Copy !req
484. Let me keep the book, Cellach.Copy !req
485. It was entrusted to me.Copy !req
486. All right, then.Copy !req
487. But on the condition that you leave Kells
with the first thaw of spring.Copy !req
488. Brendan...Copy !req
489. Aisling!Copy !req
490. How can I get you out?Copy !req
491. I don't know.Copy !req
492. The tower is locked.Copy !req
493. And my door is bolted from the outside.Copy !req
494. The key is in the Abbot's room.Copy !req
495. Maybe... you can take a message
to Brother Aidan.Copy !req
496. You must go where I can not...Copy !req
497. Pangur Ban...Copy !req
498. Why did the Abbot put you in there?Copy !req
499. Because I disobeyed him.Copy !req
500. Why?Copy !req
501. Look!Copy !req
502. - The Eye of Crom!
- No, it's a crystal.Copy !req
503. I think there's one
in the Dark One's cave.Copy !req
504. I have to go there.Copy !req
505. No, Brendan, it's tricking you.
You should have stayed in your tower.Copy !req
506. Crom Cruach took my people,
it took my mother.Copy !req
507. It takes everything. You will die!Copy !req
508. Aisling, if I don't try, the book
will never be complete.Copy !req
509. The book...Copy !req
510. Alright then, I will help you.Copy !req
511. Aisling! This place is hurting you,
you must go back.Copy !req
512. I'll find someother way.Copy !req
513. I.. I must help you...Copy !req
514. Please hurry, go now!Copy !req
515. Turn the darkness into light.Copy !req
516. Aisling!Copy !req
517. Aisling!Copy !req
518. Old fools!Copy !req
519. Old fools should learn to keep quiet...Copy !req
520. unless young fools want to listen...Copy !req
521. Ha! You're here! How... How did you...?Copy !req
522. How did you get out of the tower?Copy !req
523. You must go back
before the Abbot finds out.Copy !req
524. This is not the place for you, lad,
there is nothing for you here.Copy !req
525. But you're here, the book is here...Copy !req
526. and the eye is here.Copy !req
527. How is this possible?
It was destroyed!Copy !req
528. There is more than one story
about the eye.Copy !req
529. There is more than one dwelling place
for the Dark One...Copy !req
530. and he had more than one eye.Copy !req
531. You... you entered one
of the Dark One's caves?Copy !req
532. You can't find out everything
from books, you know.Copy !req
533. I think I read that once...Copy !req
534. Right then... it is time to begin!Copy !req
535. Your breakfast, Abbot.Copy !req
536. Take it to Brendan.Copy !req
537. See if...Copy !req
538. See if he has come to his senses.Copy !req
539. It's like heaven, no?Copy !req
540. Heaven on Earth.Copy !req
541. Please... please, Abbot, it's my fault.Copy !req
542. Little fool!Copy !req
543. The North Men are upon us
and here you are... drawing!Copy !req
544. We have one day before the Vikings
attack Kells!Copy !req
545. - The gate won't hold.
- We must run from here!Copy !req
546. The gate will hold! You will lead
the refugees into the chapel.Copy !req
547. They will seek comfort there
until the attackers move on.Copy !req
548. Tang! Tell villagers
to stay in their house.Copy !req
549. Cellach!Copy !req
550. You'll be safe in here,
with your precious book.Copy !req
551. No, not yet!Copy !req
552. Stay inside!Copy !req
553. Tang! Open the door!Copy !req
554. Into the tower!Copy !req
555. One at a time!
The steps aren't strong enough!Copy !req
556. Tang, there are too many!Copy !req
557. It's too late!Copy !req
558. Close the door!Copy !req
559. Brendan!Copy !req
560. Ink! We have to make ink!Copy !req

573. The only way he knew how...Copy !req
574. Now I must protect youCopy !req
575. for Cellach and for the book.Copy !req
576. Gold!Copy !req
577. Brendan!Copy !req
578. Aisling!Copy !req
579. We have to keep running, Brendan,
and hope that we're fast enough.Copy !req
580. He's alive!Copy !req
581. I'm so tired.Copy !req
582. Tang, leave me be.Copy !req
583. Please...Copy !req
584. Leave me be...Copy !req
585. You are the Abbot of Kells!Copy !req
586. You must get up!Copy !req
587. The book was never meant
to be hidden away behind walls...Copy !req
588. locked away from the world
which inspired its creation.Copy !req
589. Brendan,Copy !req
590. You must take the book to the peopleCopy !req
591. So that they may have hope...Copy !req

602. I need time!Copy !req
603. Uncle!Copy !req
604. Brendan?Copy !req
605. It is a dream...Copy !req

607. I'm so happy to find you here.Copy !req
608. I thought I'd lost you a long ago.Copy !req
609. Brendan!Copy !req
610. You were only a boy...Copy !req
611. All those innocents... lost.Copy !req
612. - All my fault...
- Please, uncle...Copy !req
613. Do not distress yourself.Copy !req
614. You don't understand.Copy !req

619. About the book...Copy !req
620. I shouldn't have...Copy !req
621. This is all I have left.Copy !req

624. And I tried to stop him.Copy !req
625. Aidan never paid you much heed, uncle.Copy !req
