But a new life of adventure beckons when a celebrated master illuminator arrives from foreign lands carrying an ancient but unfinished book, brimming with secret wisdom and powers. To help complete the magical book, Brendan has to overcome his deepest fears on a dangerous quest that takes him into the enchanted forest where mythical creatures hide. It is here that he meets the fairy Aisling, a mysterious young wolf-girl, who helps him along the way. But with the barbarians closing in, will Brendan's determination and artistic vision illuminate the darkness and show that enlightenment is the best fortification against evil? |

Quotes

Brendan: You can't find out everything from books, you know. Aidan: I think I read that once. Aisling: [from trailer] I've lived through many ages. I've seen suffering in the darkness. Yet I have seen beauty thrive in the most fragile of places. I have seen the book. The book that turns darkness into light. Brendan: Aidan is my friend. I'm helping him make the most incredible book in the whole world! He says it will turn darkness into light. Wait until you see it! Aisling: Wait until you see the rest of my forest. Aisling: [interrupting him] Is this your cat? [Brendan screams and falls off rock] Aisling: *Well?* Brendan: I've heard about... creatures like you. You're a fairy! [Aisling gives Pangur Ban a dubious look] Aisling: What are you doing in my forest? You've come to spoil it, haven't you? Brendan: Uh... Aisling: [accusingly] You were probably sent here by your family to get food, weren't you? Well. You can go right back where you came from. If you don't, I'll make the wolves get you. *Rawr!* Brendan: No! uh, I didn't mean to. Look, I'm sorry alright? I'm not here to get food for my family. I'm here to get things to make ink. I don't have a family, and we have food in Kells. So I wouldn't come here for it anyway. I was just... a bit lost. Aisling: You have no family? Brendan: Uh, no. Aisling: No mother? [Brendan looks down. Aisling bows her head] Aisling: I'm alone too. Aisling: Open your eyes and I'll tell you my name. [Brendan opens them] *Aisling* Brendan: Aisling. Aisling: And this... is *my* forest. Aisling: It took my mother. It takes everything. You'll die. Aidan: When they come, all we can do is run and hope that we are fast enough. Aisling: I thought you knew how to climb trees. Brendan: I do. Smaller ones. Aisling: [laughs] Yeah. Like *bushes*. [Brendan glares at her] |
