Speaker 3: one who fights against the icy wind.
Speaker 1: Laja badi the supta sin sa the shad camina greg

Speaker 3: The com presence of Laya at his side gave him
Speaker 3: the courage to continue, opening up, speaking of his doubts
Speaker 3: and fears.

Speaker 3: in soft light, breaking through the clouds.
Speaker 1: Annake mumen mintroesusitat dl munas ti matteo bas and ti

Speaker 3: At that moment, as he observed the majesty of the monastery,
Speaker 3: Mattil felt an overwhelming wave of peace.
