been made yet.

would you like
to help me?

Oh, yes, please!
I help the Brothers
find quills all the time.

Calm down, calm down,
little Brother.

Now, to start with, you can
help me gather some of these,
from an old oak tree.

What is it?
It's a humble
little berry,

291
00:17:55,657 --> 00:17:59,577
but it makes
the deepest emerald green
ink you will ever see.

292
00:17:59,661 --> 00:18:03,289
If you help me
get a dozen or so
from the forest,

293
00:18:03,373 --> 00:18:10,338
I'll show you
how to make it.
So, come on!

00:18:10,422 --> 00:18:11,798
What's keeping you?

295
00:18:11,882 --> 00:18:16,219
I can't go.
I'm not allowed
outside the walls.

296
00:18:16,303 --> 00:18:18,596
It's too dangerous.

297
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:22,141
It is dangerous.

On Iona,

299
00:18:24,394 --> 00:18:28,564
I lost my brothers
to attackers
from the outside.

300
00:18:28,649 --> 00:18:32,568
Now, I have only the book
to remember them by.

301
00:18:32,653 --> 00:18:36,614
But if my brothers
were here now,

302
00:18:36,698 --> 00:18:39,951
they would tell you
that you will learn
more in the woods

303
00:18:40,035 --> 00:18:43,079
from trees and rocks
than in any other place.

304
00:18:43,163 --> 00:18:45,873
You will see miracles.

305
00:18:45,958 --> 00:18:57,343
And that is something
the Abbot knew
a long time ago.

I really want to
help Brother Aidan.

00:19:07,479 --> 00:19:10,565
I think I could get
those ink berries
all by myself.

310
00:19:10,649 --> 00:19:16,279
I could go into the forest.
Wouldn't Brother Aidan
be surprised?

00:19:16,363 --> 00:19:19,157
Oh. But the Abbot...

312

I'd be back before
he'd even miss me.
