Story Transcript:

Cy: Yn y pellter, roedd mawredd y castell Cymreig mewn ardaloedd o adfail, yn eistedd ar glogwyn yn edrych dros dir llwm.
En: In the distance, the grandeur of the Welsh castle in areas of ruin sat on a cliff overlooking the barren land.

Cy: Llawer wedi ceisio dod o hyd i drysor cudd yno, ond roedd y ffordd yn anodd.
En: Many had tried to find hidden treasure there, but the path was difficult.

Cy: Blew'r awel hydrefol drwy'r coed sgerbwd, a'r cymylau glas yn nodi bod storm yn codi ar y gorwel.
En: The autumn breeze blew through the skeletal trees, and the blue clouds signaled a storm rising on the horizon.

Cy: Rhys, yn ddyn dewr a phenderfynol, chwiliai am elfen arbennig.
En: Rhys, a brave and determined man, was searching for a special element.

Cy: Credai fod honno'n gallu adfywio’i gymuned.
En: He believed it could rejuvenate his community.

Cy: Ceri, chwaer Rhys, a oedd wedi'i cholli mewn storm flynyddoedd yn ôl, yn byw yn ei atgofion.
En: Ceri, Rhys' sister, who had been lost in a storm years ago, lived in his memories.

Cy: Gyda phob cam drwy'r adfeilion, teimlai ei henaid yn rhoi ei gryfder iddo barhau.
En: With every step through the ruins, he felt her spirit giving him the strength to continue.

Cy: Wrth ddringo’r graean serth, fe welodd Rhys Aeron.
En: While climbing the steep gravel, Rhys saw Aeron.

Cy: Roedd Aeron yn gadarn, llygaid yn llym, a'i gorff parod i amddiffyn ei glan.
En: Aeron was firm, eyes sharp, and his body ready to defend his home.

Cy: "Pwy wyt ti?" holodd Aeron gyda rhybuddiad yn ei lais.
En: "Who are you?" asked Aeron with a warning in his voice.

Cy: Ymdeimlo o ansicrwydd rhwng y ddau, ond roedd gan Rhys syniad.
En: There was a sense of uncertainty between the two, but Rhys had an idea.

Cy: Rhoiadau bwyd i law Aeron.
En: He handed food offerings to Aeron.

Cy: "Cymrwch eu hyn er mwyn trust," meddai.
En: "Take these for trust," he said.

Cy: Yn araf, diflannodd y tensiwn.
En: Slowly, the tension disappeared.

Cy: Ddyddiol, trafferthiodd dau ddyn i lenwi anghenion eu hamodau, gan ddod o hyd i ryw fath o ddealltwriaeth.
En: Day by day, the two men labored to meet the demands of their conditions, finding some sort of understanding.

Cy: Ar noson Samhain, wedi’r haul machlud, dychwelodd Rhys a Aeron i’r adfeilion i dynnu arteffact eithriadol.
En: On the night of Samhain, after the sun set, Rhys and Aeron returned to the ruins to extract an extraordinary artifact.

Cy: Ond neges o storm yn torri’r gwynt.
En: But the message of a storm broke through the wind.

Cy: Sgrech y gwynt yn adleisio’r storm a gymerodd Ceri.
En: The wind's screech echoed the storm that took Ceri.

Cy: Gyda ffordd glos, rhaid i’r ddau fabwysiadu lloches mewn gornel.
En: With the path narrow, the two had to take shelter in a corner.

Cy: “Cadwn atoch,” meddai Rhys, a oedd yn angofio eich poeni.
En: “Stay with you,” said Rhys, forgetting his worries.

Cy: Rhwng streiciau mellt, rhoddodd Aeron y ddyfyniad.
En: Among flashes of lightning, Aeron gave the quote.

Cy: “Ti'n haeddu bod gyda ni,” dywedodd Aeron.
En: “You deserve to be with us,” said Aeron.

Cy: “Cymuned newydd i ti”.
En: “A new community for you.”

Cy: Wrth i'r storm gilio, gwelodd y ddau brynhawn newydd yn dechrau.
En: As the storm subsided, the two saw a new afternoon beginning.

Cy: Y dadleniad henw leol oedd eu heiddasol, ac roeddent yn gweithio gyda'i gilydd.
En: The revelation of the ancient local name was theirs to guard, and they worked together.

Cy: Roedd y cyfarfod rhwng Rhys ac Aeron yn gweld un arall mewn sioe.
En: The meeting between Rhys and Aeron witnessed another in a display.

Cy: Yn sydyn, roedd teulu newydd a gobaith newydd wedi’i greu.
En: Suddenly, a new family and new hope were created.

Cy: Fi a chwi, gyda'r relic, yn paratoi ar gyfer y bennod nesaf, wrth i addewidiad gobaith goleuo Cymdeithas.
En: You and I, with the relic, prepared for the next chapter, as the promise of hope illuminated the Society.

Cy: Ac felly roedd Rhys yn dysgu bwysigrwydd ymddiriedaeth eto, dod i Chapel yr awyr newydd.
En: And so, Rhys learned the importance of trust again, coming to the new Sky Chapel.

Cy: Roedd yr undod a gyfunodd yn rhoi gobaith i'w gilydd nad oedd yn dyheu am golli eto.
En: The unity they combined gave each other hope they did not yearn to lose again.

Cy: Unwaith eto, roedd yr elfen wedi caniatáu i gymuned ffynnu.
En: Once again, the element had allowed the community to thrive.
