Story Transcript:

Cy: Castell Coch oedd y lle perffaith ar gyfer ymweliad gan Aeron a Carys.
En: Castell Coch was the perfect place for a visit by Aeron and Carys.

Cy: Roedd y draig goch, symudol fel yr hydref ei hun, wedi golchi'r bryniau mewn lliwiau o felyn, oren a choch, yn osgoi'r coedlog wrth sŵn prysur y dail dan draed.
En: The red dragon, as lively as autumn itself, had washed the hills in hues of yellow, orange, and red, evading the woodland to the busy sound of leaves underfoot.

Cy: Roedd y castell yn llawn hanes, yn dwyn i feddwl chwedlau'r Tylwyth Teg.
En: The castle was full of history, reminiscent of the tales of the Tylwyth Teg.

Cy: Roedd Aeron wedi cadw ei deimladau ynghylch yr etifeddiaeth yn gudd am amser maith.
En: Aeron had kept his feelings about the inheritance hidden for a long time.

Cy: 'Roedd gafael ar yr heirloom teuluol, dwsin braf deg y cant o'i deulu cyfan. Roedd arno eisiau dod a'r eitem werthfawr i'w gartref er mwyn codi ei hyder ei hun — i brofi ei fod yn werth yr un faint â'i frodyr a'i chwiorydd llwyddiannus.
En: Holding onto the family heirloom—an impressive dozen worth ten percent of his entire family—he wanted to bring the valuable item to his home to boost his own confidence, to prove he was worth the same as his successful brothers and sisters.

Cy: Ond, roedd Carys, ei chwaer, yn ddynes o gyfrifoldebau teuluol.
En: But Carys, his sister, was a woman of family responsibilities.

Cy: Roedd hi bob amser wedi cymeradwyo'r traddodiad, lle roedd yr etifeddiaeth yn cael ei rhannu rhwng y plant hynaf.
En: She had always endorsed the tradition, where the inheritance was divided among the eldest children.

Cy: Roedd hi'n parchu'r heirloom, nid dim ond am ei werth materol, ond am y symbolaeth roedd yn ei gario fel pont rhwng cenedlaethau.
En: She respected the heirloom, not just for its material value, but for the symbolism it carried as a bridge between generations.

Cy: "Roedd rhaid i ni siarad, Carys," meddai Aeron, ei lais yn drwch o benderfyniad, tra oedden nhw'n sefyll o flaen muriau'r castell.
En: "We need to talk, Carys," said Aeron, his voice thick with determination, as they stood before the castle walls.

Cy: "Mae'r heirloom mor bwysig i mi. Byddai'n symbol o fy llwyddiant a fy ngwaith caled."
En: "The heirloom is so important to me. It would be a symbol of my success and hard work."

Cy: Cododd Carys ei dwylo, tawel ond cadarn.
En: Carys raised her hands, calm but firm.

Cy: "Aeron, dwi'n deall pa mor bwysig yw hyn i ti. Ond mae'r traddodiad hwn yn goleuni'r teulu. Sut allwn ni ei dorri?"
En: "Aeron, I understand how important this is to you. But this tradition is the light of the family. How can we break it?"

Cy: Roedd y ddadl yn parhau, yn codi i lefelau uchel, gan atseinio trwy'r neuaddau carreg fel rhuo gwynt trwy newydd y coed.
En: The argument continued, rising to high levels, echoing through the stone halls like the roar of wind through new leaves.

Cy: Yn eu calonnau, roedd y ddau yn gwybod pa mor ddwys oedd y drafodaeth hon ac yn dymuno dod o hyd i dir canol.
En: In their hearts, both knew how deep this discussion was and wished to find common ground.

Cy: Yn y diwedd, daeth Carys at Aeron ar draws y cilfan yn y castell.
En: In the end, Carys approached Aeron across the alcove in the castle.

Cy: Gafaelodd yn y ffenestr ganddi'r golwg o'r coetir derw oddi tanynt.
En: She grasped the window with a view of the oak woods beneath them.

Cy: "A beth os, fe wnawn ni wneud y ddau?" cynigiodd.
En: "And what if, we do both?" she proposed.

Cy: "Gallwn rannu’r etifeddiaeth. Fe all weini fel peth o'n hanes, ond hefyd fel ffordd i ganolbwyntio ar dy lwyddiannau di."
En: "We can share the inheritance. It can serve as part of our history, but also as a way to focus on your achievements."

Cy: Ar ôl peth anesmadogedd, cytunodd Aeron i'r trefniant.
En: After some unease, Aeron agreed to the arrangement.

Cy: Addefodd pa mor bwysig oedd cefnogaeth ei deulu, mwy na feddiannu'r etifeddiaeth ei hun.
En: He admitted how important his family's support was, more than possessing the inheritance itself.

Cy: Oeddd Carys wedi adnewyddu dealltwriaeth o ing ei brawd.
En: Carys had renewed her understanding of her brother's distress.

Cy: Wrth adael Castell Coch, roedd yr haul yn glaso wedi codi dros gopaon y coed, gan gario gyda chi bellach deimlad o heddwch a dealltwriaeth rhwng y ddau deulu.
En: As they left Castell Coch, the rising sun over the treetops now carried a feeling of peace and understanding between the two families.

Cy: Roedd y goeden fardd'n gwyro ei changhennau adref, am y tro cyntaf am amser maith, gydag aer arferol llonydd ac awel uchel ymwybodol o'u colledion a'u hen ennill.
En: The bardic tree bowed its branches homeward, for the first time in a long while, with the usual still air and a high breeze conscious of their losses and old gains.

Cy: Ond mae rhywbeth yn ei theimladau a'i chalon yn anniddorol, yn gymylu ei golwg ar yr harddwch o'i chwmpas.
En: But there's something unsettling in her feelings and heart, clouding her view of the beauty around her.

Cy: "Dw i'n methu stopio meddwl am fy mywyd," meddai Rhiannon yn sibrwd wrth Dafydd, tra'n cydbwyso ar wydnion.
En: "I can't stop thinking about my life," Rhiannon whispers to Dafydd, while balancing on a ridge.

Cy: "Dw i angen penderfynu rhywbeth mawr, ond mae'n anodd gwneud hynny.
En: "I need to decide something big, but it's difficult to do that."

Cy: "Mae Dafydd yn gwenu'n annogol.
En: Dafydd smiles encouragingly.

Cy: "Bydd popeth yn iawn," meddai, dwyn ei ysgwydd yn glymus.
En: "Everything will be fine," he says, giving her shoulder a gentle squeeze.

Cy: "Mae'r daith hon yn gyfle da i feddwl a gweld gyda dy galon agored.
En: "This journey is a good opportunity to think and see with your heart open."

Cy: "Mae'r awel oer yn codi ac yn chwythu'r dail i gyd-flethu a dawnsio o amgylch.
En: The cold breeze rises and blows the leaves to swirl and dance around.

Cy: Mae'r dirwedd yn dod yn fwy cnoi clir o amrant i amrant wrth iddynt symud ymlaen, croesi pont fach dros nant sy'n symud.
En: The landscape becomes clearer with each passing moment as they move forward, crossing a small bridge over a moving stream.

Cy: "Paid â phoeni ormod," meddai Dafydd yn dirion.
En: "Don't worry too much," Dafydd says gently.

Cy: "Wyddost ti, weithiau bydd angen i ni ollwng gafael a gadael i'r profiad ein harwain ble mae angen mynd.
En: "You know, sometimes we need to let go and allow the experience to guide us where we need to go."

Cy: "Er bod Rhiannon yn teimlo pryder, mae geiriau cysur Dafydd yn ei chyffwrdd.
En: Even though Rhiannon feels anxious, Dafydd's comforting words touch her.

Cy: Wrth iddo noddi ei hyder, mae'n dechrau teimlo rhywbeth yn newid y tu mewn iddi.
En: As he boosts her confidence, she begins to feel something changing inside her.

Cy: Mae'r daith am Orweddfa Dwyryd yn codi'n serth, ac mae mor bell i'r copa.

Cy: Wrth iddynt gyrraedd yr olygfa, mae golygfa eang a godidog yn ei hwynebu.

En: In this moment, the landscape and the magic of autumn bring some clarity.

Cy: Mae Rhiannon yn cymryd anadl ddofn, yn teimlo ei hun yn gadarnach.
En: Rhiannon takes a deep breath, feeling herself more solid.

Cy: "Gallu agor fy nghalon a derbyn cymorth sawl siomedigaeth ond hefyd sawl cyfle," meddai wrth Dafydd, prisio'r hyn a ddaw o'r amser ar y mynyddoedd hyn.
En: "Being able to open my heart and accept help brings many disappointments but also many opportunities," she says to Dafydd, appreciating what these times on the mountains bring.

Cy: Mae Rhiannon yn deall na fydd pob penderfyniad yn hawdd, ond mae'n gweld nad yw'n unig ym mhob cam.
En: Rhiannon understands that not every decision will be easy, but she sees that she is not alone every step of the way.

Cy: Mae hefyd yn gwybod, gyda chefnogaeth, y bydd hi'n cael, mae cefnogaeth gwyrddlas y bryniau yn gorofengysgu ar gefndir.
En: She also knows that with support, she will have the greenish-blue hills as a comforting backdrop.

En: She is grateful to Dafydd for his companionship and guidance and decides to be ready to embrace change.

Cy: Efallai nad yw'r daith hon ar ben, ond mae Rhiannon yn teimlo'n hyderus ac yn barod i ddechrau ar ei ffordd newydd.
En: This journey may not be over, but Rhiannon feels confident and ready to start on her new path.

Cy: Mae taflenni dail yn lledaeniad dan droed, sy'n atgoffa iddi bod newidiadau bob amser yn digwydd, boed mewn natur neu fywyd.

Cy: Wedi'i rwymo gyda doethineb newydd, troesodd ei lyw, yn barod i gofleidio’r hen straeon a’u ail-adrodd i unrhyw un a fyddai’n gwrando.
En: Bound with new wisdom, he turned his helm, ready to embrace the old tales and retell them to anyone who would listen.

Cy: Roedd y glannau, er gwyllt a gwyntog, wedi dod yn gludfa o hud.
En: The shores, though wild and windy, had become a vessel of magic.

Cy: Y mae’r gwyntoedd o’r môr yn chwythu drwy goed aur Aberystwyth ym mis Hydref.
En: The winds from the sea blow through the golden trees of Aberystwyth in October.

Cy: Mae’r myfyrwyr yn symud rhwng darlithoedd, gyda choblyn o brysurdeb.
En: The students move between lectures with all sorts of busyness.

Cy: Wrth ochr y Llyfrgell Hafren, eisteddai Rhys ar fainc gyda llyfrau piled uchel o’i gwmpas.
En: Beside the "Llyfrgell Hafren", Rhys sat on a bench with books piled high around him.

Cy: Roedd ei lygad yn methu ffocysu, ei ben yn orlawn o syniadau a theorïau am fioleg môr.
En: His eyes couldn’t focus, his head was overflowing with ideas and theories about marine biology.

Cy: Pan ddaw Carys i weld Rhys, gwenodd hi’n eang.
En: When Carys came to see Rhys, she smiled broadly.

Cy: "Rhys," meddai Carys gyda’i llais melys, "beth am fynd am dro?"
En: "Rhys," said Carys with her sweet voice, "how about going for a walk?"

Cy: "Dim amser, Carys," atebodd Rhys yn frwnt, llygaid wedi’u plygu ar y tudalen.
En: "No time, Carys," answered Rhys brusquely, his eyes glued to the page.

Cy: Ond roedd Carys, wastad yn ffrind diymatal, yn gwybod ei fod yn gwrthod yr union beth oedd ei angen arno.
En: But Carys, always the persistent friend, knew he was refusing exactly what he needed.

Cy: Yr oedd nerfusrwydd Rhys wedi cynyddu hyd at bwynt lle roedd fel pe bai cyfrifiadur yn gor-lwytho.
En: Rhys's nervousness had increased to the point where he seemed like a computer overloaded.
