    Cy: Fe ddechreuodd y cynllun gymryd ei daro.
    En: The plan began to take shape.

    Cy: Gan eu bod yn rhannu jôcs a startennau, roedd y rhuthr yn diflannu, ac roedd cyfaillrwydd yn deithio rhwng y tri.

    En: Emrys, in his quietness, said, "This is an amazingly beautiful feat, and I'm glad to be with you" as they reached the place of vision.

    Cy: Yn uffernol, darganfu Emrys a Carys rhywbeth mwy na'r eira - cyfeillgarwch newydd.
    En: Amazingly, Emrys and Carys discovered something more than the snow—a new friendship.

    Cy: Erbyn nhw deithiodd yn ôl i'r garfan, roedd yr awyrgylch yn llawer llai swyddogol.
    En: By the time they traveled back to the group, the atmosphere was much less formal.

    Cy: Doedd dim angen lefel ewfforia chwareus ar y cyngor.
    En: There was no need for playful euphoria in the conversation.

    Cy: Cyrhaeddon nhw hyd at y bysiau gyda golau'r prynawn yn eangu, a Carys yn dweud, "Rhaid i ni wneud hyn eto cyn hir!
    En: They arrived at the buses with the afternoon light broadening, and Carys said, "We must do this again soon!"

    Cy: "Wrth i'r ffordd yn ôl fynd heibio, roedd Gwyneth yn fwy hyderus.
    En: As the way back passed by, Gwyneth was more confident.

    Cy: Roedd hi heb awgrymu'n fwy amlwg y gall hi arwain.
    En: She had suggested more prominently that she could lead.

    Cy: Roedd eu bywydau nhw wedi newid.
    En: Their lives had changed.

    Cy: Roedd y grŵp bellach yn ddygn i ailymuno'n rheolaidd.

    Story Transcript:

    Cy: Yn ystod gwanwyn ym Morlin Amalfi, lle mae'r clogwyni yn codi o'r môr glas, roedd yna ddwfn stori am drysor coll wedi'i guddio rhwng y creigiau.
    En: During a spring day in Morlin Amalfi, where the cliffs rise from the blue sea, there was a deep story about a lost treasure hidden among the rocks.

    Cy: Yn y fan hyn, roedd Carys, teithwraig anturiaethus, yn cerdded gydag Emrys a Gwyneth.
    En: Here, Carys, an adventurous traveler, was walking with Emrys and Gwyneth.

    Cy: Roedd hi'n bryderus i ganfod gwirionedd y chwedl leol.
    En: She was eager to uncover the truth of the local legend.

    Cy: “Mae'n rhaid i ni fynd i'r hen ogof honno,” meddai Carys gyda disgleirdeb yn ei llygaid.
    En: “We have to go to that old cave,” said Carys with a gleam in her eye.

    Cy: “Efallai bod y trysor yno.”
    En: “Maybe the treasure is there.”

    Cy: Roedd Emrys, hanesydd mewn chwedlau Ewropeaidd, yn codi ei aeliau.
    En: Emrys, a historian of European legends, raised his eyebrows.

    Cy: “Mae'n chwedl, Carys,” yr oedd yn dweud yn rhybuddio, “ond… mae'n werth archwilio.”
    En: “It’s a legend, Carys,” he said warningly, “but… it’s worth exploring.”

    Cy: Roedd Gwyneth, newyddiadurwraig pragmatig, yn cymryd lluniau a nodiadau am y tirwedd godidog.
    En: Gwyneth, a pragmatic journalist, was taking pictures and notes about the magnificent landscape.

    Cy: “Byddai'n stori dda, serch hynny,” meddai, “os yw'n wir.”
    En: “It would be a good story, nonetheless,” she said, “if it’s true.”

    Cy: Yn dilyn llwybr cul rhwng coed llysiau gwyrddlas, daeth y tri at ogof rwbel, wedi'i orchuddio gan olygyddion natur.
    En: Following a narrow path between lush green trees, the trio arrived at a rocky cave, covered by the hand of nature.

    Cy: Roedd Carys yn archwilio, yn dewis ei chamau'n ofalus.
    En: Carys was exploring, selecting her steps carefully.

    Cy: Yna, gyda'i llygaid disglair, fe wnaeth sylwi ar hen fap o fewn cist bren gwasgaredig.
    En: Then, with her bright eyes, she noticed an old map within a scattered wooden chest.

    Cy: “Edrychwch!” gwaeddodd hi wrth ddangos y map i'r llall.
    En: “Look!” she shouted, showing the map to the others.

    Cy: Yr oedd Emrys yn syllu, ei scepticism yn dadfeilio, a'r ddalennau hen papur yn ysgogi ei ddychymyg.
    En: Emrys stared, his skepticism fading, as the old paper sheets ignited his imagination.

    Cy: Ond cyn iddynt symud ymlaen, dechreuodd cymylau tywyll lenwi'r awyr.
    En: But before they could move on, dark clouds began to fill the sky.

    Cy: Dechreuodd gwyntoedd cryfion chwythu a storm fwrlwm o waith, roeddyn nhw’n gorfod chwilio am loches mewn tafarn leol ar ben y ffordd.
    En: Strong winds started to blow, and a brewing storm forced them to seek shelter in a local tavern down the road.

    Cy: Camodd y tri i mewn, yr adeilad hen ddynodol yn eu lapio â phrydferthwch traddodiadol yr ardal.
    En: The trio stepped inside, the old building wrapping them in the traditional beauty of the area.

    Cy: Roedd y storm yn rhuo y tu allan wrth iddyn nhw rannu barn am eu taflwybr newydd.
    En: The storm roared outside as they shared opinions about their newfound path.

    Cy: “Mae’n rhaid i ni sicrhau’r map,” meddai Gwyneth, yn tynnu lluniau er cof am y trysor posib.
    En: “We must secure the map,” said Gwyneth, taking photos for the memory of the possible treasure.

    Cy: Wrth i’r cymylau gliriach ollwng golau haul dros y wlad, aeth Carys yn fwy hyderus yn ei deimladau greddfol.
    En: As the clouds cleared, letting rays of sunlight over the land, Carys grew more confident in her instincts.

    Cy: Hyd yn oed Emrys, yn hidio gwybodaeth wyddonol meddwl agored am chwedlau, roedd yn barod i arbrofi.
    En: Even Emrys, valuing scientific knowledge with an open mind toward legends, was ready to experiment.

    Cy: “Rydyn ni ddim ond ar ddechrau ein hantur,” gyda phenasbect. Meddai Carys, gyda gobaith yng ngolau ei llygaid.
    En: “We are only at the beginning of our adventure,” said Carys with hope in her eyes.

    Cy: Roedd y trip i’r Amalfi yn dod i ben gyda boddhad o'r antur lle cawsant gychwyn ymlaen, croesaniadau rhwng mympwy, gwybodaeth a chwedl henferched thecas.
    En: The trip to the Amalfi ended with the satisfaction of an adventure where they had set forth, a crossroads between whimsy, knowledge, and captivating old legends.

    Cy: Ac felly wnaeth y triawd sicrhau bod eu siwrnai yn parhau, trwy aberth a chywirdeb, yn barod i herio’r hanes diog rhyfeddol.
    En: And so the trio ensured that their journey continued, through sacrifice and precision, ready to challenge the incredible serene history.
