    Story Transcript:

    Cy: Mae'r awyrgylch yn Eryri yn arbennig o brydferth yn yr hydref.
    En: The atmosphere in Eryri is especially beautiful in the autumn.

    Cy: Mae'r awyr yn glirlwng, a'r dail coed yn lliwio mewn coch, aur a melyn llachar.
    En: The sky is clear, and the tree leaves are colored in bright red, gold, and yellow.

    Cy: Mae Rhiannon a Dafydd yn cerdded ar hyd llwybr gul a chraig a thringedig.

    En: Rhiannon looks to the side, her eyes paying attention to the expanses.

    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.
    En: The journey to Orweddfa Dwyryd rises steeply, and it's so far to the summit.

    Cy: Wrth iddynt gyrraedd yr olygfa, mae golygfa eang a godidog yn ei hwynebu.
    En: As they reach the viewpoint, a vast and magnificent view greets her.

    Cy: Ar yr eiliad hon, mae'r tirlun a hud yr hydref yn dod â rhywfaint o eglurder.
    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.

    Cy: Mae'n ddiolchgar i Dafydd am ei glebrusrwydd a chyfarfod, a phenderfynodd fod yn barod i groesawu newid.
    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.
