    Story Transcript:

    Cy: Mae’r awyr yn drwm gyda’r arogl o goffi ffres wrth iddi droi'n hwyr yn ystod dathliadau Calan Gaeaf ym Marina Abertawe.
    En: The air is heavy with the smell of fresh coffee as it turns late during the Calan Gaeaf celebrations at the Marina Abertawe.

    Cy: Gwneir swyn hud o'r egin newydd a gwin pob man wrth i blant wisgo'u gwisgoedd ysbryd i gasglu pwdinau.
    En: A magical charm is made from fresh shoots and mulled wine as children dress in their ghostly costumes to collect treats.

    Cy: Ond heddiw, nid yw golwg falch Marina Abertawe y peth mwyaf diddorol.
    En: But today, the proud sight of Marina Abertawe isn't the most intriguing thing.

    Cy: Mae rhywbeth arall wedi cynhyrfu’r dref – gwrthrych dirgel yn nofio yn y dŵr.
    En: Something else has stirred the town - a mysterious object floating in the water.

    Cy: Eira, myfyrwyr prifysgol yn astudio bioleg y môr, sef ei hun wrth ymyl y dŵr, chwilfrydig a phryderus.
    En: Eira, a university student studying marine biology, finds herself by the water, curious and anxious.

    Cy: “Mae’n rhaid i mi ddarganfod beth yw e!” meddai hi wrthi hi ei hun, codi ei llygaid i Orwelon’r môr.
    En: “I must find out what it is!” she tells herself, lifting her eyes to the horizon of the sea.

    Cy: “Dim ond chwedl ydy e, Eira,” dywedodd Gethin, pysgotwr lleol gyda storiâu haerllug o uchder.
    En: “It’s just a legend, Eira,” said Gethin, a local fisherman with tall tales.

    Cy: Roedd ei wyneb, wedi ei lygru gan y gwynt môr, yn adleisio balchder a beirgyn.
    En: His face, weathered by the sea wind, echoed pride and boldness.

    Cy: “Mae pob chwedl yn gorfod dod o rhywle,” rhybuddiodd Eira, disgleirio o dan y golau llanw sy’n taro dros y cei.
    En: “Every legend has got to come from somewhere,” Eira warned, shining under the tidal light that strikes above the quay.

    Cy: Yn agos, roedd Caffi y Marina yn brysur gyda seciwencau o clecs a chlyfrau.
    En: Nearby, the Caffi y Marina was bustling with sequences of gossip and chatter.

    Cy: Rhosyn, perchennog y lle, yn seren ar yr ysgwydd a'i wyneb yn barod i ddod i’r fei.
    En: Rhosyn, the owner, was a star on the shoulder with her face ready to step in.

    Cy: “Beth bynnag yw e, nid wyf isio unrhyw faint o dryblith yn trafferthu fy ngwsmeriaid,” dywedodd hi’n holl gredadwy.
    En: “Whatever it is, I don’t want any amount of trouble bothering my customers,” she said quite credibly.

    Cy: Ond roedd teimlad rhyfeddu tu mewn i Rhosyn yn codi ei gyffro, a chafodd ei hun yn chwilio am wynebiaeth ymysg ei chwsmeriaid, chwilio am rhyw gwybodaeth na roedd hi eto wedi clywed.
    En: But there was a feeling of wonder rising in Rhosyn that sparked her excitement, and she found herself searching for a face among her customers, searching for some information she hadn’t yet heard.

    Cy: Yn wynebu penbleth, penderfynodd Eira actio a gofynnodd am help.
    En: Facing a dilemma, Eira decided to act and asked for help.

    Cy: “Nid oeddwn wedi gweld rhywbeth tebyg,” cytunodd Gethin y tro hwn, wrth fachu ei gwch, “Ond rwy’n gwirioni ar greadigrwydd!”
    En: “I hadn’t seen anything like it,” Gethin agreed this time, while docking his boat, “But I love the creativity!”

    Cy: Er gwaethaf y superstitions, daeth Gethin ac Eira at ei gilydd gyda rhestr o wybodaeth gan bobl y marina.
    En: Despite the superstitions, Gethin and Eira came together with a list of information from the people of the marina.

    Cy: Roedd Rhosyn, gyda’i synnwyr busnes barn, wedi bod y clustiau i'r si a’r digwyddiadau.
    En: Rhosyn, with her sharp business sense, had been all ears to the gossip and the happenings.

    Cy: Noson Calan Gaeaf, gydag awyr tywyll fel sefyllfa.
    En: Calan Gaeaf night, with a dark sky like a tableau.

    Cy: Daeth hwyl osgordd blwcwr a llusernau dynion at eu gilydd.
    En: There was a flow of dockworkers and men's lanterns coming together.

    Cy: Wrth fynd at ei le, yr oedd y gwrthrych mewn gwirionedd arteg hen hanes – gyda marciau dirgel wedi’u cyfleu ar ei orchudd.
    En: Upon their arrival, the object was indeed an artifact of old history - with mysterious markings inscribed on its cover.

    Cy: Gwnaeth hyn cwestiynau newydd yn ei dro, cwestiynau o fel, pan a pham ei bod yn cyrraedd yma.
    En: This led to new questions in turn, questions of how, when, and why it arrived here.

    Cy: Ffrwydrodd trafodaeth yn ei gorau ymysg y cydymdeimlad, gyda straeon Rhosyn yn symbylu cyfrinachedd eu cyfarfyddiad.
    En: Discussion exploded at its best among the crowd, with Rhosyn's stories inspiring the secrecy of their encounter.

    Cy: Haerai Gethin hon eto, ond o'r diwedd, byddai'n derbyn yr anrhydedd a haerwyd am ei sgiliau ac ymchwil.
    En: Gethin boasted once more, but ultimately, he would receive the honor claimed for his skills and research.

    Cy: Ddaru Eira yn sylweddoli, bod cyfle i uno hanes a’r dylluan er mwyn gosod rhywbeth yn symud i ddyfodol.
    En: Eira realized there was an opportunity to merge history and science to set something in motion for the future.

    Cy: Mae'r gymuned wedi mabwysiadu thema newydd wedi rhannu straeon ac wedi tynnu gwres o eu cofiant.
    En: The community had adopted a new theme, sharing stories and drawing warmth from their memories.

    Cy: Mae ardaith Eira wedi bod yn cyfoethogi ei hyder, wedi gwrthod iddo’i hun wrth iddynt ddarganfod hen neges cryptig wedi'i ynghudd – cyfrinach wedi gwthio plant i mewn i newydd, ddeunydd gwerthfawr i'w maes ymdocciau.
    En: Eira's journey had enriched her confidence, had denied to herself as they discovered an old cryptic message hidden - a secret that pushed children into a new, valuable material for their study fields.

    Cy: Wedi i lawer o wagedd a chaws rhaid: “Pan fyddwn ni i gyd at ei gilydd, rydym yn cael ei gilydd yn well,” meddyliodd Eira wrth orymdeithio gyda phulleith.
    En: After much ado and cheese must: “When we all come together, we find each other better,” thought Eira while parading with delight.

    Cy: Enillydd y teulu - roedd cynysgaeth newydd i mwynhau ar gyfer Marina Abertawe.
    En: A new endowment was to be enjoyed for Marina Abertawe.

    En: Rhiannon was a thoughtful person, and she considered everything deeply, feeling that everything she said was important.

    En: Evan was passionate, with an easy laugh, but there seemed to be some excitement in their companionship.

    Cy: Roedd hi eisiau gwybod a oedd eu cysylltiad cychwynnol yn wir.

    Cy: Fel naws swynol y tymor, cynigiodd Rhiannon fynd i'r corn maze gyda Evan.

    En: Rhiannon's heart started to feel a bit slower, relaxed by the sound of dry leaves underfoot.

    Cy: Wrth droi cornel yn y ffigwr hwnnw, deallodd Rhiannon y gallai Evan fod yn rhywun dibynadwy.

    En: Even though the atmosphere had been filled with Halloween frights, their newfound friendship connection felt clear and open.

    Cy: Roedd Rhiannon yn gwybod na fyddai ofn byth yn ei rhwystro rhag ymddiried mwyach.
    En: Rhiannon knew that fear would never prevent her from trusting again.

    Cy: Roedd wedi dysgu bod y foment yn bwysicach na chyflawnder perffaith.
    En: She had learned that the moment was more important than perfect completeness.

    Story Transcript:

    Cy: Yr oedd awyrgylch crasboeth ac oerni Hydrefol yn llenwi'r awyr wrth i Eira a Gareth gychwyn ar daith eu bywyd.
    En: The atmosphere of scorching heat and autumnal chill filled the air as Eira and Gareth embarked on the journey of their lives.

    Cy: Yr oedd y ddau yn eistedd mewn car bach, llawn cerrig a dail melynion, gan deithio trwy dirwedd anhygoel Eryri.
    En: The two were sitting in a small car, full of stones and yellow leaves, traveling through the incredible landscape of Eryri.

    Cy: Roedd eu teithiau drosodd drwy bentrefi bychain, addurnedig â chalonau dynol mewn ffenestri a phwmpenni’n gwenu’n wên ar hyd y llwybrau gefeillio.
    En: Their travels took them through small villages, adorned with human hearts in windows and pumpkins smiling along the twinned paths.

    Cy: Eira, gyda mapiau wedi’u trefnu’n ofalus wrth ei ochr, roedd yn gwybod lle bob cilometr ymlaen.
    En: Eira, with maps carefully arranged by her side, knew the location of every kilometer ahead.

    Cy: "Mae rhaid i ni fynd i’r lle cywir," meddai, ei llais yn llawn penderfyniad.
    En: "We have to go to the right place," she said, her voice full of determination.

    Cy: Roedd gan ei thad hoff fan ar gopa Mynyddion Eryri, lle roedd bob amser yn stopio ac yn edrych draw at ddau o'r llynnoedd hyfrytaf.
    En: Her father had a favorite spot on the summit of the Eryri Mountains, where he always stopped and looked over two of the loveliest lakes.

    Cy: Heddiw, dyma lle bydden nhw'n gwasgaru'i lwch.
    En: Today, this is where they would scatter his ashes.

    Cy: Ond Gareth, bellach, roedd wedi ei fygwth gan yr atgofau aflonydd bu’n cymryd rhan gyda’u tad. "Dylai pethau fod yn wahanol," chwythodd yntau drwy’i ddannedd.
    En: But Gareth, now plagued by unsettling memories of times he'd spent with their father, said, "Things should have been different," through gritted teeth.

    Cy: Roedd yr ymdeimlad o bechod yn ei frifo’n ddifrifol; herfa bob cam y ffordd.
    En: The sense of guilt was severely wounding him; a challenge every step of the way.

    Cy: Gwrthododd Eira adael y tensiwn eu cysylltiad niweidio’r nod a roedden nhw am gyflawni.
    En: Eira refused to let the tension in their relationship harm the goal they wanted to achieve.

    Cy: "Mae'n bwysig ein bod ni'n gwneud hyn," dywedodd yn dyner.
    En: "It's important that we do this," she said gently.

    Cy: Roedd y ffordd yn troi oddi ar y prif lwybr, gan ddod â nhw wyneb yn wyneb gyda’r rhugyl ym mhobman, y coed yn dawnsio mewn cynnwrf euraid o'u cwmpas.
    En: The road turned off the main path, bringing them face to face with the heather everywhere, the trees dancing in a golden frenzy around them.

    Cy: Yna, fel gelyn yr oeddent wedi’i anwybyddu, torrodd yn glir car y teulu.
    En: Then, like an ignored enemy, the family car broke down.

    Cy: Dim trydan. Dim erthyglau ar eu ffordd bellach.
    En: No power. No articles on their way anymore.

    Cy: Roedd Gareth yn rhuthro allan, yn manteisio ar gyfleoedd i gael gwared ar ei boen, wrth ei chwaer a alwodd am gymorth gan unrhyw un fyddai'n pasio.
    En: Gareth rushed out, seizing opportunities to rid himself of his pain, while his sister called for assistance from anyone passing by.

    Cy: Ond yr oedd Gareth eisiau cymryd mantais o’r munud tawel, cael sgwrs gyda’i chwaer.
    En: But Gareth wanted to take advantage of the quiet moment to have a conversation with his sister.

    Cy: "Wyt ti'n meddwl am amseroedd gwael yn unig?" gofynnodd Gareth, ei lygaid yn dwfn a phell.
    En: "Do you only think of bad times?" Gareth asked, his eyes deep and distant.

    Cy: "Dw i ddim wedi anghofio," atebodd Eira, "ond rhaid i ni hefyd gofio’r amseroedd da."
    En: "I haven't forgotten," replied Eira, "but we must also remember the good times."

    Cy: Tra'r ddaear yn dynn o dan eu traed, daeth y ddau i ddeall fod y man penodol llai o bwys nag efe rywle, lle roeddent yn gallu rhannu eu gofidiau a'u llawenydd.
    En: While the ground held tight beneath their feet, the two came to understand that the specific spot was less important than being somewhere where they could share their sorrows and joys.

    Cy: Trwy sŵn y dail yn symud, daethant i bendant: byddent yn dewis lle hardd gerllaw. Lle a oedd yn llefaru o'r llawen ac o'r chwerw tuag atynt.
    En: Through the sound of the moving leaves, they came to a conclusion: they would choose a beautiful nearby location, which spoke both joy and bitterness to them.

    Cy: "Hyn fydd y lle," dywedodd Gareth yn dawel, gyda thwf gobaith.
    En: "This will be the place," Gareth said quietly, with a growing sense of hope.

    Cy: Ar ben bryn bach, daeth cyfle i’r ddau wared ar lwch eu tad.
    En: At the top of a small hill, the two found an opportunity to let go of their father's ashes.

    Cy: Gwnaethon nhw hi’n ei ffordd: nid yn berffaith, ond eiliad o gyfeillgarwch a rhyddhad.
    En: They did it in their own way: not perfectly, but as a moment of camaraderie and relief.

    Cy: Roedd Eira wedi dysgu rhywbeth gwerthfawr.
    En: Eira had learned something valuable.

    Cy: Nid oedd popeth angen bod yn ôl cynllun strwythuredig.
    En: Not everything needed to be according to a structured plan.

    Cy: Dyw Gareth, yn ei dro, wedi cael cyfle i symud ymlaen o’i bechn.
    En: Gareth, in turn, had the chance to move on from his guilt.

    Cy: Roeddent ill dau yn hŷn o’r profiad, yn addaw dim mwy na'r teimlad braf o adael llonydd lle roedd angen.
    En: They both grew older from the experience, promising nothing more than the pleasant feeling of leaving stillness where it was needed.

    Cy: A dyna fel y gorffennodd daith arddangosus, llawn deimladau tywyll a calonau symudol, yn adeiladu newydd ystyr o gartref mewn alawon Eryri.
    En: And so ended an eventful journey, full of dark emotions and moving hearts, building a new sense of home in the melodies of Eryri.

    Cy: Roedd y cwmwl difaru yn codi, yn rhoi ffordd i aelwydydd newydd o ddealltwriaeth a maddeuant.
    En: The cloud of regret lifted, giving way to new hearths of understanding and forgiveness.
