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.
