En: On the fresh autumn breeze, in the midst of the brown trees near the Arophwll Castell Coch, three unlikely friends begin a special adventure. Cy: Roedd yna Gareth, sy'n teimlo atgasedd at ganrifoedd o hanes, gyda golwg penodol at gelfyddyd Gothig. En: There was Gareth, who held an aversion to centuries of history, with a particular interest in Gothic art. Cy: Wrth ei ochr roedd Efa, hanesydd celf ddadleuol sydd wedi clywed llawer o chwedlau, ond yn aml yn amheus ynghylch eu gwirionedd. En: Beside him was Efa, a controversial art historian who had heard many legends, but often doubted their truth. Cy: Rhys, y tywysydd castell, oedd fel cyfeillion cartref iddynt yno; roedd yn byw am ddydd pan fyddai'n dod o hyd i arteffact hanesyddol. En: Rhys, the castle guide, was like a hometown friend to them there; he lived for the day he would find a historical artifact. Cy: “Mae’n amser gwneud rhywbeth eithriadol,” meddai Gareth, gyda'i gyffro yn codi uwch ei lais, "Mae sôn am furlun anghyffredin." En: “It’s time to do something extraordinary,” said Gareth, his excitement rising above his voice, “There is talk of an unusual mural.” Cy: "Mae'n anodd credu chwedl," atebodd Efa, yn ymestyn ei breichiau i’r tŵr. “Ond mae’n werth archwilio.” En: "It's hard to believe a legend," responded Efa, stretching her arms toward the tower. “But it’s worth exploring.” Cy: Ysgerbwd y castell oedd yn ymddangos o lygad Rhys fel lle sy’n cuddio dirgelion. En: The castle's skeleton appeared to Rhys as a place hiding secrets. Cy: Roedd wedi breuddwydio cyfnewid ei stiwardiaeth y dyddiadur am enw yn llyfrau hanes. En: He had dreamed of exchanging his diary of stewardship for a name in the history books. Cy: O dan fflachlampau’r nos, croeswyd y troserem diafol i’r cynteddau cuddiedig. En: Under the night’s flashlights, they crossed the devil’s staircase to the hidden hallways. Cy: Defnyddiodd Rhys ei allweddi arbennig i agor drws sigraff nad oedd fyth agor i'r cyhoedd. En: Rhys used his special keys to open a secret door that was never open to the public. Cy: Roedd Efa, yn dechrau teimlo'r tensiwn rhyfeddol, yn edrych o gwmpas gyda chwilfrydedd. En: Efa, beginning to feel the remarkable tension, looked around with curiosity. Cy: Mae Gareth yn cyfeirio at y weledigaeth, "Dros y cornel yno," dywedodd wrth Rhys, nodio gyda hyder yng nghyfarwyddiadau hen lawysgrif Gymraeg a ddarllennodd amron ddegawd o'r blaen. En: Gareth directed them to the vision, “Around that corner,” he told Rhys, nodding with confidence at the directions from an old Welsh manuscript he read almost a decade ago. Cy: O flaen eu llygaid, y lle dirgel wedi'i selio am gannoedd o flynyddoedd. En: Before their eyes, the secret place had been sealed for hundreds of years. Cy: Agorodd Efa y flashlight a’i lleoliad yn y wal. En: Efa opened the flashlight and its beam illuminated the wall. Cy: Yno, ysgafn cafn yn dangos darlun gwyro o chwedl Gymreig. En: There, a faint basin revealed a leaning depiction of a Welsh legend. Cy: Traeth roedd yn dangos cyfrinhau'r Ddraig a'r Gwalch. En: It showed the enchantment of the Dragon and the Hawk. Cy: Golygfa anhygoel. En: An incredible sight. Cy: “Bendigedig!” gwichiodd Rhys gan guro’r wal yn...
