En: Castell Coch was the perfect place for a visit by Aeron and Carys. Cy: Roedd y draig goch, symudol fel yr hydref ei hun, wedi golchi'r bryniau mewn lliwiau o felyn, oren a choch, yn osgoi'r coedlog wrth sŵn prysur y dail dan draed. En: The red dragon, as lively as autumn itself, had washed the hills in hues of yellow, orange, and red, evading the woodland to the busy sound of leaves underfoot. Cy: Roedd y castell yn llawn hanes, yn dwyn i feddwl chwedlau'r Tylwyth Teg. En: The castle was full of history, reminiscent of the tales of the Tylwyth Teg. Cy: Roedd Aeron wedi cadw ei deimladau ynghylch yr etifeddiaeth yn gudd am amser maith. En: Aeron had kept his feelings about the inheritance hidden for a long time. Cy: 'Roedd gafael ar yr heirloom teuluol, dwsin braf deg y cant o'i deulu cyfan. Roedd arno eisiau dod a'r eitem werthfawr i'w gartref er mwyn codi ei hyder ei hun — i brofi ei fod yn werth yr un faint â'i frodyr a'i chwiorydd llwyddiannus. En: Holding onto the family heirloom—an impressive dozen worth ten percent of his entire family—he wanted to bring the valuable item to his home to boost his own confidence, to prove he was worth the same as his successful brothers and sisters. Cy: Ond, roedd Carys, ei chwaer, yn ddynes o gyfrifoldebau teuluol. En: But Carys, his sister, was a woman of family responsibilities. Cy: Roedd hi bob amser wedi cymeradwyo'r traddodiad, lle roedd yr etifeddiaeth yn cael ei rhannu rhwng y plant hynaf. En: She had always endorsed the tradition, where the inheritance was divided among the eldest children. Cy: Roedd hi'n parchu'r heirloom, nid dim ond am ei werth materol, ond am y symbolaeth roedd yn ei gario fel pont rhwng cenedlaethau. En: She respected the heirloom, not just for its material value, but for the symbolism it carried as a bridge between generations. Cy: "Roedd rhaid i ni siarad, Carys," meddai Aeron, ei lais yn drwch o benderfyniad, tra oedden nhw'n sefyll o flaen muriau'r castell. En: "We need to talk, Carys," said Aeron, his voice thick with determination, as they stood before the castle walls. Cy: "Mae'r heirloom mor bwysig i mi. Byddai'n symbol o fy llwyddiant a fy ngwaith caled." En: "The heirloom is so important to me. It would be a symbol of my success and hard work." Cy: Cododd Carys ei dwylo, tawel ond cadarn. En: Carys raised her hands, calm but firm. Cy: "Aeron, dwi'n deall pa mor bwysig yw hyn i ti. Ond mae'r traddodiad hwn yn goleuni'r teulu. Sut allwn ni ei dorri?" En: "Aeron, I understand how important this is to you. But this tradition is the light of the family. How can we break it?" Cy: Roedd y ddadl yn parhau, yn codi i lefelau uchel, gan atseinio trwy'r neuaddau carreg fel rhuo gwynt trwy newydd y coed. En: The argument continued, rising to high levels, echoing through the stone halls like the roar of wind through new leaves. Cy: Yn eu calonnau, roedd y ddau yn gwybod pa mor ddwys oedd y drafodaeth hon ac yn dymuno dod o hyd i dir canol. En: In their hearts, both knew how deep this discussion was and wished to find common ground. Cy: Yn y diwedd, daeth Carys at Aeron ar draws y cilfan yn y castell. En: In the end, Carys approached Aeron across the alcove in the castle. Cy: Gafaelodd yn y ffenestr ganddi'r golwg o'r coetir derw oddi tanynt. En: She grasped the...
