Cy: Mae'n Hydref, ac mae awyr y wlad yn glir, ond mae cymylau tywyll yn mân ar y gorwel. En: It's October, and the country sky is clear, but dark clouds are faint on the horizon. Cy: Mae Gareth yn sefyll ar ei ben ei hun, wrth fyrddio'r bws. En: Gareth stands alone as he boards the bus. Cy: Mae ei linell gellyg o fflach oedd ar ei freichiau, felly mae'n cyffwrdd â'i freichiau, ond mae'n llygaid yn frwdfrydig. En: His coat of pearly flashes was on his arms, so he touches his arms, but his eyes are enthusiastic. Cy: "Ydych chi'n barod, Gareth? En: "Are you ready, Gareth?" Cy: " gofynnodd Rhian, oedd yn sefyll gerllaw. En: asked Rhian, who was standing nearby. Cy: "Ydw," atebodd Gareth yn dawel, cyn troi i lawr i edrych ar ei esgidiau. En: "I am," Gareth answered quietly, before turning down to look at his shoes. Cy: Roedd ei feddwl wedi'i hameilio ar stori newydd am fytholiaeth yr Wyddfa. En: His mind was anchored on a new story about the mythology of yr Wyddfa. Cy: Aeth y bws ymlaen, a chawsant eu cymryd i dir y bryniau enfawr, gyda'r coed yn llawn dail aur ac amber o'u cwmpas. En: The bus moved on, and they were taken to the land of the massive hills, with trees full of golden and amber leaves surrounding them. Cy: Roedd teimlad o dirgelwch yn yr awyr, fel pe bai eu taith yn mynd i ddatgelu cyfrinachau cuddiedig y mynyddoedd. En: There was a feeling of mystery in the air, as if their journey was going to reveal the hidden secrets of the mountains. Cy: Unwaith y cawsant eu hiedi i'r maes parcio, fe greodd y tywydd yn gyflym. En: Once they were led to the parking area, the weather quickly changed. Cy: Fe chrwydrodd glaw mân ar y llethrau. En: Fine rain roamed the slopes. Cy: Dyma'r adeg y gwelodd Gareth gyfle prin: mynediad i lwybr llai adnabyddus a gydnabyddwyd gan ychydig wylwyr yn unig. En: This was the moment Gareth saw a rare opportunity: access to a lesser-known path recognized by few watchers. Cy: "Peidiwch â symud i ffwrdd ormod," rhybuddiodd athro. En: "Don't wander off too far," warned a teacher. Cy: Ond roedd Gareth yn teimlo tyniad. En: But Gareth felt a tug. Cy: Synisiodd am funud, ond roedd y rhuo hwnnw yn ei galon yn ei wthio ymlaen. En: He hesitated for a moment, but that roaring in his heart pushed him forward. Cy: Fe ddechreuodd gamu'n ofalus ar hyd y llwybr ceudwllus. En: He began to step carefully along the winding path. Cy: Roedd ei galon yn curo'n gyflym wrth iddo graffu oddi ar gwmpas ei draed. En: His heart was beating quickly as he looked around his feet. Cy: Yn fuan ar ol, roedd y glaw yn trymhau, ond dal i symud ymlaen a wnaeth Gareth nes iddo ffeindio disaith dinod bach o flaen ogof cel. En: Soon after, the rain intensified, but Gareth continued to move forward until he found a small, inconspicuous clearing in front of a hidden cave. Cy: Roedd ogof Rhigolig, y lle a sônwyd yn y chwedlau. En: It was Ogof Rhigolig, the place mentioned in the legends. Cy: Teimlodd lychio yn ei asgwrn cefn wrth iddo caramu am adeg. En: A shiver ran down his spine as he paused for a moment. Cy: "I fynd mewn neu i beidio? En: "To go in or not to go?" Cy: " meddyliai, gan deimlo'r ŵr a'r danlota o gyffro.

Cy: Mentrodd i mewn, am funud yn unig, nes iddo weld golwg eithriadol: cerrig ar ffurf rhyfeddol, yn union fel un o'r arteffactau yn llyfrau'r chwedlau.
