En: In the main town of Caerdydd, Castell Caerdydd stands tall, its towers rising like a historical timeline over the city. Cy: O dan y tyllau bygythiol a chysgodau codiog, mae Geraint yn sefyll gyda Cerys a Rhys. En: Under the looming arches and shadowed heights, Geraint stands with Cerys and Rhys. Cy: Mae'r haul haf yn taflu goleuni meddal dros y gerddi llawn blodau a'r waliau cerrig. En: The summer sun casts a soft light over the flower-filled gardens and stone walls. Cy: Roedd Geraint yn dra farddonol am gyfrinachau canoloesol. En: Geraint was quite poetic about medieval secrets. Cy: Roedd ei lygaid yn disgleirio wrth iddo sôn â Cerys am arteffact chwedlonol a grewyd ar ei ddychymyg. En: His eyes sparkled as he spoke to Cerys about a legendary artifact created in his imagination. Cy: "Mae'n rhaid ei bod hi yma, rhywle," meddai Geraint, gan symud ei lygaid yn lwyr tuag at y cyfleu o dŵr y castell. En: "It has to be here, somewhere," said Geraint, turning his eyes fully towards the depiction of the castle tower. Cy: Ond roedd Cerys yn fwy eithafol. En: But Cerys was more cautious. Cy: "Yr hyn sy'n bwysig yw bod ni'n ofalus. Rhaid i ni wybod pwy i ymddiried ynddo," a rhybuddiodd, ei llais yn ei gwneud hi'n amlwg nad oedd hi'n hoff o Rhys. En: "What’s important is that we're careful. We must know whom to trust," she warned, her voice making it clear that she did not favor Rhys. Cy: Roedd Rhys yn ddrych annibynadwy, ond ei glwstiau cryptig oedd yr unig allwedd. En: Rhys was an unreliable mirror, but his cryptic clues were the only key. Cy: "Byddwch yn ofalus i ddilyn y llwybr pan fo’r haul yn dwyn cysgodion hir," dyna neges Rhys. En: "Be careful to follow the path when the sun casts long shadows," was Rhys's message. Cy: Roedd y cyfarwyddiadau yn codi cur pen. En: The instructions provoked a headache. Cy: Cofleidiodd Geraint yr her, er gwaethaf gwg Cerys. En: Geraint embraced the challenge, despite Cerys's frown. Cy: Wrth iddyn nhw symud i mewn i’r castell, muriau tawel oedd cyn-filwyr y gorffennol, gyda sŵn adar y aeron yn drydar fel cerddoriaeth i'w ôl traed gosgar. En: As they moved into the castle, the silent walls were veterans of the past, with the sound of the berry birds chirping like music to their eager footsteps. Cy: Roedd rhannau o’r castell yn gael gweithio i’r cyhoedd, ond nid oedd hynny'n atal Geraint. En: Parts of the castle were open to the public, but that didn't stop Geraint. Cy: Ym meddyliau Geraint, gwêl ddarlun o'r arteffact. En: In Geraint's mind, an image of the artifact formed. Cy: Roedd adroddiadau yw fod arteffact gyda phwerau hud, a gd oedd hyn yn wir, roedd yn werth mwy na unrhyw ganmol. En: Reports claimed the artifact had magical powers, and if this was true, it was worth more than any praise. Cy: “Mae ansicrwydd gennym ni,” dywedodd Cerys yn ei ffordd bendant. En: “We have uncertainty,” said Cerys in her firm manner. Cy: “Gofynnaf arall gall achosi problemau i ni.” En: “Asking more questions could cause problems for us.” Cy: Yn araf, fe'u harweiniodd Rhys i lawr stryd gefn troellog y castell. En: Slowly, Rhys led them down a winding alley of the castle. Cy: Pan gyrhaeddodd y drws arian gyda phatrwm allwedd aneglur, roedd gwefr yn llawn awyr. En: When they reached the silver door with its unclear key pattern, the excitement filled the air. Cy: Aeth Geraint i gyflwyno'r allwedd sydd wedi ei chwilio a'i chael, a chliciwch, fe agorodd y drws. En: Geraint went to present the key that had been sought and found, and with a click, the door opened. Cy: Tu ôl i'r drws, roedd siambr wedi'i gylchynu gan garreg a bywyd. En: Behind the door, there was a chamber surrounded by stone and life. Cy: Roedd Geraint yn dal ei anadl - roedd hyn yn siŵr o fod y lle chwedlonol, cefnlen o secrets a hanes. En: Geraint held his breath—it was surely the legendary place, a backdrop of secrets and history. Cy: Ond yna, roedd gweld yr arteffact yr un mor frawychus â'i stori. En: But then, seeing the artifact was as frightening as its story. Cy: Roedd crychau ar wyneb, gyda glow nodedig o lywodraeth sy'n cynnau eu neuaddau â dylanwad. En: There were wrinkles on the surface, with a distinctive glow of governance that lights their halls with influence. Cy: Ond yn ôl y cynllwyniau, fe newidiodd Geraint ei feddwl. En: But in light of the schemes, Geraint changed his mind. Cy: Dadffurfiwyd deall yr enghraifft, roedd arno ofn codi problemau a allai gwmpasu. En: Misunderstanding the artifact, he feared causing problems that might arise. Cy: “Rhaid i mi beidio â’i wneud ddim, mae hanes yn ddiogelach pan mae’n segur,” meddai'n benderfynol. En: “I must not do it, history is safer when it
