Story Transcript:
Cy: Ar fore braf o Ionawr, roedd Santorini yn edrych fel byd o freuddwydion Gaeafol.
En: On a fine January morning, Santorini looked like a world of winter dreams.
Cy: Roedd goleuadau'r Nadolig yn sgleinio ar adeiladau gwyn, yn cysgu'n dawel ar fryniau serth yr ynys.
En: The Christmas lights sparkled on white buildings, quietly resting on the steep hills of the island.
Cy: Roedd yr awyr yn glir, a'r môr yn ogystal.
En: The sky was clear, and so was the sea.
Cy: Ond tua chornel cysgodol o'r ynys, roedd tŷ newydd broblem ofnadwy.
En: But in a sheltered corner of the island, a new house had a terrible problem.
Cy: Roedd amgueddfa Santorini, sy'n adnabyddus am ei drysorau hynafol, wedi dioddef colled mawr.
En: The museum of Santorini, known for its ancient treasures, had suffered a great loss.
Cy: Roedd polisi'r ynys yn bryderus, ond doedd dim cliwiau pendant am fudd-daliadau'r arteffact gwerthfawr.
En: The island's authorities were concerned, but there were no definite clues about the benefits of the valuable artifact.
Cy: Yn ei chanol hi, roedd enw Gareth yn cael ei sibrwd yn unig am un peth: y diddordeb hofflyweddol mewn relicau hynafol.
En: In the midst of it all, Gareth's name was whispered for one reason: a curious interest in ancient relics.
Cy: Diwrnod arall, tra’r oedd e'n crwydro'r strydoedd cul, daeth Gareth ar draws Rhiannon.
En: Another day, while he was wandering the narrow streets, Gareth came across Rhiannon.
Cy: Roedd pawb yn nabod Rhiannon fel hanesydd lleol gwybodus.
En: Everyone knew Rhiannon as a knowledgeable local historian.
Cy: Roedd ganddi bopeth ar gyfer ymchwilio i'r dirgelwch, ond roedd ei greddf ei bod yn gwybod bod rhywbeth yn drewi.
En: She had everything needed to investigate the mystery, yet her instinct told her something was amiss.
Cy: Cafwyd edrych geiriau am funud, yna dywedodd Gareth, "Rhaid gydweithio," gyda phenderfyniad yn ei llais.
En: They exchanged glances for a minute, then Gareth said, "We must collaborate," with determination in his voice.
Cy: Rhywbeth o'r fath oedd yr eiliadau hynny - doedd Rhiannon ddim yn ymddiried yn rhwydd.
En: That's how those moments were—Rhiannon didn't trust easily.
Cy: Ond roedd dognau eu profiad gyda’i gilydd yn unan niwliedig.
En: But their shared experience created a foggy unity.
Cy: Felly, dechreuodd y ddau weithio wrth ddyfeisio llygedyn o gyfuniad newydd.
En: So, the two began working on devising a spark of a new combination.
Cy: Roedd eu hymchwiliad yn eu harwain trwy ogofeydd a ffyrdd cyfrinachol, o'r ffordd siopau twristiaid.
En: Their investigation led them through caves and secret pathways, away from the tourist shop paths.
Cy: Rhoddodd gwybodaeth Rhiannon am y lle cyfle i Gareth ddatrys posau hynod.
En: Rhiannon's knowledge of the area gave Gareth the chance to solve unusual puzzles.
Cy: Parhaodd yr ymgyrch am wythnosau—yn ddiderfyn.
En: The campaign continued for weeks—indefinitely.
Cy: Mewn ymladd sydyn, cyrhaeddon nhw siambr gudd o dan y gweithfannau anarferol.
En: In a sudden struggle, they reached a hidden chamber under the unconventional workplaces.
Cy: Hedfanuss, roedd yr arteffact ar y bwrdd marbel o'u blaenau.
En: Amazingly, the artifact was on the marble table before them.
Cy: Ond doedd dim amser i lawenhau.
En: But there was no time to rejoice.
Cy: Yma llwyddodd lleidr annisgwyl i’w dal.
En: An unexpected thief managed to catch them.
Cy: Yn erbyn pob tebygolrwydd, fe wnaethant gydweithio eto i ddianc.
En: Against all odds, they cooperated again to escape.
Cy: Aethon nhw ymlaen i bensaer eu cynllun.
En: They proceeded to architect their plan.
Cy: Grwynodd Gareth y bachul o Nadolig annigonol.
En: Gareth sighed at the thought of an incomplete Christmas.
Cy: Teimlai am y tro cyntaf lawer o bethau.
En: For the first time, he felt many things.
Cy: Roedd crookedly yn cyfeirio athew, ond roedd hefyd yn werthfawrogi'n ddiysgog cymaint ydy treftadaeth ddiwylliannol.
En: He was crookedly referencing himself, but he also unwaveringly appreciated how much cultural heritage matters.
Cy: A dychwelodd Rhiannon yn gwybod ei bod hi wedi gweithio gyda rhywun y gallai ymddiried ynddo o'r diwedd, gan sylweddoli hefyd mai gwerth dydi cydweithiad yw achub iaith.
En: And Rhiannon returned knowing she had finally worked with someone she could trust, realizing also that the worth of collaboration is language preservation.
Cy: Roedd y ddau’n cerdded i mewn i'r mwsgfa, gan gwblhau eu gwaith.
En: The two walked into the museum, completing their work.
Cy: Roedd y lleoliad yn llawn si-a a gwir barchedig at resymau'r amserau.
En: The setting was full of chatter and genuine reverence for the reasons of the times.
Cy: Roedd yr arteffact yn ddiogel eto.
En: The artifact was safe again.
Cy: Roedd pawb yn fflat â pheth olew cariad rhwng bendithion gyaethis.
En: Everyone was impressed, with a blend of love and respect between mutual blessings.
Cy: Yn stori hon, roedd cyfle i wir gwrdd.
En: In this story, there was a chance to truly meet.
Cy: Roedd y pherthynas a'r cariad tuag at yr hyn a oedd yno yn fodd i ddal, a phenderfyniad go iawn yr oedd yn newydd.
En: The relationship and love towards what was there became a means to endure, and a true determination that was new.
Cy: Roedd Santorini erbyn hyn yn werin llachar, roedd llonyddwch Gaeaf arall wedi diflannu wrth i'r enaid ocsideiddio ysgol o wydnwch meddigol.
En: Santorini was now a bright republic, the stillness of another Winter had vanished as the soul oxidized a ladder of medical endurance.
