Gareth asked, looking around warily.Cy: "Fel hyn mae bob tro, Gareth," atebodd Emyr ymlaen, "Ni yw ein lleisiau ein hunain."En: "It's always like this, Gareth," Emyr replied confidently, "We are our own voices."Cy: Roeddent yn rhodio’n araf drwy’r niwl, troedio'u ffordd trwy lwybrau cudd, disgwyl am bryd iddi glirio.En: They walked slowly through the mist, treading their way through hidden paths, waiting for the time to clear.Cy: Pob cam yn ffordd i'r anobaith gau, ond er hynny yn ffordd i ddod o hyd i baent y daith.En: Each step was a way to enclose despair, yet a way to find the paint of the journey.Cy: Ond aeth y tywydd yn waeth.En: But the weather worsened.Cy: Cafodd y niwl ei ychwanegu â chwythennau gwynt oer, yn rhoi her ychwanegol i'r tri.En: The mist was joined by cold gusts of wind, adding extra challenge for the three.Cy: Dechreuodd Megan iadael don fechan o ansicrwydd: "Efallai ddylem droi am adref."En: Megan began to let out small waves of uncertainty: "Maybe we should turn back home."Cy: Ond roedd llygaid Emyr yn aros i leddfu ei ddychymyg: "Rydym bron yno," dywedodd, "cyffyrddwn â'r chwedl."En: But Emyr's eyes remained fixed to ease his imagination: "We're almost there," he said, "we touch the legend."Cy: Roedd yr oriau wedi ymestyn fel y tir o'u blaen.En: The hours stretched out like the land before them.Cy: Yn dyrnu ar hyd sbriwiau, o'r diwedd, wrth iddi i'w glirio, daethant ynghyd â'r ffynnon.En: Trudging along the ridges, finally, as it cleared, they reached the well.Cy: Roedd y ddŵr yn llachar, fel petai ganddi ei hysbryd ei hun.En: The water was bright, as if it had its own spirit.Cy: Roedd y niwl yn cilio, ac Emyr yn gwybod ei fod wedi gwneud y gwahaniaeth.En: The mist receded, and Emyr knew he'd made the difference.Cy: Yn ôl adref, roedd Emyr yn cerdded gyda phwysau newydd ar ei ysgwyddau—pwysau tawel ac urddas teuluol.En: Back home, Emyr walked with a new weight on his shoulders—a quiet weight and familial dignity.Cy: Ers hynny, roedd yn gwybod nid yn unig yr arweiniai ffynnon dŵr i lifo drwy'r tir, ond hefyd drwodd ef ei hun—yn ffurfio bont o'u gorffennol i'w ddyrchafu'n fyw gyda dogn o ffydd newydd mewn ei gynefin.En: Since then, he knew not only did the wellspring lead water to flow through the land, but also through himself—forming a bridge from their past to elevate it alive with a portion of new faith in his dwelling.
