Story Transcript:
Cy: Roedd yr ysgol yn sefyll fel cerflun adfeiliedig yn nhyblygiad yr eira, ynys unig mewn byd distaw.
En: The school stood like a crumbling statue in the drift of the snow, a lonely island in a silent world.
Cy: Roedd ei ffenestri yn gwegian o ddiffyg gwydr; roedd ysgubau o eira yn diflannu ar draws yr ystafelloedd tywyll.
En: Its windows creaked for lack of glass; drifts of snow vanished across the dark rooms.
Cy: O fewn y muriau, roedd tywyllwch yn tywyllu gyda pha straeon o chwerthin plant oedd bellach yn ddim ond atgofion.
En: Within the walls, darkness deepened with what were once stories of children's laughter, now only memories.
Cy: Emyr oedd arweinydd y grŵp byd ar ôl.
En: Emyr was the leader of the group left behind.
Cy: Ers hir, roeddent yn dibynnu ar yr archfarchnad agosaf am fwyd.
En: They had long relied on the nearest grocery store for food.
Cy: Ond rŵan roedd y silffoedd gwag, gardd badfiled.
En: But now the shelves were empty, a barren garden.
Cy: Roedd Carys a Rhys bob amser yno i'w helpu, gan greu cynlluniau newydd wrth drafftiau newydd yr oerfel.
En: Carys and Rhys were always there to help him, crafting new plans against the drafts of cold.
Cy: "Rhaid i ni symud ymlaen," meddai Emyr, yn edrych ar wynebau ôl-adlewyrchol Carys a Rhys.
En: "We must move on," said Emyr, looking at the reflective faces of Carys and Rhys.
Cy: "Mae cryn dipyn o sôn am ddinas sydd â chyflenwadau nad oes neb wedi eu cael eto."
En: "There's a lot of talk about a city that has supplies no one has yet reached."
Cy: Mae Rhys yn codi ei lygaid, gwen fach ar ei wefusau.
En: Rhys lifted his eyes, a small smile on his lips.
Cy: "Rwy'n barod am antur," meddai'n fyrbwyll.
En: "I'm ready for an adventure," he said rashly.
Cy: Roedd eu penderfyniad yn galed ond yn angenrheidiol.
En: Their decision was hard but necessary.
Cy: Mae'r gaeafau'r cyfnewidfa hon yn llym.
En: The winters of this exchange were harsh.
Cy: Allan ar y ffordd, ni roddodd y tywydd gydymdeimlad o gwbl.
En: Out on the road, the weather showed no compassion at all.
Cy: Rhewllyd a merleisiog, roedd y gwynt yn addo storm annify fyr.
En: Frosty and relentless, the wind promised an unyielding storm.
Cy: Wrth gymylu'r ddinas a nodwyd ar eu map, roedd y traed yn ddrwm ac yn gylchwydd gan aeafau eira sydd wedi lludwio yn llwyr.
En: As they neared the city marked on their map, their feet were heavy and encumbered by winters of snow that had entirely shrouded them.
Cy: Yn annisgwyl, roedd yna eraill.
En: Unexpectedly, there were others.
Cy: Roedd grŵp o helwyr yn eu hamgylchynu, anadliadau'n codi'n gyflym.
En: A group of hunters surrounded them, breaths quickening.
Cy: "Beth sy'n eich dod yma?" gofynnodd un, llais caled ac amheus.
En: "What brings you here?" one asked, voice hard and suspicious.
Cy: Teimlodd Emyr â llais ei galon yn taro yn erbyn bariau ei frest.
En: Emyr felt his heart beating against the bars of his chest.
Cy: Lledaenodd ei ddwylo, yn symber.
En: He spread his hands, conciliatory.
Cy: "Nid ystyron brwydro yw... Mae gennym wybodaeth a ellir ei sylwi."
En: "There's no intention to fight... We have information that can be valuable."
Cy: Ar y cyd, trodd sgyrsiau'n gyfnewidfa.
En: Together, conversations turned into an exchange.
