Voco ad silentium, (woh-ko ahd see-lehn-tee-oom)
Quod te circumdat, (kwod teh keer-koom-daht)
Voco ad tenebras, (woh-ko ahd teh-neh-brahs)
Quod te celat, (kwod teh keh-laht)
Voco ad lucem, (woh-ko ahd loo-kem)
Quod per te splendet, (kwod teh splehn-deht)
Coniunctim simul, (koh-nee-ook-teem see-mool)
Tu potes ab omnibus latere. (too poh-tes ahb om-nee-boos lah-teh-reh)
It has been loosely translated it as:
I call to the silence,
It surrounds you,
I call to the darkness,
It conceals you,
I call to the light,
It shines through you,
Together as one,
You can hide from all.
It has been a while since I had to learn Latin and use it, so I think my declensions are correct. I started learning Latin at 7 years. My grandfather taught me both Classical and Church since I went to an Anglican church school. I took it during high school as one of my language choices. My grandfather was so precious to me, that I have tried to keep up my understanding of the language. It has certainly help understanding the complexities of grammar in many languages.
There is also a difference in the way Church Latin and Classical Latin is spelt and pronounced. Church Latin is closer to Italian in pronunciation and spelling. I have endeavoured to spell this in the Classical Latin form. Such as, using 'quod' instead of 'id'.

Hidden Legacy (The Lost Luna) Book 3: The Love Of A Beta - Ch. 24. Training (Renée)
Renée's Point of View After spending a relaxing afternoon and evening with Delilah, we decided to trust in the Goddess and move in together. We would take other parts of the relationship a little slower, but it would take a little while for me, especially, to get used to sleeping in the same bed with another person, let alone mating. I had never been in a relationship before with a female or male. We each found males and females attractive, and Delilah had been out with both. I had just been too dedicated to my job. In my mind, there was a big difference between some random person and your God or Goddess-gifted mate. There was also the fact that although Fae lived for many thousands of years, I was still only in my thirties, while Delilah was 107 years old. She felt a little weird about being much, much older than me.
Hidden Legacy (The Lost Luna) Book 3: The Love Of A Beta - Ch. 25 Training (Adriana and Daemon)
Adriana's Point of ViewYesterday afternoon, Daemon and I took the opportunity to spend time with the twins. I always missed them terribly when we went away. Regrettably, it just wasn't safe to bring them, not with the places we ended up going. One day, maybe.At breakfast this morning, we all stated what our plans were for the day. Charlotte and Adam were going over the rosters for patrols and guards. For the guards, there was the Royal Guards who were protecting the mansion where we lived. There was another set of guards who manned the gate where all visitors were supposed to enter and exit. Then there was the border protection.Border protection involved patrols at different intervals. Each patrol group consisted of six warriors. Three would patrol in human form, while the others were in wolf form. Our human forms could see, hear and smell almost as well as our wolves, but it was only an almost. Having three in wolf form gave that extra level of detection.Since the Royal Guard had
Hidden Legacy (The Lost Luna) Book 3: The Love Of A Beta - Ch. 26 No Matter What
Avril's Point of ViewTyler and I spent the morning with Perry and Ariana working out how to accommodate any possible Fae refugees should it be needed. As much as I wanted to think we wouldn't need it, I just couldn't shake the feeling that we probably would.When Adriana had the mansion updated and refurbished, a road had been created between here and the old packhouse. That building had been refurbished into accommodation and an area for pack meetings. Guest houses were built close to the main mansion that housed the people during the coronation.More had been built since then, as well as chalets for the Royal Guards and family, but no one had moved in yet. Should we need it, there were places with Wolf-Shifter families. So all in all, we had enough accommodation for around 150 people. Plenty.We met everyone for lunch before Tyler and I returned to our apartment. I needed to speak with him. The feelings of guilt were threatening to overwhelm me."What is wrong?" asked Tyler. "I can
Hidden Legacy (The Lost Luna) Book 3: The Love Of A Beta - Ch. 27 Summons
Avril's Point of View For three weeks, everyone had been training and organising. Daemon, Adriana and Thorn continued with their magic. Both Daemon and Adriana were able to harness all four basic elements as well as electricity. Daemon was exceptionally strong in earth magic, whereas Adriana could access all of them equally. She was an Aether Elementalist and, with training, could become very powerful. Renée and the witches were seeing how powerful they could make the invisibility spell. They had explained to me that the only creatures who could be truly invisible were Dragon-Shifters. The spell Amiria devised was the best it would get in terms of invisibility. With all three witches involved in casting the spell, it lasted for 10 hours. So far, none of the Wolf-Shifters, Witches, or Fae here could detect Renée, though there didn't seem to be any way to hide opening and closing doors or lifting objects. Not even Dragons could hide that, so the spell was definitely close. I had mind
Hidden Legacy (The Lost Luna) Book 3: The Love Of A Beta - Ch. 28 Portal Gone Wrong
Avril's Point of ViewTyler and I entered the portal, with the rest of our group following. Each time I stepped through, it was a surreal sensation. First, a gentle ripple caressed my skin, and our realm blurred into nothingness. It left me suspended in the unknown for what were mere seconds that felt like minutes. Then, there was a brief tingle as we stepped out of the portal into another realm."Wow!" exclaimed Tyler. "I don't think I will ever get used to that.""I'm still not used to it," I told him, grabbing his hand. "I have lost count of how many times I have been through one, and it still gets me every time."“I may not get used to that, but I certainly enjoy this,” he purred as the palpitations associated with the mate bond ran up my arm.“As much as I want to, now is not the time,” I admonished him before turning to Lysander, who was busy looking around, "Hey, weren't there supposed to be warriors here waiting for us?""Yes, they were, but this area is different. This is not

Hidden Legacy (The Lost Luna) Book 3: The Love Of A Beta - Ch. 29 Danger In The Fae Realm
Tyler's Point of View "What the hell was that?" I exclaimed. I would be lying if I said I wasn't scared. That monster was straight out of a nightmare. When Avril went behind it, to attack it with her dagger, I was truly scared and worried for her. The worst part was that I couldn’t even help her. Neither human nor wolf form would have helped. I was a liability. "It was a Sskíatokos, or Shadowspawn would be the closest translation," answered Lysandros. "It is a dark Fae which feeds on the fears of those who cross its path. "Its malevolent powers twist the very fabric of reality that it is permitted to feed on." "Not to mention that it projectile vomits black acid," I responded, disgusted at the creature, and thankful that we didn’t have this at home to deal with. "For them to come across the border, there needs to be a major breach," Thorn explained. "The magic on our borders stops them." "Is there any way to seal the breach?" asked Adriana. "There is, but we need to get to Queen

I hope you enjoyed that short story. It was rather important because it was the beginning of the Supernatural Council, which is mentioned in Book 4.Book 4: The Gamma and her two Alphas follow Princess Lucienne and is set just over 18 years into the future. Lucienne is not entirely happy being a princess and certainly is not all ladylike like her mother, Queen Adriana, wishes she was. In fact, she can be a bit of a rebel at times and pulls no punches if you piss her off. Book 4 has been started and will be posted starting January 2025.Check out my I*******m page (nikoradepressedpoet) for pictures of the latest covers. Each book will be available in paperback. I am rewriting parts of Book 1. The covers for books 4 and 5 are already designed.
Hidden Legacy (The Lost Luna) Dragon Princess - Chapter 30: A New Dawn
Asher’s Point of ViewAndreas fell to the ground, crumpling against the cold tiles, his body barely clinging to consciousness. The fury in his eyes was still present, but it was mingled with something else—fear. “You may have won this battle, but there are others who believe in the purity of Dragonkind,” he rasped, his voice barely a whisper.His words hung in the air, a twisted echo of the truth he could no longer deny. The irony was palpable; he had sought power through a dark alliance, yet he spoke of purity as if it still held weight. He had traded the purity he claimed to uphold for power, and now, even that was slipping through his fingers.Father stepped forward with the Council behind him, his expression one of grave disappointment. “Andreas, you and your father have sown discord among our people and disgraced your family name. T
Hidden Legacy (The Lost Luna) Dragon Princess - Chapter 29 Clash of Fates
Asher’s Point of ViewMy Dragon and I were enraged by Andreas’s words describing our fated mate as a dog. Rin placed her hand against my arm, its muscles tense and coiled tightly, fists clenched in anger. Her gentle touch acted like a soothing balm, softening my clenched fist.Slowly, I felt the anger beginning to dissipate, the pressure easing as I relaxed under her calming influence. The contrast between my earlier state and this new sense of peace was palpable, reminding me of the power of our bond. There was nothing Andreas could say that would make me turn against Rin. I would rather lose my crown than be without her.The tension in the council chamber was electric as Andreas continued to spew venom, his arrogance infuriating. I could feel the Dragon within me thrumming, eager for a confrontation. “Enough!” I
Hidden Legacy (The Lost Luna) Dragon Princess - Chapter 28: Truth and Treachery
Christine’s Point of ViewThe air felt thick in the chamber, as if the magic that summoned Andreas and Viggo hung around, binding us in an unseen net of tension. Viggo’s face was drawn tight, his eyes flickering with a dangerous mix of fear and rage. At the same time, Andreas’ expression remained cold and calculating. His eyes darted around the room, assessing, scheming.Andreas recovered first, straightening as if pulling on an invisible cloak of authority. “What you claim is… nonsense,” he panted, glaring at Eiríkr. Fighting the compulsion to tell the truth was taking its toll and making him sweat. “I’ve been… nothing but… loyal… to our kind. This… is a… farce!” He was panting now from the sheer exertion.Asher stood tall next to me, his ha
Hidden Legacy (The Lost Luna) Dragon Princess - Chapter 27 The Unraveling Web
Christine’s Point of ViewWe slowly made our way back, twisting and turning through the enchanted passages to the awaiting Council Members. Asher had already mind-linked his father, who assured him they would be waiting. We weren’t the only ones who had news since the archiver from the Council of Witches and Warlocks had found some interesting information.The Council Chambers buzzed with a quiet intensity. Though our alliance remained steadfast, the growing unrest among the Dragon-Shifter populace threatened everything we had built. Outside these walls, whispers of dissent were rising, fueled by fear of change and manipulation by those who sought to close our society once again.Asher stood beside me, his expression grim as he explained what we found in the books. “While we have nothing concrete at this stage, if we do
Hidden Legacy (The Lost Luna) Dragon Princess - Chapter 26 Secrets of the Past
Asher's Point of View"So you think he's using his own son as a pawn?" Adriana asked.Her question was answered, "I think Viggo would use anyone—blood or not—to get what he wants." I agreed with Father. This was part of the reason why I didn't want much to do with my uncle, aunt, and cousins.My grandfather had forced Father and Viggo to take chosen mates, ones he thought were acceptable for the Royal Family. Both were well-educated, refined women from noble families.My parents had at least fallen in love eventually, even if they weren't fated mates. Father had never met his fated mate, or at least, that was what he had told me. When my mother, Áslaug (AWS-lough), died, he was heartbroken but still able to function.Viggo
Hidden Legacy (The Lost Luna) Dragon Princess - Chapter 25 The Gathering Storm
Asher's Point of ViewThe council chamber felt colder than it ever had before. No matter how many fires roared in the hearths or candles flickered against the heavy stone walls, a chill seemed to seep into my bones. I couldn't put it entirely down to tiredness, even though I was exhausted fighting two battles in such a short time.No. It was a combination of many things. Andreas' smirk, the flames from the explosion, and the insignia of the Purists haunted me as I sat at the table, my hands clenched so tight that my knuckles were white.Rin sat beside me, her expression hard but eyes betraying the same exhaustion and worry I felt. It had been hours since we returned from the first fight, but with the second battle, we hadn't had a moment to breathe. There was no time for rest when the Purists were gaining ground. My cousin, Andreas, was
Hidden Legacy (The Lost Luna) Dragon Princess - Chapter 24 Flames of Betrayal
Asher's Point of ViewAs soon as Rin and I returned from the marketplace attack, we called for an emergency council meeting. The tension in what we now referred to as the council chamber hung in the air, thick enough to cut through.The servants had been busy changing the room. It was now a place of stark contrasts. Ancient banners from each species hung from the high vaulted ceilings, their vibrant colours dulled by the weight of war. The air smelled faintly of smoke and iron, a reminder of battles past and future.Every seat around the grand, circular table was filled. Dragons, Wolves, Vampires, and the Lycan King and Queen united under one roof. Yet, for some reason, it felt as if we were all divided by the constant threat looming over us.The Purists were growing bolder, and tonight
Hidden Legacy (The Lost Luna) Dragon Princess - Chapter 23 Shadows of Resistance
Christine's Point of ViewThe days that followed were a whirlwind of activity. We launched joint patrols, organised public gatherings, and ensured that every species—Dragons, Wolves, Vampires, Fae—was represented. It wasn't easy. There were still plenty of sceptical people, glares, and whispered doubts. But slowly, I began to see a shift.In the streets, I saw Wolves patrolling alongside Dragons. Vampires and Fae worked alongside Dragons in the markets to keep the peace. It wasn't perfect, and tensions were still simmering beneath the surface, but it was progress. And I started feeling hopeful for the first time in what felt like forever.Asher and I stood on a balcony overlooking the domed city one evening, watching as the lights of the stronghold twinkled in the darkness of the weir. The air was cool, carrying the scent of snow from ou
