All Chapters of Hidden Legacy (The Lost Luna): Chapter 211 - Chapter 220

Elowen's Point of View We followed Neri to a brothel on Pier fourteen. The outside was old and unpainted and looked like it might have been abandoned, except it wasn't falling apart. The insides, however, were obviously high-priced, and I found them to be garish. Painting walls gold and purple, although royal colours, did not make something elegant. Just because something was expensive didn't make it classy. I was surprised to find this was one of Madame Undine's places. Everyone knew she had two places in the city, but it seemed this was a third place privy to a few more select clients. Madame Undine was exceptionally beautiful until you looked into her eyes. There was no warmth there. Rumour had it that she had killed her chosen mate many years ago because he had killed her fated mate. I guess that would make you cold. "Just remember, Master Neri, I require my girls to be able to walk and service other clients after you. If you intend on leaving marks or crippling them, your goin

Aeon's Point of View After briefing my four guards, I sent them for some well-earned downtime and immediately requested an audience with my Queen. I was glad none of the others were with me as it would give me time to bask in the gloriousness and beauty that was Queen Aurora. Though I worked hard to hide it, I was totally in love with her. I had been feeling this way about her long before her fated mate was killed. The Royal Consort was one of the most proficient Fae warriors ever. He still continued to fight until his death in a border skirmish. This current problem was not the first time the shield on the border between the two Realms had been encroached by Dark Fae monsters. When he died, I never saw it as a chance for me. Her pain due to his death was so palpable that I wanted to take it away. I wished it could have been me; instead, I would have died, and then she wouldn't be parted from her mate. Throughout the years after his death, I just continued to love her while I prot

The full translations and pronunciations in Chapter 41 are: Nos Lucis veritatem quaerimus, (nohs loo-chees veh-ree-tah-tem kweh-ree-moos) Solum veritatem, (soh-loom veh-ree-tah-tem) Nihil praeter veritatem. (nee-hil pray-ter veh-ree-tah-tem) It has been loosely translated it as: We seek the truth of light, Only the truth, Nothing except the truth Differences between Classical Latin and Church Latin: (part 2) Classical Latin and Church Latin, also known as Ecclesiastical Latin, have several differences, primarily in terms of pronunciation, vocabulary, and usage. Here are some key distinctions: Syntax and Grammar: Both Classical and Church Latin share the same basic grammar and syntax, but Ecclesiastical Latin may exhibit some differences in usage due to its association with religious texts and practices. Ecclesiastical Latin often employs archaic grammatical constructions or word order to mimic the style of the Vulgate (Latin translation of the Bible) or other religious t

I do feel that I owe my readers an explanation as to why my chapters have been posted irregularly. For the last six months, I have been sick and injured. I caught a cold towards the end of term 3 last year. I got better just before the school holidays and spent the first week of them in bed with the flu. I just got back to school in term 4 only to catch a gastro bug that was going around. Primary schools are Petri dishes of viruses, especially when you are a junior school teacher with little ones who need constant reminding to take their fingers out of their mouths and wash their hands. My daughter brought Covid into the household, which surprised me because I thought if it were going to happen again, it would be me bringing it in, but no. On the second to last day of school, I fell off a stool which was made for climbing, landing on my back, and spent six weeks on bed rest. Luckily, I only had lots of soft tissue damage and bruising. I could only sit at my desk for 5 minutes at the

Aeon's Point of View "Listen up," I said to my guards as they entered Sebille's house. "We are now going after the father, as he is our most challenging target. We don't know what magic, if any, he has available to him. He has considerable resources, so we must take care when apprehending him." I had kept Landae with me because we would most likely need his skills to pick the lock to enter Duan's house. "Captain," he said. "I have an idea of how we could go about this." Giving Landae the nod to proceed, he explained, "We know that Duan has more resources than Neri, but I doubt he would leave his son vulnerable. I think we should scout out both properties before we make a plan of action." "I hear what you are saying, Landae," replied Elara, one of the three females we had in the Queen's Guard. "We don't know if he has a golem or some other form of defence at his place of residence. What I can do is cast a detect magic spell. This would typically highlight any forms of magic within
