Name (nomen): ________________________________
Instructions: Fill in the blanks with the English translations.
1. Crow took to the caelum ________________. Now he had something to report. Something this big was
real news in the silva ________________—he was certus ________________ of that. Crow’s domina
________________ would surely be beatus ________________ with him, wouldn’t she? Maybe with
news this important, she would finally make Crow her most beloved pet.
2. An epistula ________________ had been found, penned by the hand of the lost princess, Leora herself.
Crow couldn’t believe his luck. The little orphan puella ________________ who found the epistula
________________ was proving to be more than she first appeared.
3. Crow was in a hurry donare ________________ report. He decided to fly low, below the treeline
in an attempt to avoid drawing attention. For the great silva ________________ had eyes. Crow
knew this all too well, for he himself was apart of its unblinking gaze. Now, he himself was on ceterus
________________ end of the stick . . . and Crow did not like it.
4. “Where are you heading in such a hurry?” It was a plague of Grackle that confronted Crow. Grackle were
not known to be a friendly bird. On the contrary, they were thieves and bullies especially when they were
in a group—often stealing cibus ________________ from other smaller birds or worse. “Tail feathers on
fire?” The Grackles all laughed.
5. Crow decided to swallow his pride and laugh along. If he didn’t say anything the Grackle would know that
he was hiding something. On ceterus ________________ hand, the postremus ________________
thing he would do is to tell them about the letter or where it was. “A little flower girl is lost in the great
silva ________________. That’s all.” said Crow.

6. He scratched in the dirt and tried to look bored. “She won’t last long, I imagine. The buzzards curabunt
________________ more about her than you likely. I don’t know. Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe you guys
have a thing for mortuus ________________ meat.”
7. That postremus ________________ line had the effect that Crow was hoping for. The Grackle were
now mad. They non commemorabunt ________________ anything about the flower girl. Now all they
wanted was a piece of Crow. Then without warning, Crow burst back up into the air. Crow dodged and
whirled about the trees. He flew faster and closer amidst the branches than he had ever done before. The
plague of grackle were hot on his tail. Crow would have to do something and quick.
8. Crow had been in this part of the forest before, though it had been some time. Owl, an amicus
________________ antiquus ________________ of sorts lived in the area. Crow was ready to cash
in on an old favor. After all, the one-eyed Owl owed him ever since the battle of Turtlerock. The Grackle
were gaining.
9. With a fake to the left, Crow hooked to the right. The old knot hole was still there in the medium
________________ of the tree. Crow dove inside. Darkness quickly shrouded him. As the grackle
raced by, the flurry of their wings now echoed inside the tree. Soon enough quiet returned. Crow had
escaped . . . at least for now. The Grackle wouldn’t soon forget.
10. Crow’s eyes were adjusting to the darkness. Something felt alienus ________________. A shiver
overcame him. Crow was not alone. Apud ________________ him, were Owl’s bones. And if Crow was
right, it appeared that Owl hadn’t just died of natural causes. Owl had been killed by a rope of thorns.
Who would want necare ________________ Owl?
