ATTENTION DUELISTS!: I have submitted a new Latin story and a Latin poem so check that out! I am also in the the second half of my second year of Latin meaning my Latin is much better now. Julia should've been Iulia but oh well

“Puella Silvae” by Ben Rude

Chapter 3:

Alexius inquit, "Mi fili, cur illam Iuliam videre volebas?"

Benus, "In animo habeo invenire Iuliam, sed silvam amaverat..."

Alexius, "Tace! Audi aliquid!" ut petere temptavit qui fragorem facebat. Subito ursida apparet ex tenebris! "ABITE! Ursidam repellam cum gladio meo! CURRE EX SILVA!"

Benus ursidam aliam vidit, quae ambulabant vidit ad viam, ad quam Iulia ambulaverat. "Pater! Non morire! Est necesse servare Iuliam!" inquit ut currebant ad aliam ursidam.

Brevi tempore Benus puellam silvae, quam videre volebat, invenit. Iulia super corpe ursidae cum gladio in manibus stabat.

Benus clamabat, "Quam neglegentes estis!"

Iuliam ridebat et ei dicet, "Nonne pueri omnes timet?"

In English: Alexius said, "My son, why were you wanting to see that 'Iulia'."

Benus, "I intend to find Iulia, but she had loved the forest..."

Alexius, "Be quiet! I heard something!" as he triedto seek what was making the sound. Suddenly a bear appeared out of the shadows! "Run! I will drive off the bear with my sword. Run out of the woods!"

Benus saw another bear, who was walking toward the way, to which Iulia had walked. "Father! Do not die! It is necessare to save Iulia!" he said as he was running toward the bear. In a short time Benus found the girl of the forest, whom he was wanting to see. Iulia was standing above the bear's body with a sword in her bands. Benus shouted, "How careless you are!"

Iuliam was smiling and said to him, "Surely boys fear everything?"
