Antea, in locus remotus, ego, Acucius, mutatiebam dominus caliginis unum malus inenarrabilis emiseram; autem balo bellator Samora, cum gladio magico, mihi contra pervenerat. Priore offensio ultima inflixerat, porta in tempora abscinderam et prospicuo iaceram illum, quo imperium est malus mei. Nunc ille insipiens quaesti regredior antiquo ita futurus Acucii solveret.

(Translator's note: This Latin fragment appears to have been part of an introduction to another work, now lost. It is worth noting for two reasons: 1) It is the only Latin piece in the whole codex, 2) It is written in the first person as being spoken by Aku. Is it possible the Shogun of Sorrow himself wrote this, perhaps as part of a larger work? Efforts to contact Aku for an answer are presumed to have been unsuccessful; the historian sent to make the inquiry, Dr. Albertus Watterson, was never heard from again, and no one has dared go near the castle since. If you have information on either this fragment or the whereabouts of Dr. Watterson, please contact The H.O.U.N.D. Society, P.O. Box 1563, Aku Avenue #93452456433322986, New Amsterdam, NY, 10181. It should be noted that Dr. Watterson's family misses him very much, and that knowing the origin of this Latin fragment may be of the utmost importance toward shaping our knowledge of universal history.)
