You were supposed to translate the following into Latin and then add an additional Latin sentence as an ending.
Story:
Whenever he left, we were always sad until he returned. As long as he* was away, we could not sleep. For without him* we were afraid, since we did not know what we should do. Therefore, we waited until we should receive new orders. While we were waiting, a messenger suddenly approached.
Translation:
Cum discesserat, semper erāmus maestī dum rediit. Dum aberat, poterāmus dormīre. Quō enim absente (or “nam sine quō”), timēbāmus, cum nescīrēmus quid faceremus. Igitur manēbāmus dum imperia nova acciperēmus. Dum manēmus, nuntius subitō accessit.
My example ending:
Then he was about to speak, when out of the blue he fell down showing a sword in his back.
Tum dictūrus erat, cum de improvīsō cecidit gladium in tergo (suō) praebens.
