We ask this of you

I'm an author of fantasy, and I thought, as one does, that it would be cool if I were to occasionally incorporate Latin, because it's such a cool language.

The title of this thread is what I'll have a wizard say after doing a ritual, but I will leave a list of phrases I would like translated below. Most of these are like battle threats or what not. Thank you all. Ad Victoriam.

We ask this of you.
Archangel's Descent (a made-up book title)
The Wisdom of Hell (a made-up book title)
The Codex of Artorias the First (a made-up book title)
Fight me! (threat)
I pity you, my darling. (threat)
I will visit you in Hell. (threat)
[give me] The papers or your head. (threat)
Damn idiot. (insult)
Mother of Sadness (an epithet)
[I am/we are] Drowning in sadness
I like you. (like as in favor or approval)
Goodnight. (the phrase)
I want [the] Truth. (a motto)
Silence. (command/threat)
Burn, my enemy [Inimicus]
Suffer (threat/insult)
Get up! (mocking threat)
Damned Coward (insult)
Justice does not accommodate mercy, children! (threat)

P.S. if you can think of any other cool and succinct threats like these, please leave them in the comment, as I would absolutely love more ideas, as mine aren't always good.

I'm not the expert around here, but I will try my hand at this, seeing as no-one else has done so. If a wiser head can improve, I would be happy to learn from them!
