CHAPTER TEN OK, does everyone know what they're doing? Yes, they've been briefed.

RRRRRUUUMPP!

What's happening out there, Adrian? The referee is getting ready to announce the fight.

YOU LUCKY PEOPLE! You are about to see... a most rare, a most GRUESOME spectacle. GLADIATORS VERSUS BIRDS!!! WOOP! AGHHH!!! SQUEAL! YESSS! On one side, we have the meanest, most beastly brothers in Rome! Put your hands together for...

BRUTUS!!! And MAGNUS!!! WOOP! SCREAM! SHRIEK! Wooh! Aggghhh! I LOVE YOU, BRUTUS! SCREEEAM! On the other side we have... two flamingos! A parrot! We have two swans! An ostrich! We have a dodo! We've got a vulture! They're toast. This will be quick. Cough. Cough.

We have two special guests. Birds so rare, we aren't even sure what species they are. Let's just call them Whatshisface... ...and Whatshername. Some misplaced confidence from Whatshername. Cute.
