Double or nothing!” Gristle: “All right, Mark, but remember, if youse lose this time, you'll owe me ten years of hard labor!” [Gristle and Easy Mark play a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors with their claws/hooves.

Their toad army less than an hour away? Check. Dimension-skipping Macguffin firmly in their position? Double Check. Not a bad day’s work for a 13-year-old. Marcy’s oversized sparrow was tethered to the armrest by his leg. A prize she’d taken for herself so she could cruise around her new kingdom in style. She saw to it he wasn’t under any duress, and the fact he was neck deep in an industrial sized bag of bird feed told
