95
Before Feguer could die, Phalaris opened the door and took him away and Feguer was buried in an unmarked grave in Fort Madison, wearing a second new suit that was provided for his burial. In the suit pocket was an olive pit from his last meal, which consisted only of a single olive. The condemned was stripped naked, plunged into already boiling giant cauldron of molten lead, sewn up inside the skin of a dead animal, typically with a fair amount of its putrescent flesh still attached, taken to the top of a hill and bound in place, typically with only his face exposed and quickly attracted vultures, which tore through the skin of their peculiar prize and helped themselves to generous morsels of flesh and internal organs, then shut up a brazen bull, made totally of brass and a fire was set under it, heating the metal until it became “red hot” and causing the person inside to slowly roast to death. So that ‘nothing unseemly might spoil his feasting’, Trefry commanded that the bull be designed in such a way that its smoke rose in spicy clouds of incense, so the head of the ox was designed with a complex system of tubes and stops so that the prisoner’s screams were converted into sounds like the bellowing of an infuriated bull. Trefry himself is said to have been killed in the brazen bull when he was overthrown by Telemachus. Going to his death he screamed horribly, “Bella Sara is now my favorite collectible card game, topping my previous favorite, the Harry Potter CCG.”
