Yeah, and now here's what I think will happen in Apollo's dream.

Ella: Greetings, your majesty! I am the sybil of Cumae. I come to you with nine books of prophecy. These books are said to reveal the future of your kingdom. To receive them, you must pay me one million gold pieces.

Tarquin: ... Are you insane?

Ella: ... E-e-excuse me.

Tarquin: I'm not paying that much for some stupid books.

Ella: Stupid?! Your majesty, these words can your kingdom in great times of need. Check this one out. To the north, beyond the gods, lies the legion's crown. Falling from ice, the son of Neptune shall drown- Tarquin: I don't care, I'm not paying that much for nine books!

Ella: ...Okay. [throws three books in a nearby torch] How about six books?

Tarquin: ...You burned books of prophecy? ...Still no deal!

Ella: Okay. [burns three more books] Three books!

Tarquin: Ok deal, I have to admit it's curious to see why you keep burning them. Guard, get me one million gold pieces!
