(Flipped POV of Gladys)

Sera was an eager young woman who was nearing the end of her apprenticeship to her teacher Mrs. Whipple when everything took a turn for the worse. A string of deaths by poison were linked to her bakery, and her and her mentor find themselves charged as serial killers, a violent enough crime to earn them a place in the arena. In the arena those convicted pay their sentences in blood and not time, but as a professed coward and someone who has never before fought Sera is given special distinction as a 'handicap'. Her sentence will see chained to a real fighter to slow them down, her flailing presence in the arena considered more comedy relief than an actual contender.
