    The Drabble Writing Challenge: Warm Up

    A puddle of blood, Raphael's boot sank down to his ankle. Screams and shouts of rage and dread, the melody of war crafting a beautiful hymn of bloodshed. He stepped forward, his body bathed in crimson ichor. Raphael raised his hand out wide, the large blade in his left hand. He beckoned them...

    Raphael pulled back with his sword and slammed the blade down, just next to the small girl's head. He had a look of disgust on his face. "First, did you really think I wouldn't recognize the Bastard's Play? I went to the Academy too, ya dimwit." He then spun around and focused his attention...

    Raphael chuckled at the small girl and nodded. "Yes, I believe you will...Ready?" Raphael's skin turned a shade of red as he increased his blood flow and his muscles strained as veins appeared over his body. A red sword appeared in his hand, but smaller than his preferred size. He looked back...

    "Alright, so it has come to my attention that there is way too much friendship and kindness in the surrounding area. I did not realize the Academy had fallen to such a level. Thankfully, I am here to provide a helpful hand." Raphel turned his gaze to Chasmine with a smile. "You will be fighting...

    Raphael had made it back to his comfortable little spot beneath the tree. He thought he heard one of the bugs talking, something about a no, but that probably wasn't about him. He looked over the students for the briefest before closing his eyes and listening to the ringing of steel. That...

    Raphael looked around at all of them before taking one last glance at Elias. "Wow, you really are hated. I'm impressed." The large dreadlord acted like he was deep in thought but quickly looked back at them. "Alright, so here is the plan. The 'scion of Sirl' is going to fight the small one...

    "What's all the whining about? I said pick your partners." Raphael slowly brought himself to his feet as he casually made his way over to the three. His large stature put him clearly above the rest of them. He turned his gaze onto each of them before settling on Delaney. "What seems to be...

    This had to be the dumbest fucking thing that the asshats at the top had ever made him do. He was a weapon of war that had single-handedly wiped out entire legions. So obviously, what was the best use of his time? Apparently, babysitting a bunch of children that were all squishy ever since the...

    Dreadlords The Anniversary of Freedom

    Raphael could only laugh in glee at Zana's exclamation. He then offered a wink to Landon as he looked around at all the fearful faces that took steps back. That's where he was wrong. Everyone cared, but only those that understood how this city really worked would say it out loud. "There she...

    Dreadlords The Anniversary of Freedom

    Raphael's eyes dropped to Landon's finger which was precariously close to the trigger. His smile only widened as he looked up to meet Landon's eyes. "I'm just trying to be friendly. If you decide to pull that trigger then you better make sure you kill me or you'll be missing more than just a...

    Dreadlords The Anniversary of Freedom

    "Some of us worked smarter." Raphael quipped back with a large laugh, perfectly fine with the attention they were gathering. This was the part he missed the most about Vel Anir, which was also the part being lost the most. People use to fear them like the boogymen that they are. They still do...

    Dreadlords The Anniversary of Freedom

    Oh, it's good to be home. Too bad this home made him want to puke. The revolution had been such a disappointment for Raphael. They had removed all the fun parts of Vel Anir, and the worst part, they had not even invited him when it came to doing all the killing. How rude! He would give them...
