To Hell (with convention)

A shrieking cackle cut through the air. Green energies surrounded the figure like hundreds of angry wasps. Throwing her staff forward, the Witch cast a spell into the thick of battle. Victims gripped their temples and fell to their knees in pain. Those that still had skin saw it peel away, revealing the flesh and bone beneath.

The clash of steel sent sparks flying. The General used his shield offensively, bashing a foes head in. He could see the prize up on the hill, a beacon of hope for his troops. His lance crunched as it shattered through the rib cage of a troll. His muscles ached for relief, but he would not stop while she breathed.

The ground shook with his every step. The massive Zombie King charged into the melee, sending soldiers flying like pins. Swinging his ancient blade, he cut an opponents mount in two. As the fresh scent of blood reached his nostrils, he let out a roar, sending fear down the spines of the living.

Sweat dripped down her forehead. She fought the ties that bound her to the pole. The Princess tried not to look at the horrible carnage that lay before her, a war being fought for her freedom. She choked back tears of fear as she knew more would die in her name before the day was out. Her skin was gooseflesh, the cold winds blowing right through the skimpy sacrificial gown.

A desperate lunge and he was past the undead. The Hero had reached the top of the hill. An evil rogue stood before him. With a shout of anger, the human thrust his weapon forward, determined to let nothing stop him. His opponent deftly dodged and time stood still. The beauty looked down, her breath stolen from her throat. The blade was impaled through her stomach. Darkness washed over her while her saviour could only stand there in horror as his foes cut him down like wheat.

A great call echoed over the killing fields. ‘Sophie - dinners ready!!’ it boomed. Grunting, the little girl got up. She hated dinner - it always interrupted the best parts. Sohpie knocked the doll to the floor with a grin. She never did like Barbie.
