For this drabble, I'm going to experiment with the villain protagonist role, due to me not used to writing a villain as a main character in more than one story. This is the case with my other fanfiction trilogy, The Maranguan Chronicles. So far, Maranguan's been a wild card. So, let's see what happens. :) Also, Maranguan is my OC and the opposite of his good self, Parker Dooley. Enjoy. :)

Story: The Exploding Sandwich Returns!
Word Count: 314
Maranguan sat on the bottom step outside the Prince's palace. He sported red and black burn marks all over his scaly red, thin, muscular body. His dragon-like head had a short snout, whose tip stood upright at the end of his nose. His once yellow eyes remained red. He was no longer his good self, Parker Dooley. That name was gone. He was now Maranguan, the dark dragonoid who favored wearing a red shirt and a pair of black trousers.
Such was the nature of being a dark lord, one of the first dark lords to roam these lands. He smirked at the thought of wanting to attack a village, use a dragon as a souvenir to unworthy victims. Things like that. He wouldn't mind bringing an exploding sandwich over to this palace and seeing what the Prince had to say about it.
Oh yes! That did sound evil. He waved his hands in the air, forming the perfect sandwich. There was plenty of pastrami, but also a pipe bomb hidden in the sandwich. Oh, how evil! Oh, look! There was Cinderella now, dressed in a blue gown, running down the stairs. Oh, he had to show this to her, give the sandwich as a nice present. Surely, she would eat it.
"Oh Cinderella, here's a little parting gift for you," Maranguan smirked in wicked delight.
"Stay away from me!" Cinderella cried, running away from him. Her glass shoe landed on the stairs, shocking Maranguan.
"I could just escort you back to your house!" Maranguan told her, picking up her glass shoe.
"I'll be fine, Maranguan!" Cinderella cried, darting off without complaint.
Maranguan huffed. Well, there was no point in using this sandwich now. He tossed the sandwich away, surprising himself when it burst, causing a large pillar to collapse on the road. He smiled. The disaster was done. Now, he could move on!
