Another drabble for Friday Flash!
To become a warrior you must do five things.
First: master the whip and the knife.
Second: Acquire a noble steed. Mind, acquire it yourself. No fit warrior buys his sandworm. You must trek into the desert and find a sandworm nest. Be easy. Almost no one loses a limb or an eye acquiring a sandworm babe.
Three: Train your young steed. Take no heed of the legends; sandworms are docile, loving creatures. They merely require a firm whip.
Four: Learn a riding bow from your sandworm’s back. Be diligent; this might be your most important weapon.
Five: Find a worthy cause to serve. Only brigands serve their own ambitions.
Story Treasury 
I be a brigand! Har har har, get out of my way, I need some Grogg.
That was fun đŸ™‚
LOL That’s funny
I could see that becoming the basis for a novel! Nice bit of Dune fanfic there…
Now that you mention it, this is a bit like an outline, isn’t it? LOL
I loved this Sonia, I agree with FAR this could be the start of something big!
Thanks Helen!
All you need is insane skill and to be tougher than nails. Or a fast internet connection and somebody already in a guild!
Minor editing note: ‘master’ in the second paragraph isn’t capitalized, but you do capitalize the other words post-colon in the other paragraphs.
LOL Yes I think that’s exactly right!
Oh thanks! I will fix it.
As I was reading this, I thought, “Whoever wrote these instructions is hoping to weed out the ones stupid enough to go get a juvenile sandworm.” You had me.
LOL Thanks Tony!
Noteworthy instructions Sonia, but I’m gonna be a brigand, cos the bad guys have sooooooo much more fun. đŸ™‚
I guess they do! LOL Thanks Steve
Sure, Five steps makes it sound so easy!
Yep, only 5! Though I am sure there is a 12-step program out there, if you want a longer one.
Had me thinking of Dune too.
Oddly, I’ve never read Dune. I think I might now.
I think I’m with Mike & Steve on this one. Rebels Rule!
LOL Figured you would be Danni!
LOL, Reminds me of a cross between Beetlejuice and D&D! I don’t think I’m warrior material!
That’s alright, not many people are! Thanks Gany
Cute! I love the humor in here, especially almost no one loses a limb.
Thanks Aidan!
Almost no one loses a limb? So what happens to those that do? I have a sinking feeling, I’d be one of them!
Me too. With my luck, I would lose an eye, too.
I don’t think I’m destined to become a warrior. But I’m glad I read this! Good one!
I am glad too Eric! Thanks.
This was so much fun, I loved it! LOL, like so many other of your commenters, I liked the part about hardly anyone losing eyes and limbs acquiring the sandworm babe. And yeah, that sounds slightly suspicious to me, too!
Hey Madison! Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it!
“First: master the whip and the knife.”
“They merely require a firm whip.”
Well I was wondering what the whip was for. I’d probably join the band of brigands that seems to be forming here.
Yeah, the warrior needs to keep the sandworm in line. You are in good company!
I can handle a knife (at least as far as chopping vegetables go), but the whip may require some practice. At least I now know where I am in the progression. đŸ™‚
At least! LOL Thanks Chuck
Good to know! đŸ˜‰
