In the end nobody would even remember her.
He thinks it's wrong, so wrong, as he kneels in front of the altar they made for him. It's wrong that they build it for a hero that didn't die but gave up and forgot the one that did die. Nobody thought of her, of Marian, she who had been more of a hero than he ever was, she who had given up far more than he had; she was nothing to them, most of them didn't even notice she wasn't there anymore.
They noticed the Nightwatchman was gone but nobody made the connection.
And yet people would tell her story, the legend of the Nightwatchman would be forever known. In years to come they would tell the story of the hero that came before Robin Hood, but she would be forgotten. The people would never miss Marian, they would never mourn her, and they'd never even know what happened to their hero. And the truth was they would never wonder, she was just gone; and in years to come nobody would even remember that she had once been here, that she had been a part of their story.
She was nothing but a story, a legend that would be told forever but never truly known.
