My friend and I were severly broken hearted over the death of Robin and Marian. So we decided to make it our way....hope you enjoy!
Robin Hood
Series 4, Episode 1
Return of the Legend
Much sat next to Robin's inert body and released a choked sob.
"I didn't imagine it like this! I thought... I thought we'd all make it, at least until the king came back." His rough fingers brushed Robin's cheek.
"The king is not coming back! Didn't you hear the sheriff? He's being held for ransom! And there is no way we could pay it." Kate's voice was choked.
"We're not going to pay it." It was Archer's rough voice that spoke now.
"Archer, we must help the king! If we don't, Prince John will send some new sheriff to replace the old one." Tuck's strong tone carried through the woods.
"We're not going to pay it," maintained Archer, "but we are going to save the king."
"I don't want to save the king!" Much burst out. "I want to... I want to bring Isabella back and kill her again! I want to make her pay for what she did to Robin..." He dissolved into tears again.
"But don't you see, Much, that by saving the king, you will be avenging Robin? The king will see those responsible for the treason within England hanged!" Tuck said with conviction.
Kate started to say something, but broke off. As she struggled to push the words through her tight throat, John enveloped her in a warm, fatherly hug.
"Hush Kate. Hush." Tears ran down his own weathered cheeks as he said this.
"Well, I'm not going anywhere until we've given Robin a-- a proper... burial." Much fought to get the words out.
"He's right," said Tuck. "Let's give the people time to mourn for him. Time to honor him."
"John," said Archer, then nodded to Robin's body. No words were needed as Little John gathered the body into his arms and began carrying him to the camp.
