FLASHBACK
A battle has broken out on the outskirts of Acre. A Saracen is about to kill a Saracen woman and her 3 year old child. Immediately an arrow is shot into his shoulder and he falls to the ground in pain. An unknown figure then runs over to them, it's Robin.
'Don't worry I'm here to help you' he said soothingly.
The woman excepted his help and he took her hand, helping her up. He then picked up the child into one of his arms and the other assuring the woman. He leads them into the forest and to a small river, where a boat is waiting for them.
'You spoke to our King a few days
ago I'm here to make sure you get away safely.'
The woman nods
and surprisingly spoke out in English.
'Yes I remember and I honor him for that.'
'You speak English?' he questioned.
'Of course your King doesn't speak ours doesn't he?'
Robin smiled. 'No' He helped the woman into the boat and passed her her child. He then unties the boat and it starts to drift away. Before it is clear from the bank the woman grabbed his hand and looked into his eyes.
'Thank-you.' And then placed something into his hand, muttering some sort of ritual.
'I give you to this man, you're new guardian, protector. His soul green and strong.' She looked up at Robin. 'You are now blessed for this is a part of me and now part of you. You will guard this with your life.' Robin nodded and she smiled as the boat began to drift away.
'Good-bye Robin of Locksley.'
Robin looked at her confused.
'How did you know ...' But he stopped as he noticed she had disappeared into the darkness. He looked at the wrapped parcel in his hand. Then without warning he heard a rustle in the bushes and he spun around quickly, then jumped.
FLASH
Present. Robin jolted awake from his sleep and looked around. Nobody was looking at him. Phew. Everyone was eating breakfast around the campfire which he was grateful for, but unknown to him everyone kept it to themselves after seeing Robin stirring in his dreams. Much seeing him awake walked over to him. His face, it looked pale and yet haunted. Much shook his head removing the image from his mind and smiled at his master.
'Breakfast Master?' Much asked.
'No thank-you Much. I don't feel like eating.' He head was spinning enough as it is.
'Master you must eat. You haven't eaten since yesterday morning.' Much insisted.
'I'm fine Much.' He looked up at Much and smiled with his usual cheeky grin. 'Trust me.'
Much didn't though, well he does trust Robin but not when he talks about himself and his problems. Ever since they had returned from the Holy War Robin was being haunted by all the events which had occurred, but Much thought he shouldn't have those dreams still. Much only had the few odd nightmares and that was when the suicide attack happened on the King, Robin had been injured severely and was almost fatal. Much looked at Robin and sighed.
'As you wish Master.'
Much went to sit down with the others. Each and every one of them all having an idea about Robin.
It's afternoon, Robin, Will, Much and Little John are delivering some food to the villagers. Robin, Much and Will are on horses whilst John chose to walk. Robin starts to close his eyes and nod off but every time the horse feels the reins loose it tugs waking him again.
'Robin, maybe you should go back to camp.' advised Will.
Robin smiled at him. 'I'm fine Will, just tired.'
'It doesn't help that you haven't eaten.' said Much sarcastically.
Robin sighed. 'Thank-you Much. Would it make you happier if I ate when we got back?'
'Yes!' he yelled.
'Then I will. Better?'
John interrupted him. 'You should still go back Robin.'
'I'm fine! Stop worrying! I'm just tired.' They stopped horses.
'Holy War?' Much questioned and winced expecting a shouting session from Robin.
'Yes' replied Robin calmly which surprised Much. Robin faced forward. 'And other things.'
There's a great silence.
'Come on let's deliver these sacks.' Robin said. 'Djaq and Allan will be worried if we're late.' Then with that he kicked his horse and lead the way, the others followed.
After delivering the sacks they give the horses away and walk back to camp. When they arrived Robin kept his word and had something to eat. He stands up and overcomes a great amount of dizziness, he looks quite confused. Much notices this.
'Robin are you alright?' he asked worryingly.
'Fine.' Robin smiled at him but is quite unsure himself. He takes a few steps forward and suddenly trips up and doesn't get back up.
'Master!' Much is about to run toward him but is held back by Little John. 'What are you doing?! He could be hurt!' he shouted.
'Much relax. He's asleep.' replied John softly.
He lets go off Much and he checks up on Robin making sure he's breathing.
'What?'
So what you think guys? Better than the other even though I've not completed it. lol
