The Start of Something New – Being Allowed to Start Agin
-I do not own Robin Hood, I only own 'Terra'-
Her adrenaline high as ever, her breath no longer even, her arms and legs could not bear much more activity and her muscles ached with every swing of her dagger. She ducked, narrowly missing a blow from a sword. She shot back up, and punched her attacker straight in the nose. Four down, now just one to go.
Her last opponent she quickly assessed, he was taller than the rest, but not by far, and very much stronger. He had nothing but a staff in on hand, and the other clenched tight into a fist. She assumed he was slow due to his size, and was correct. He ran forward in her direction. She grabbed a branch and flipped so she was behind him. She tripped him, turned him on his back and held her dagger to his throat.
"Congratulations, Terra, welcome to our band of outlaws!" said someone sitting in a tree above her. She bowed in a playful way, laughed, and helped her five attackers back to a standing position.
"Terra, I would like you to meet Allan A Dale, Will Scarlett, Djaq, Much and little John." said Robin Hood.
He jumped down from the tree and held out his hand. In it was a necklace, the charm made out of wood, and it had a carving etched into it. Terra took it as the others took out identical necklaces from around their own necks and showed them to Terra.
"Wear it with pride, and use their meaning to do good and follow us in doing our duty to Nottingham and England." Robin explained. As he was adjusting the charm around her neck, he eyed the pendant already there. It bore a royal seal, one that should belong to a princess.
"I will. Thank-you, Robin." Terra said. She tucked her necklace under her shirt and followed the others to camp, trailing at the back of the group, feeling awkward as though she did not belong.
In front of her, Allan slowed down to walk with her.
"Why down here, all alone?" he asked her. Terra merely shrugged.
"I feel like I do not belong here…Yet." Allan nodded.
"I felt the same way when I first joined as well. Don't worry, you'll be fine!" He assured her.
She was about to say thank-you when she was cut off by Robin, who stopped. It was then that everything exploded from silence, to madness.
"Run" said Robin. Terra pulled her sword from her sheath and stood back to back with Allan.
"You ready for your first real fight as one of us?" Allan asked.
"Oh yeah" Terra replied, mirroring the smirk on Allan's face. They were outnumbered two to one, but no-one was a match for Robin's fighters.
"DUCK!" shouted Allan. She obliged, and he swung his sword over her, slashing her would-be killer. Terra nodded thanks, and noticed as one of the attackers was coming up behind Much, fast.
"MUCH!"
