Rating: K
Synopsis: Very short One Shot about the death of Robin Hood.
Disclaimer: Robin Hood and all associated Characters do not belong to me.
This pain could not be inflicted by a weapon. Not by a sword, not by an arrow, not by a lance. This was the pain of loss. The pain and of grief. It gripped them all. The blacksmith. The Miller. The Backer. The woman in their houses. The children in the streets. The servents in his house. The travellers in the inn. It took hold of them and pulled them further and further into dispair. The light of hope was snuffed out suddenly, plunging their worlds into darkness. Their master was dead.
The manner house stood silent, waiting for a new master to be appointed. The new master would find a willing household and obedient subjects, but he would not be loved. They had loved the one who had died for them. The one who rode out, protected them, stood up for their rights. The grief darkened their soles. Their master was dead.
A woman has lost her lover. A man has lost his best friend. His men have lost a master. England has lost a good man. Robin Hood is dead.
