I know it's been far too long since I put one of these up...I've been super busy and I actually shouldn't even be doing this, but I couldn't resist. Here's the next set! Enjoy and dont forget to review!
46. Captain
"Sir! The King wishes to see you in his tent!"
Robin of Locksley, Captain of King Richard's Private Guard, half turned. His green eyes flicked to the young soldier behind him.
"Thank you," he replied. His hand rested on the curved sword belt and his bow in was gripped in his hand.
To the young soldier who stood there, the Lord of Locksley was the very image of the glory they all hoped to achieve. He was a warrior.
The young man remembered that until Robin walked back into camp with his gang. He was still a warrior then, too.
47. Pilot
They were lost without him. That was a realization that hit Much many times in the months after Robin's death.
John and Much were the only two of the original gang left, and Kate…well, she had drifted away, spending most of her time alone these days. Archer tried – they were glad that he did that much. But Robin had been the glue holding them together, the one guiding them to fight for those who needed them.
Without him, it was difficult. They all missed him. They needed him to be there. Without their leader, they could not find their path…
48. Mechanic
"I really do not see how you managed to break this," Will informed Djaq. "Nor why you brought it to me to fix," he added.
The small Saracen woman blinked at him a few times, not quite sure what to say. The item Will held was a music box that a little girl from one of the villages had found. It had been broken then, but when she had asked Djaq to fix it, she could not resist.
"I did not do it," she replied. "But I know you can fix it, Will. You are very good at fixing things."
49. Mercenary
He did not quite know what he had been thinking, trying to sneak past Ellingham and get Robin and company out of the barn. He should have known that it wasn't going to work.
At least, he thought to himself, he wasn't as much of a traitor anymore. He had done something right for the first time since he had betrayed his friends. He had helped them try to escape certain death. Failed, yes, but it had to be worth something.
And if he died because of that, he would be proud to die with his friends by his side.
50. Serenity
The forest around her was quiet, peaceful, and so very beautiful. Small creatures moved through the dried leaves, causing a faint rustle in every direction.
Marian watched the trees, taking in the beauty of her surroundings. It was peaceful here, so very unlike the castle and the people there. The soft greens and browns were beautiful, particularly compared to the stark contrast of the grey stones of Nottingham Castle. There was peace in the forest, not at the castle, where Guy watched her every move.
"Enjoying the view, my love?" a deep voice asked behind her. Marian could only smile.
