Merlin and Robin Hood do not belong to me.
Fight The Future
"Where's Percival?" Elyan asked and then turned to take Arthur's arm. Arthur had been wounded in the fight when Morgana and Agravaine had taken over Camelot. Morgana's men had chased them into the woods and Elyan could hear the hooves of the horses, Morgana was coming after them. He handed the wounded king to Merlin and told them to go; he would stay and fight and give Merlin and Arthur a chance to make it to Ealdor.
Arthur turned and watched Camelot burn, he felt that he should do something about it but when Merlin told him that they best be on their way he had no choice but to follow his servant.

Arthur was standing in the middle of a crowd of people; most of whom were dirty and most in tears. 'Where was he?' he wondered, 'and what was going on?' He saw a crowd of people; most likely noblemen from their dress standing at the foot of the stairs and that was when he saw the four men who were to be hang. He looked around for Merlin but he couldn't see him in the crowd.
One of the noblemen were was handed a scroll and he began to read from it – apparently by order of King Richard the four peasants from Locksley were to be hanged for stealing. Arthur felt that perhaps the punishment didn't fit the crime but he was a stranger in a strange land.
A few minutes later Arthur was surprised to see that the very man who had read from the scroll was shooting arrows and freeing the prisoners. The sheriff ordered the man to be killed and as one of the soldiers aimed his arrow at him, Arthur couldn't stop himself, he run towards one of the soldiers grabbed a sword and hit the soldier with the arrows. In the ensuing pandemonium, Arthur joined the men and they rode off into the woods.

Merlin was in a room and as he watched an older man with short white hair entered the room.
"Now that was a complete mess, wasn't it Gisborne?" he asked his companion, a tall dark haired handsome man. "I guess this means you get to get Locksley Manor back."
"Yes," Gisborne smiled at his companion.
"I want their heads," the other man continued, "Robin of Locksley, the peasants…all of them including that stranger wearing the red cape with a crest; he may be from a family still loyal to King Richard. A spy most probably."
"Consider it done."
Merlin knew that the stranger the man was speaking of must be Arthur; he needed to find his friend. But first he needed to find this Robin of Locksley. He needed to find out where they were and how they had ended up there and then they needed to go back to Camelot and save the kingdom.
