Rapunzel wandered through the forest angry and not mindful of the path she was on. She stumbled into a camp, complete with men, and a campfire. One man stood up and addressed her. "Who are you my lady?"

"Who are you?" She asked defensive.

"Why I am Robin. And these are my Merry Men." he bowed. "Are you lost?"

"No I just don't know where I want to go yet." She explained.

"Well you are welcome to join us." he offered. "It can be dangerous in these woods."

"I'm not sure staying with a pack of thieves is exactly safe."

"Please mam, no harm will come to you from us." He offered her a seat on a log. She walked over and sat next to him. That was when all the men realized her hair followed behind her like a wedding train. "That is some impressive hair mam." Robin stated admiring it.

"I'd appreciate it if no one touches it."

"Right well we'll all do our best not to. Right boys?" he addressed his camp, who grunted agreements. "May we know your name miss?"

"I'm Rapunzel."

"Very interesting name." Rapunzel felt a tiny hand pull at her dress. When she looked down she saw an adorable little boy. He held a fair sized leather bag up to her to take.

"Who are little one?" She smiled down at him.

"This is my son Roland." Robin smiled with pride and picked up his son. "What do you have for the lady Roland?"

"Berries!" Roland answered sweetly.

"Why thank you." Rapunzel took the bag and eat a few of the berries. Then she heard coughing from the tent behind them. "Someone sick?"

"Yes, my wife." He put Roland down and let him wander over to the Merry Men. "We are going to break into the DarkOne's castle tomorrow. Find a relic that can restore her health."

"You'll die if you do that. I've heard he doesn't like people who steal from him."

"I don't have any choice. The boy needs his mother."

"I don't think trading one parent for another is wise."

"I can't live, without doing everything I can to save her."

"How do you even know he has something that can save her?" Rapunzel questioned.

"He's the DarkOne." Robin answered simply. "There has to be something."

"You should try another way." she warned.

"I'm open to suggestions my lady."

"Are you sure only magic can save her?" Rapunzel asked.

"I'm certain that I haven't tried every other alternative."

"Robin."

"Yes Lady Rapunzel?"

"I are very lucky. Lucky to have a family, and someone who loves you."

"Thank you mam." He said appreciating her words.

"Robin I'd like to help you. But what I can do is a secret. Only a rumor, and I need it to stay that way."

"If it means saving Marian, I'll do anything."

"Alright. I'll go in there, but when I do, you can't come in. No matter what you hear." Rapunzel thought to herself for a moment. "Infact sing songs out here, and make as much noise as possible. Just don't listen to what is happening in the tent."

"Yes. I promise! Thank you my lady."

"Thank me when I've done something." She began to get up.

"Wait! Is there anything you need?"

"Just for you to do what I asked."

"Of course. Gather around boys!" Robin began a song and sang happily with his men, full of hope that soon his wife will be well again. Rapunzel entered the tent and saw the sick woman under her blanket, she gathered up her golden hair and laid it over the woman's chest.

Then she began to sing,

" Flower Gleam and Glow

Let your power shine

Make the clock reverse

Bring Back what once was mine

Heal what has been hurt

Change the Fates' design

Save what has been lost

Bring back what once was mine

What once was mine ."

Once the song was finished Marian rested more soundly, and Rapunzel gathered her hair in her arms and left the tent. While the men continued singing, Robin came over to her. "How is she?"

"She should be more healthy than she has even been in her life." Rapunzel answered.

"Thank you!" he exclaimed. "How can I ever repay you?"

"I don't need anything now. But one day I may need you. How about you owe me a favor?" She suggested.

"Yes! I'll do anything you ask." he took hold of Rapunzel's shoulders. "You saved mine and my wife's life."

"Take care of your family hood." She said returning to the circle around the fire.
