Chapter Fifteen
One Year Later
Of course the story couldn't just be left there, everyone had got there happy ever after but there was a couple of things left over.
First let us go to Locksley.
Robin had returned to his old home, proud that his name now meant something other than outlaw. With him came his wife Princess Sofia. It might seem strange to have a Princess not living in a royal court but she was loathed to go back to the castle that held so many bad memories for her and King Richard wasn't so mean as to make her go. He could see how happy she was with Robin and granted her the blessing of staying with him.
Locksley had florished in the past year, new people had moved in as older people moved out. Laughter could always be heard from the children and everyday passed with new excitement and merriment. There was currently a new joy within the home of Locksley that Robin and Sofia shared and that was a small bundle of joy that had just been born. They named him Jack and you could already tell he was going to be just like his father.
Robin and Sofia had never been happier, they never forgot the past and they always looked forward to the future. They still met with their friends every second sunday of the month.
The Knighthoods
For the Knighted members of Robin Hood's outlaws, time still didn't seem real. Little John hadn't married but he actually got to see his little boy a lot more than he ever had before. It was enough to keep him happy.
Tuck was a mysterious enigma, he enjoyed the oppitunity given to him and even helped the local children in his area by teaching them useful skills such as reading and writing.
Allan had settled in nicely, it was harder for him to forget his old ways but he was really trying and was making a positive impact on the village he lived in.
And Much, well he finally got the happy ending he wanted when he wasn't looking for it. Her name was Sally and she worked in the house he lived in. That she was originally his servent did nothing to deter him, she was the most wonderful person he had ever laid eyes on and it was clear that within a short space of time he had become completely besotted. Rumours were afloat of a certain question he would ask soon.
Nottingham
Will and Djac had settled into Nottingham Castle quite well. Of course there were some things that had to go and other things that needed to be changed but they worked through the workload together. In the year since the King had returned, Nottingham had once again been transformed into a new city. Gone was the oppresion and the fear and here now laid happiness and contentment. No one was pushed within an inch of their lives to pay taxes and there were no hangings or murders taking place.
Nottingham had changed and for the better.
Gisbourne
For those who are wondering what actually happened to Gisboure it was at Princess Sofia's hand that he disappeared. His unwanted advances were becoming a tad terrifying to behold and Sofia had vowed to herself that she would never be put in a disadvantageous position again. She didn't like to be at the mercy of a man. Since Gisbourne wouldn't stop in his advances, Sofia made the decision to have him removed. It was a task she gave to her guards and they shivered in mention of the place he was to be taken.
There was a remote island in the middle of the sea. It was not in an exotic place or a land of warm weather. It was near to England where the weather was rough and unpredictable...it rained a lot! It was here that she banished Gisbourne to a lifetime alone. There was no escape from the island so he would remain there forever. Sofia felt little guilt in her actions, she hadn't after all killed him and it was up to Gisbourne to survive on the island. She'd given him no little more than he deserved.
Robin still laughed about what she'd done to this day!
Kate
Ahh Kate. She never did get it right, always obsessing over someone that wouldn't love her back. It was a cruel twist of fate that made Kate the way she was. It was nothing that could be countered by anything else. As bad as it sounds she was a bad seed and there is nothing that can be done for a bad seed when the heart is overtaken with jealousy and obsession. So you see she really did bring all her heartache on herself.
What happened to her? Not sure, in one final attempt to obtain Robin she pleaded with the King. However she seemed to have forgotten that Sofia was indeed the Princess of Engand and the King of England didn't take to well to having his siste spoken badly about.
No one really knows what King Richard said to her but the following day there was no sign of her. It was as if she had walked from the face of the planet and would never return again. Sofia guessed that her brother had given her an ultimatum but she never asked and he never told.
The End.
