Sinopsis

Conscription is not a gentle procedure, Robin and his archers were loaded into an enclosed wagon at spear point, they were told that the King had need of them. The road south led past the Fitzwalter farm, the wagon train drew attention from everyone in town and news must have gotten to Marian’s family. Robin jostled his way to the side of the wagon where he could see Marian through the barred windows, he waved at her and her parents. Marian saw him and fell to her knees, Robin yelled, telling her that he would be back, but he didn’t know if she could hear him. As she threw herself down into the dirt and pounded the ground with her fists, Robin’s heart was ripped from his chest. The King’s army marched into the distance as Robin watched her parents lifting her limp body out of the roadside mud.
