For Every Man There Is a Purpose

posted Sunday, August 3, 2008

Gisborne and the Sheriff had taken Marian as a hostage on their mission to murder King Richard. We had to find her and save the King, which meant only one thing – we were going back to the Holy Land. It wasn’t easy being back in Acre; I began to feel funny, shaky. As we walked through the King’s camp, we saw all the young soldiers and they reminded me so much of us. Robin and me…ah, those were good times. There was no doubt that those days were filled with death, destruction, and hunger - but good days nonetheless.

We met with the King and told him of the Sheriff’s plan to murder him. We expected him to be grateful but to our surprise he thought it was actually US who had come to kill him! He asked why would we come all the way to the Holy Land to ‘protect him’, when a few well-placed arrows by a master marksman could have accomplished the same feat in Nottingham? He wouldn’t hear us out. He sentenced us to die, but not directly at his hand – Robin had saved his life once so he said he’d have the desert decide. We were tied up, and left to broil in the hot sun. In that heat, with no water, we wouldn’t last long. Before I lost all my strength, I wanted to tell everyone how much I loved them…I do love them, they are my family. Suddenly Marian appeared on the horizon. I thought I was hallucinating – but then I realized we couldn’t all be hallucinating – as she got closer we realized with despair that the Sheriff was with her. He happily delivered her to die with her beloved Robin and then he rode off to kill the King.

Robin and Marian exchanged marriage vows in front of us; the best witnesses England had to offer. There was nothing to lose now…it was very moving. I couldn’t help but cry. Then, I heard a different voice speaking – it was Carter! I hadn’t liked him before but now I loved him! He freed us from our binds and together we rode off to save the King who was very surprised to see us. It appeared the desert had decided and we had won! We all agreed that Robin was going to pose as the King who was set to meet Saladin it was certain to be an ambush and we weren’t disappointed. We watched from the dunes above, along with King Richard who then realized we were telling the truth. We had to help save Robin, he was in over his head, and the Sheriff was out to kill the King no matter what. We split up to divide and conquer, not knowing if we’d all turn out all right.

Many shots were fired. First the Sheriff killed Carter! Then he shot an arrow through the King. But the worst was yet to come. Marian stood between Gisborne and the wounded King. Gisborne was going to finish him off. He told Marian that once the King was dead he’d have power beyond his wildest dreams and make her his wife… but Marian laughed at him. She said that she’d rather die than be with him; she finally admitted that she’d rather die than be with him, and that she loved Robin Hood. It was all too much for him to take and then in a fit of blind rage, he buried his sword in her guts. When we saw her lying there we couldn’t believe it. Robin was beside himself. He tried to keep her calm. They both exchanged final wedding vows, and he gave her a ring, and kissed her. Then when they were officially husband and wife, she removed the sword from her body and faded away. I think a piece of Robin will be lost forever. We buried both Marian and Carter near some palm trees and bid them farewell. Those weren’t the only ones we’d leave in the Holy Land - Djaq and Will remained behind to build a life there together. As for us, the King bid us farewell and sent us back to England with honor. Our beloved Marian was lost but our mission continues – for every man there is a purpose which he sets up in his life, let yours be the doing of all good deeds.

I believe that Marian will come back with the King. Here is my plan: The gang will be hanging out at camp and all of the sudden Djac and Will come. Robin hugs Will and Djac then Will motions for somebody to come then walks out Marian and Robin falls to his knees and they kiss and live happily ever after. If you wanna see season 3 go to youtube.com and type in bbc robin hood season 3.

We had to wait to watch Season 2 on DVD but Marian's death was no less devastating in December.We were all in tears!Don't ruin your great show by killing off the love story of Robin and Marian.The writers said they couldn't have Marian come back to life again.Well, why not??Think DALLAS (dream sequence).And that show was #1.I can think of all kinds of ways to bring Marian back-consult me and we'll talk!! It just wasn't right!

Hope the Sheriff gets what he deserves, especially after killing Marian.

Robin Hood is the best movie/show I have ever seen. when Marian died, if I wouldent have had my familly at my side I might aswell have started to cry! Bring her back for us, atleast, loss of Djaq and Will, but Marian too? Their romance (Marian - Robin) is a part of the story!!
