"I will never submit to your tyranny Roderick!" Caspian shouted pointing his blade at him. "I challenge you to a duel!" Hiss! An arrow walloped Roderick's armor and he spun to the ground! A firm hand grabbed Caspian and Caspian realized that he was surrounded by archers and swordsman. The soldiers had their hands in the air. "We have to go!" a kind, but firm, voice said. The hand propelled Caspian away from the scene and it was not long after that when they were rejoined by the archers and swordsmen. "You two lads have got yourselves into a scrap," the man who had taken Caspian said. All of the archers and swordsmen laughed.
"And into another," Caspian said bitterly.
"We lived at the castle," Luke piped up.
"We can't go back there now," Caspian said.
"He's," Luke started, but was stopped by a warning glance from Caspian. Whoever these people where, they most likely would take great joy in slaying Lord Gelon's heir. The men started to converse with each other. After awhile of whispered talk among themselves they turned to the boys.
"You can live in Forgotten Tower," their leader said.
"What is Forgotten Tower?" Caspian asked.
"It is a small old tower built in the South Forest. It was built as a outpost for the old Bandit Patrols, but that was many years ago. Now it has fallen into a wreck, but it is still livable, if not battle worthy."
"No one lives there?" Luke asked.
"Not a soul," a nearby fighter said.
"We have to leave on an important errand," their leader said. The fighters and archers sped away, their weapons glittering in the sunlight.
As they crested a hill, Caspian shouted, "Wait! You never told us your name!" The leader paused as the rest of his men descended down the hill.
"Robin Hood!"
