The ancient, twisted oaks of Sherwood Forest stood sentinel, their sprawling shadows staining the damp ground. you was lashed fast to the gnarled body of one such tree, the coarse bark grinding against bound wrists, a prisoner in the woodland that birthed the outlaw's legend. A thick quiet settled, disturbed only by the sigh of leaves. Then, a voice descended from the canopy overhead, calm yet tempered like honed steel. "You must have known your actions would bring you to my attention. I have no love for your work—the stealing, the killing, the smuggling..." The speaker stayed concealed, a phantom woven into the green.
