How Legends Are Born Book 1 (a Robin Hood retelling)

chapter 24

Richard's pov

We are moving as fast as we can and all I am worried about is Rose.  My brother is sadistic  and is probably hurting her in the worst way. Before we left little John  told me her amulet  actually  had a special protection  from being raped but his magic was limited against dark wizards that spell will hold out till the moon tonight.

That's when the power Jafar has is strong enough to break the spell. He said dark wizards can do tourcher and other spells the amulet was to help with even ground fighting. Dark wizards though have secret spells to knock people out, tourcher, etc.. Apparently  once you break the code for unjustified reasons a dark grimor  appears and only dark wizards can read them.

We have to save her. She saved mine , Isabella and Uthers life without hesitation. She puts everyone ahead of herself.  She's a light that should never be extinguished.  I will admit this to myself  but to everyone  when she is back safe I Love her. She is everything  I would want in a wife and more . I have listened in on conversations  she is wise and helpful. I want her to be my equal. She can help my kingdom  to great heights and maybe kick the soldiers asses into shape.

By sundown we are in the woods  surrounding  the castle  that my worthless brother  had considered his. My parents  gifted it to him for his own space since he was not going to be king unless I was dead it was our second castle. They gifted me their ancestors home which is the true castle when I became king. Unfortunately they died on a trip with Uthers parents to gain a new alliance with this sultan in the desert their army was over run by forty thieves and a man called Babba. Thinking about my parents  brings a familar ache to my chest but, I brush it off got to get back to the task at hand.

We are going over the plan to wait for darkness to settle in and take out the gaurds  and find Rose in the castle when a glow appears.  I reach for my sword  when I see men bearing Camelots crest appearing with a few men riding dragons. I remember hearing  Uther  boast in the past of his special forces and now I am in aww. I finally see Uther  in his armor with his special  sword  Excalibur and Gene exit the portal. To go on how special the sword is it is extremely special. Rumor has it one of his ancestors  bonded wizard was powerful  that he spelled this sword that it  can beat any enemy  but can only be used  by the true king. If sheathed  only the king of Camelot can remove it.

I hope this throws your deranged brother for a loop I hear Uther say. It most likely will it shocked me I said. He laughs and says we will distact the men of the castle and you go in and rescue Rose. Thank you my friend I replied now all we have to do is wait for dark hold on Rose hold on.
