"In the contest for the golden arrow, after 10 rounds, the battle is betwixt our Lord Sheriff," Obligatory cheers come from the crowd and I shake my head with a scowl on my face.

"And the stranger known as Tom the Tinker," The Herald announces and Robin, in a wide-brimmed leather hat, gets a giant response from the crowd.

"Perhaps not a stranger after all," I hear the Sheriff say and I growl softly and look around, where I notice a bow and a quiver of arrows leaning on the stands where the crowd is sitting.

"Take your places," The Herald calls out and I watch as The Sheriff and Robin take their places before the targets, I look at The Doctor with a smirk on my face and he shakes his head and smiles gently at me, I grab the quiver and place it over my back and pick up the bow and look for a vantage point but I don't find one, I groan in frustration and just step forward.

"Shall we make the contest a little more interesting, my lord? The targets seem a little close, what say you? Another twenty paces?" Robin says and I smack my head with my free hand and The Doctor smirks.

"Why not?" The Sheriff agrees and the targets are moved backwards.

"Oh come on, I can shoot a target that is so much further back than that," I say and I smirk, I watch The Sheriff fire his black arrow into the middle of the target.

"Now Tinker, Let us see thy true face," The Sheriff says and watches as Robin's arrow splits his down the middle.

"Ye Gads! He has split the arrow! Truly, he is the finest archer in all England. Come forward Tinker, and claim your prize!" The Herald says and I smirk and step forward into the crowd's sight and I split Robin's arrow, shocking the crowd and Robin.

"She's full of surprises, isn't she?" I hear Little John say and I smirk.

"I am The Author, My skills as a Bowman speak for themselves, I claim my reward," I say as I walk over to the Herald who is kneeling, with the Doctor beside me.

"A mere bauble," The Doctor says and takes it before I do and throws it towards the Merry Men.

"Doctor!" I exclaim but he doesn't listen.

"I want something else," he says and I sigh and shake my head.

"Name it," The Sheriff says after walking over to us.

"Enlightenment," The Doctor says and I look at him in anger, all of a sudden the crowd cheer so we turn around and I see that Robin's arrow has split mine and I smirk.

"You want a contest, let's have a contest," I say and I then fire another arrow, splitting Robin's arrow once again, he then retaliates and fires without looking, impressing me.

"This is getting silly," The Doctor says and point this sonic screwdriver at the target and it explodes in a ball of flames causing me to jump.

"Fascinating, Seize him!" The Sheriff exclaims and I watch as the Three Knights draw their swords and Clara takes what looks like an anachronistic halberd from a rack, she tries to swing it but fails as it is too heavy for her.

"What are you doing? put that down," The Doctor tells her but she doesn't listen.

"I'm fine, I take year seven for after school Tae Kwon Do," Clara says and I scoff at her trying to show off.

"Don't worry, Doctor, I'll save you," Robin shouts and I groan.

"Oh for the love of god!" I exclaim.

"I don't need saving," The Doctor tries to tell Robin who doest listen.

"Your honour is safe!" Robin Hood says and I shake my head, not wanting to watch.
