The legends surrounding the very man whose grave I seek are as
numerous as those of King Arthur himself.
He is known as Robin of Locksley to many. Others he is know him
as Robin of Hood. Some know him as The Ghost of Sherwood Forrest.
Yet there is one name few know him by - The Raven King.
As with all legends there is myth and there is truth. Often the
myth is woven so tightly around the legend that it is hard to
distinguish between truth and lie. However this much we know is
true. “Mortally wounded the hero lay upon a bed. He called to his
faithful servant and asked for his bow of ash and the arrows made
of oak and flint. He raised his bow and knocked an arrow on the
string. He raised the bow towards the open window and the arrow was
let fly. A search was held to find the arrow. The search lasted for
many days and once the arrow was found, hidden deep within the
forest, on the edge of a hill, beside a large white and gray
tree, the body of the Raven King was laid to rest.”
”Upon the day of his funeral and before he laid beneath the
mound that would become his eternal home, his beloved, Maid Marian,
placed a medallion upon his breast. This medallion was unique
because The Raven King, as a sign of his eternal love, had given it
to Marian. The design on the medallion was that of a tree with
continuous leaves - signifying the eternity. As they were never
separated in life, Marian placed the medallion upon Robin's chest,
intertwining his fingers around the leather chord, so that they
would never be separated in death.“
Nearby the coordinates that I derived through my calculations
using the sextant, I saw the mark and I knew I was in the
right place. I knelt beside the tree and there I remained
transfixed for quite some time. Mesmerized.
Snapping out of my dream like trance I begin to dig and after a
short amount of time I found what I had sought for... a small
wooden box. With trembling hands I opened what remained of the
Raven King.
