Robin Hood is the Prince of Thieves (robinofthehood) wrote in wariscoming,

He couldn't get up the stairs fast enough, fumbling with the handle of the heavy door that opened out on to the roof and shoving it open ahead of him. It was only a few steps to the roofs edge, and he braced his hands against the low wall as he took a ragged breath. He'd been watching the news for what felt like hours now, and it had been the same images constantly. They had nothing new to report, not since Kon had done what he could to stop the fire from spreading further. But that didn't stop how much had been lost. How much of his beloved Sherwood had been reduced to smoldering ash. He hadn't meant to snap at Much the way he had, but he'd felt so helpless that getting angry was the only thing he could do.

He'd spent all that time helping the people in Nottingham, and still he didn't feel he'd done enough to make amends for the atrocities committed in the kings name. He'd given up his home, his title, his freedom, and still it wasn't enough. And now? He'd taken on what was an insurmountable task, and in return? More loss. More sacrifice. No matter what he good he did he couldn't escape the losses. And who knew what he might lose next. Something he loved. Or someone. And where was God in all this? For all that he was supposed to be forgiving, Robin had seen none of that. All he felt from him was abandoned, left alone to pay for his sins. He leaned forward, forearms braced on the low wall, forehead resting against his hands. "What do you want from me?" He questioned the silence, voice low and hoarse. He knew now he'd never get an answer to the question. But in his desperation and anger he asked it anyway. "What else am I supposed to do?"
